You Might be an Aspie if...

Post Reply New Topic

When you're presented with some paperwork and you get exited because you'll be able to show off your new Times New Roman calligraphic font.

You panic if there is a social occasion and there is nothing to look at or focus on except each other

You know you're an Aspie when the boy you fancy kisses you and you think "Oh god what if he's got an unknown pathogen ! !!"

You know you're an Aspie when nobody else likes the music that you like.

You know you're an Aspie when you think you're adolesence-mood-swings are Bipolar syndrome.

When you have practically no natural reaction to finding something funny, so you have to try to remember to force a reaction so people don't think your dense or boring... also,
When you laugh and giggle like a maniac when you're nervous, making every-one around wonder what the heck your finding so hilarious

...when, at a birthday party, you spend much more time interacting with the host's dog than the host and all of the guest combined.
...when, because of the above, the host has offered to give you said dog.
...when it takes you several hours of analyzation to determine whether or not the above offer was literal or facetious.
...when, after determining that said offer was facetious, you still decline the offer with logical explanations of why it would be irresponsible and deleterious to accept their offer, no matter how badly you would very much like to.

Hi, although I am new to WP, and only self-diagnosed currently (assessment soOn to be being scheduled for I tend to be black and white of if you have something of not) I came to a realization about myself in that AS was a light-bulb to how I live my life. I even get slightly anxious simply doing this (should I post here first, what will people think or act etc) but here are my aspie quirks.

You might be an aspie iif

......you find the pattern in the noise-makers that put people to sleep, and thus never used it again. A pattern is to be found, and was found, for the lightning, the white-noise, the river etc.

.....remember having more conversations with teachers in high school and junior high than with classmates.

.....Realize you high jacked a conversation by noticing you talked a lot (not by noticing boredom in the other person) but then keep going-on talking.

......a elementary school teacher makes a bet with me saying I cannot speak for the rest of the day, with the bet being $0.25
......after making a bet to not speak for the rest of the day, take it fully literally when you go to your speech correction session and not speak.

.....when people think you were telling them to f*** off because of your facial expression (or lack thereof) when in fact you were simply thinking.

....use "when in fact" , "in regards to" , "I concur" etc in a seemingly normal conversation.

......having people make it a goal to get you to make a grin or giggle because they think you never show emotions ( but know we have them ) and then take it as an accomplishment when you do full-heatedly giggle or smirk.

.....Unless in a pool, freak out if you get wet (such as sprayed by a hose). Prolly something with touch sensitivity.

.....when people try to hug you when they full on know you don't like to be touched, and when they do hug you, you are internally freaking out on how to get them to stop hugging you.

....last, know what an oxymoron is, love the oxymorons, then just realize you yourself as an aspie are grossly oxymoronic

I got more, plenty more. But maybe for a later post. I don't know if this is AS but I relate fully to everything on here, and descriptions of people with it. Hope it rings true so I can get an answer. Else, I'm loving it and crack up with these aspie jokes/quirks.

You know you're an aspie when your special interest is the most important thing in your life, and if something troubles you about it, then it's an emotional crisis even though logically you realize that it's pretty trivial in the grand scheme of things.

you know you're an aspie when:

- that cute guy/girl asks how's it going and you smile and give a shrug.
- when your friends try to encourage you to dance with a guy and you have no idea why theyre doing so.
- you're sitting in the taxi and watch the hybrid computer fluctuate when ever the taxi driver breaks.
- you just cant explain why you don't want to go to that "social advent"
- when driving an automatic car is 100% easier than a manual.
- when you can't recognise your best friend cause they have a new hair style
- when you alphabetically catagorise your best friends in order of 1st names.
- when "just a minute" turns into 5 hours later.
