You mean normal people don't do this?

My 7 yo daughter was talking the other day to me about me and her brother having "You know, the A word-burgers." She honestly thought that's what we were saying and she knows that she's not supposed to repeat that word.

You think your superior on almost all levels to most of the worlds population .

People that merely think they are superior are especially annoying to those of us who actually are superior.

YMBAAI...

You take the first sentence in this post so seriously that you report me for trolling, in spite of the winking smiley that follows it.

Well I wish I had it all figured out when I was younger , may be |I would have if i was correctly packaged (medicated0 and had a family that gave a %hit.

Grown up and correctly medicated aspie now I know how awesome I am , though I 'm quickly put in my place around here , many of you are of the ( smugly) superior kind , that'[s nice

When I'm playing my Sims, I make my Sim-me the total opposite of me into the type of person that I wish I were. She's very popular and goes into all the clubs and just is NOT me.

* When someone says they're "going up to Sydney" you instinctively look up toward the sky and resist with all your might to tell them you think they mean "north", not "up"

* You and a friend see a man on the street that you can tell is Ethiopian by his East African appearance and flag-themed jacket, and you interrupt your friend to inform him of this, spurring a monologue about Ethiopia's colonisation by Italy, Hailie Selassie and Rastafarianism.

* You are excited about the release of the new edition of the street directory.

* You have a categorised document filing system at home, but you're thinking of moving to a unique ID label and document index system instead, for faster searching, and to account for the propensity for single documents to fall under multiple categories.

* You won't lie to children.

* You get the top score in your class on a US geography quiz. You have been living in the US for 2 months at this point.

* You always say "zero" for the number 0, never "O". If someone says "O" in a phone number, you're pretty sure they mean 0, but you always consider the possibility they mean the letter O.

* You can't stand when someone doesn't complete a proposition they begin with "If", eg "If everyone could move their seats back a little bit" - yes, if they could move their seats back a little bit, then what??

* When famous sportspeople visit your school and ask if anyone has any questions, you ask them an obscure trivia question.

* The teacher asks you to teach the other kids how to program the lego robots.

* When driving, you put your indicator on to turn the corner at the precise moment that you calculate is the earliest moment you can indicate your intentions unambiguously.

* Your friend didn't say hi to you when he unexpectedly saw you in the street because you looked angry, but you were really just thinking intently...

I'm still wearing clothes from two days ago. Sounds gross, but the sensation of taking them off and putting on cold, unworn clothes is annoying.

YMBAAI you'd rather get the earlier bus and pay full bus-fare but get a seat on a peaceful empty bus, because the rest of the buses in the morning get really crowded - even though you can get on for free or reduced bus-fares on the later morning buses because you have a buspass.

YMBAAI you are sitting in your room at your computer with earplugs in your ears, because your family are all getting their lunch right now and you really loathe the sound of chattering, kettles roaring, plates clanging, et cetera, in the kitchen because it is SO distracting! (My room is right next door to the kitchen).

YNBAAI you stand all your pens up on end, if they got a flat end.

You might be an Aspie if you respond to Craigslist ads with admonishments about their poor spelling and/or grammar.

... if the reading on your toilet is lexica about obscure subjects
... if you've ever freaked out after someone "misplaced" the remote (as in put it on the wrong table)
... if you love airport lounges because you get free web, drinks and noone there expects you to interact in any way
... if you think that internet delivery services are one of the greatest gifts to mankind

if you prefer staying in your room when there's a stranger in your house or wait for someone else to check them out with you because you feel awkward doing it alone.

YMBAAI:

You're 21 and still waiting for your brain to revert to adult mode.

you might be an aspie if, you can see things in your mind but, not able to express them in logical manner..

...if your mom is exasperated when you insist on going through self checkout, just so you dont have to talk to the cashier..
...if the words "friendly banter" make you shiver with fear.
...if you have a sense of humor most people dub "quirky" with an awkward look on their face .

yes.
