I've often been on forums and blurted out that I think someone might be aspie (or more diplomatically 'show some asperger's traits'), usually as a result of certain key characteristics that have been described and basically I think they stick out like a sore thumb.

I've also noticed it in people in person but have a harder time approaching the subject, for some reason I find it easier to point out these markers on internet forums - possibly due to the reduced likelihood of having my block knocked off lol!

So can you 'pick' an aspie? How often/have you ever been confirmed correct? Have you ever had your block knocked off for blurting out that you think someone is aspie? :lol:

It is easy. If you see someone fascinated at the way paint dries, you know he is an Aspie.
