.....you might be an aspie.

Post Reply New Topic

(happened to me) YMBAA if you go to a resturaunt, sit at the table furthest away from everyone else, the waitress knows what you want cause you always get the same thing, you reply "I have limited funds today, so I will have to order something cheaper" and when you walk by the kitchen, you hear the cook say to the other cook "see, they have book smarts, not people smarts"

You might be an Aspie if...

-You manage to interupt multiple people in a discussion
-Once you get your turn in the discussion, you meaner verbally for a few minutes before making the point that should have only taken a few seconds.
-You write more than you speak
-You cringe at the sound of knives being banged on the grill of a Japanese restaurant but everyone else is fine with it.
-You have to "recharge" after meeting up with some of your friends and staying out for a few hours

If you feel the need to point out that nearly every previous poster has failed to notice on which side of the statement the ellipsis is, you might be an aspie. You might also be anal retentive, but whatever.

You might be an Aspie if;

If you are the first person your mum comes to when something's broken, even as a child

If you love to take things apart, and often did this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Disassembled-Diskus.jpg to your inhaler (same one, but green) as a child, and it still worked after putting it all back together. My mum hated it when I did this. She was always worried of me breaking it and being without an inhaler. I ended up with about 3 spares just in case, but I never needed them.

If you call turquoise/teal* green, but everyone else calls it "blue" and you don't understand why... (it's clearly more green than blue, anyone agree, or am I just colour blind? )

You're always told you "speak too fast/too quitely" when you think you're speaking at perfectly normal speed and volume.

...if you notice dangling participles.

...please point out the problem; I can't find it.

"...ellipsis is,..."

I am 85-95% sure I didn't do anything wrong there. For one thing, 'is' isn't a participle, for another, what possible confusion is there as to meaning here? I admit I put the word on is a weird place, but still...

.... sort your package of M&Ms by color.
.... arrange your package of M&Ms into interesting patterns.
.... eat your M&Ms in order of the colors of the rainbow leaving brown last because brown is not a color of the rainbow.
.... your day is made if your package of M&Ms contain the same number of each color.
.... you feel like asking for a refund if there is not at least one of each color of M&Ms in your package.
.... you feel cheated if any of your M&Ms are not stamped with an "M."

...you have an argument online about the placement of a comma

You might be an aspie if-

Your bed is not only filled with soft toys but all sorts of odd objects that you can't sleep without.
Text talk sets you stimming.
All of your collections are in an order logical to you and if they are moved or changed the result is not pretty.
Some days the only touch you can take is animals.
You break websites about your special interest because they were not meant to used to such extent.

Sorry - my bad - I think I meant split infinitive. But that would be splitting hairs.

You might be an aspie if people are always walking too slow because you just walk fast.

You are an ultra completinist for video games for example in game whre you collect things you max out the hud... then you write a guide for it for gamefaqs.com

...you've never driven in the HOV lane
...you made a Star Trek copy of the 'Trekides' (made-up elements mentioned on 30-odd years of
Star Trek) and placed them in the 'correct' positionson the Periodic table, relative to real elements (guilty as charged. if anyone wants a copy... Bonus points for doing it in LCARS...
You recognize from Giamm's avatar that it's Neelix dressed up as a Ferengi, and which Voyager
episode it came from (but not the name...

But I didn't split any infinitives either. See:

"If you feel the need to point out that nearly every previous poster has failed to notice on which side of the statement the ellipsis is, you might be an aspie. You might also be anal retentive, but whatever."

If you feel the need to defend your use of proper grammar from random people on the internet, you might be an aspie.
