If you bit a gel who told you to bite her. Weird but sadly true


I did this in middle school once... Worst part is that, since she said "Bite me" all the time (a sarcastic phrase that I didn't understand and had never encountered before), I imagined she only said it so much because she was waiting for someone to have the guts to do it. :? Talk about misinterpretations!

Oh, yes! And not just people you already knew, but coworkers and even the customers you only interact with for a few minutes. "Why in the world are you working HERE?! You're so smart! You should be a *insert impressive-sounding job here*!" As if we lived in a perfect world where simply having the knowledge meant all the metaphorical career doors were open to you. :roll: Man, I wish!

When I first started going out with my current boyfriend, I had an initial period (about four months or so) where I kept thinking, "Oh no, I did something weird again. He's going to leave me now. Oh crap." And every time he stuck by me, I thought, "What is this ploy he's pulling? Normally guys argue with me or leave me after I do that." But he's even stuck by me after I realized I have AS, and still reminds me that he loves me every day. I really fought believing that at first because I didn't want to get hurt again, but I believe it now. Every other boyfriend has made me feel awful for my little oddities, or denied it when I suspected I had some kind of condition (another reason it had taken so long for me to realize what it was!) But I'm sure plenty of other people here can relate to that, so I'm going to stop prattling on...

Man, don't I know it. When people start telling me what job title I should have, I just look at them and say, Ok, I accept.

Suddenly, they don't have anything constructive to add after that. I have worked really, really hard to get as far as I've gotten and I really wish I could have a job that made good use of all the amazing things I am capable of doing but don't have the education or experience to "prove" it on paper. If only...

You know you're an aspie when this upsets you.

edited to add that I'm using chrome and accidentally set it to 90%. I fixed it. Phew.

You know you're an aspie (or at least a font geek) when you can spot the difference between Arial and Helvetica.

Yes, I'm noticing this a lot lately! So many questions need further clarification before I can answer them. I am especially noticing this at job interviews.


... when you frustrate any friends you dine out with by refusing to try some of their food.

You know you're an aspie when you can list Pi to 30 digits as soon as someone asks. But you sometimes havd trouble remembering your 4 digit pin number when in the check out line.

I don't know if it was said but I suppose you know your an Aspie when you are doing something, and then for some reason you stop and you realize that you need to go to the toilets and you have only 30 seconds left before you do it inside your pants.


Does that happen with Aspies?

-You spend hours concentrating on your special interest, only to find you had to be somewhere two hours earlier, but you'd forgotten all about it.

-When every time you go outside, you feel like you're acting.

-When everything has to be perfect/the way it should be, otherwise it bothers you.

-When you regularly catch yourself rocking without realising it

-When everybody thinks you're weird for wearing heavy/large clothes (for sensory reasons.)


you basically just described me :D (except the last one)

-when you measured out the exact amount of condiments for your sandwich, then decided you don't want to eat.

-when people stare at you in the store because your wearing shorts and a light jacket and its snowing outside.

You don't give a ^&*% about anything, it's for the best no wars!

Unless your Hitler that is theirs is a was Hitler autistic thread going around here , the more I read the more......

His best friend was Blondie after all :wink: not the human one of the canine variety :wink:

He was right to end the life of his dog could you imagine what the "roaming Mongols " would have done to it ?

If I where to die suddenly I'd have my birdies put down to , I don't think I could trust any one with them (does that sound aspie ?)

YES!

You might be an aspie...

If you speak along with the automated voice introducing your voice mail
If you make the facial expressions described in the book while you are reading
If you know how many seconds there are in each phase of your intermittent wipers
If you know how many dings the seat belt reminder makes, and the interval between sets... and you keep listening to make sure the car gets it right.


The windshield wipers on HIGH makes me unnerved! I begin to panic! I can't handle them on high!!
