You know you're an Aspie when, in an old family video taking place at a party, you see 2-year-old you running up to your mom, being picked up, and immediately start stimming (curled hair with one hand, sucked thumb on other, in my case.)

A lot of toddlers curl their hair and suck their thumb when being carried. I see it a lot, and think it's cute.

I can't say because this is a "family friendly website"

Loner Mutant seems to be on the same page in that regard :wink:

You spend 75 million hours playing video games, you know it's a similar difference *and that your wasting your life and you think "meh" oh well.





I'm waiting for the next video game crash it's been 30 years since we've had one how long can the " industry " keep churning out another FPS clone year in year out ? (Forever in the minds of EA and Activision :twisted: )

Thank god we have cool companies like Sega keeping the bastards honest. :P

I still twirl my hair, especially if I'm tired or stressed.

You know you're an aspie when you stim all day, while your coworkers are able to actually sit still. :bounce:

You get called a cynical jerk on another thread, your not offended but instead find that amusing. :P

I know. But most older kids/teens/adults don't continue to curl their hair. I still catch myself doing it sometimes. I just think it's funny how it's always been with me, and that even at that age, the party got too overwhelming. (Though knowing my relatives, it could very well have been caused by some drunk aunt that just wouldn't leave me alone. :P )

You know you're an Aspie when an incessant car alarm wakes you up, prevents you from falling back asleep, and almost tempts you to open the window and chuck something at it... though when your boyfriend (who was already awake) asks what you're doing up so early and you tell him about it, he goes, "Car alarm? I didn't hear any car alarm."

I can relate to this.

...you get called odd for having no interest in relationships. Your Aspie friend tells you he also had no interest in relationships when he was your age.

Yes, yes, yes, and yes...

Like, #2, when speakers start to get wound up by the sound of their own voice, it all turns to blah, blah, blah in my ears... and I start picturing them in correlation to the music in my head and make a music video out of it rather than an emotionally charged (whatever that means) speech.

If what you thought to go eat turns out to not be available in the kitchen, you flap a bit and then leave without any food...only to come back 20 minutes later and repeat the whole process until you are so hungry that you just grab something stupid to eat.

Oh, well then, it's official. :lmao: I was housesitting and the peoples' pet frog died and I didn't know what to do with it, because it was too big to flush and if I buried it in the yard the dogs would dig it up and I didn't know what it died from and what if it was catching and the same problem if I just put it in the trash--and on and on like that. I eventually ended up wrapping it in plastic and putting it in the freezer until I could decide what to do. And of course I forgot all about it, so when they came home and looked in the freezer...

You're in your 40s and your imaginary friends are still around--but no real ones.

My friend thinks I'm a lesbian just because I don't see the big deal of kissing a girl. I don't think that automatically makes you a lesbian also I'm extremely picky with guys and I don't think hardly any celebrities are hot so now she's all suspicious. She's always like "It's okay you can tell me." That's why I think I'm borderline asexual.
