You might be an Aspie if a person you've never met knocks on your front door
and runs off without saying anything to you.

You might be an Aspie if you stay inside because the weather is too pleasant (because then there are too many people outside to avoid).

You find it frustrating when you and your Allistic bride go to a reasonably familiar restaurant and they ponder over the menu as if they'd never, ever seen it before! (I likely knew most of my order before we left the house.)

You might be an Aspie if you buy groceries at the same grocery store and employees
get annoyed by you being a regular on a daily basis.

Why would they be annoyed with that? Lots of people visit the same supermarket every day.

You can't figure out what is a socially acceptable distance to acknowledge someone from (this is very specific and embarrassing because it seems so simple, but it's not to me and this dilemma haunts me every day at work lol).

Indeed. I work at a grocery store and some people come in up to 3 times per day.
