You may be an aspie if you browse the racks or the comic book store for hours, have a loyalty card with the shop, the owner calls you at home when a new comic of your favourite series is out and yet it takes you two years and a comment of a housemate to notice that you are the only female in that shop.


Mind you - that was the early nineties. Nowadays I shop online.

You might be an aspie if you always respond to the question 'does my butt look big in this?' with 'yes, huge in fact'...

You might be an Aspie if you listen to the same music over and over.

...If you realize four months after the fact that two of your friends were dating... And only then because another friend mentioned it.

...If you are the only person in a room who thinks that the music is too loud.

You ask "what?" when someone asks you something because you didn't process the question so you need to hear it again

Your mother tells you to close the gate on the back of the mini van so you do out of impulse and it hits her in the back. You apologize about it and she starts crying as she holds her back and you run in the house because you don't know what to do and how to handle the situation. Then you feel guilty for running away so you try and go back but you feel guilty all over again when you see your mother in pain so you stay in your room.

You are too busy with what you are doing rather it's your interest or whatever and you don't stop to eat and you still don't eat even if your tummy is grumbling

You meet people and then you realize you don't even know what they look like because you didn't look at their faces

Your friend or partner or whomever makes plans and then that time comes and you get upset if it changes all of a sudden even though you didn't really wanna do it or were not interested but you are still upset about it because you were expecting it and now you have to switch gears again and it's hard because you can only do it once, not twice

You get given some packs of ear plugs by a friend. You debate whether or not to match them by colour; so that you're not wearing odd ear plugs.

Or is that just me?

If your ideas have made your neurologist a very wealthy man, and you still pay his outrageous fees.

If you have calculated ways to solve the economic crisis but lack the diplomas to open the doors and do anything about it.

If you think the rest of the world is stupid, and think constantly telling them it will help.

You are only flexible and like surprises if it's something you like, same as with change and also if you don't know what else to do so you leave it up for other people to decide and you will follow along

Growing up, you only played with other kids if things went your way

As a child, your friends always had to pull teeth with you to get you to be flexible with playing such as letting them move your Barbie furniture around in your dollhouse and then promising you they will put it back when they are done

People always have to tell you what they want you to do due to "lack of empathy" because it does not come to you natural to just help them on your own or do things on your own for them

you might be an aspie if a great deal of your mannerisms tend not to be orthodoxical in nature nor form as a means of stating such..
