...While waiting in an absurdly long and slow moving line at UPS at 7:00 pm, you notice a map of Western Europe hanging on the wall. You spend about 20-25 minutes staring at the map while everyone else just stares blankly staight ahead. You almost loose your place in line becasue your so enthralled with the map.

...while reviewing this post you place your gin & tonic on the dresser next to your bed but fall short having it fall to the floor. (No. I'm not drunk)

If you are very argumentive without emotions affecting your logic.

Though sometimes this isn't the case for me...

If you get treated like you're invisible during a group conversation IRL.

If you were with your friends and they kept moving a lot so you moved a lot and they told you to stop following them.

When you do happen to happen to glance at yourself in the mirror you're taken aback because the person looking back at you looks nothing like how you "see" yourself.

......while in 10th grade biology (which you hate because you can't see any use for it), your sitting quietly as normal doing your home work for next period like usual. The teacher is giving some sort lecture and you hear him ask the question......"why do whales who beach themselves suffocate even though they are air breathing mammals?"

You instantly know the answer.
You look around the room and notice no one else knows the answer...even the usual people who answer every other question posed to the class.
You blurt out the answer and then continue to do your homework for next period.
Your teacher is stunned because this is about the only thing you've said the entire year and your grades in his class do not give the impression you're a smart person.

(Just FYI if anyone is wondering, The reason why whales suffocate while beached is because they are no longer suspended in water, therefore their lungs are crushed by their own body weight.)

YMBAAI... you're not an Aspie. Miracles happen. God! I need a miracle. Anyone want a bet about whether my cry will fall on deaf ears? The odds aren't good, but then they never are, are they?

...when moving from Indiana to Kentucky, you miss seeing all the Indiana license plates and being able to see where everyone is from in Indiana because the Indiana license plate numbering system is super cool!

A plate is numbered like so..... 22a1234.
The 1st two numbers represent the county that the car is registered in.
22= Floyd, 10= Clark, 31=Harrison, 88=Washington and so on.

Here is more detail http://thefuntimesguide.com/movabletype ... atags.html

So now when you see a car with Indiana tags, if you know the system, you know where in the state they live.
Sure most other states have the county writen on the plate in small letters you can't read until you get up close, but you can use the Indiana system from a distance.

...you wonder if the person who developed the Indiana license plate numbering system was an Aspie.

...you notice and actually spend time thinking about how the license plates on the island of Hawaii all start with H, Maui's all start with M, Kauai's all start with K, Lanai's all start with L, and Oahu's all start with....N! And you reason it must be because the letter O could be confused with zero. So why not another letter in Oahu, like A? Is it for HoNolulu? And it just drives you crazy because you don't know the answer. And you can't wait to see a car from Molokai to see what letter their plates start with, since it can't be M.

If you dont want to get a new carpet because everything will get moved.

...If you ask moderators to make this thread a "sticky" so it doesn't get lost.


So, how bout it mods?
