I can hear the buzzing sound from the television when it is on zero.

I believe it! My son has "bionic" hearing and can hear a whispered conversation in the living room when he is in his bedroom at the end of the house, with his stereo on, and the TV is on, also. Once he walked into the dining room when I was on the computer and said, "You should get a new monitor pretty soon. That one is about to blow." I said, "What??! !!" He could hear a high-pitched whining sound that no one else (but the neighbor's dog) could hear. He had heard it many times before---just before a monitor would burn out. And sure enough---only some days later, ours went kaput and we had to get a new one.

I believe...

I can FLY;
Read an entire 535 page book in one day without any breaks;
Not sleep at all for 24 hours and still be hyper for most of the next day;
Do pre-algebra in my head;
Notice the wierdest patterns in stuff that no one else does;
Intimidate large groups of people without even trying (still don't know how I do that one)

I can figure out how to do the sequence of actions that are needed to get myself lunch, in only 2 1/2 hours.
Truly, my brilliance is unsurpassed.

Can go for a long time without having sex and not miss it. Wait, was my ex that cause of it?

-Long-term memory extending back to 2 years old.
-Sensitivity to slight temperature and sound changes. That's how I prevented my workplace from losing thousands after I was the only one who discovered the fridge displaying over half of the meats had malfunctioned, putting everything inside on the brink of spoiling.
-Can separate different instruments and sound effects in songs by isolating one and muting the rest mentally.
-Map an unknown stretch of highway by identifying landmarks, like a certain arrangement of signs, the number of potholes in the road, buildings in the distance, etc.

I currently work at a deli and I get the same thing about feeling weight before putting it on the scale.

1/ I do not fear death or want for any mythical after life. I respect peoples wishes for faith and believe it relieves mortality anxiety & meaning to life question, which is a good thing.

2/ I do not hold grudges, forgive and refrain from vengeful thoughts.

3/ Visually I can interpret body language and behaviour changes at a distance from people. Was invaluable when working as a Police Officer. Domestics and urgent duties with noise was too much stress.

4/ Cannot detect a 'BS Artist' or 'Conman', always the sucker!! !! !

I have the most amazing ability to be invisible...

I can talk to people while remaining inside my head at the same time

* not actually having Asperger's

I don't think that can be beaten. No, seriously, I'm so "aspie" that I can make it disappear and be labelled with something else, something like Autism.

* making people hate me when I don't even talk or interact with them

That's godly.

* when I do talk and/or interact with them, I make people hate me even more

That's omnipotent.

(I have to tell you, it's not working at the moment.)

I can cause fires without even trying

I can see patterns in the air and around things that apparently no one else can see

I have note for note recall of songs I enjoy (I like to think of this as my built-in ipod).

Notice details no one else does.

Remember completely useless bits of trivia while forgetting important things, like people's names or birthdays.

Good at fixing things, esp. plumbing.

Really good at pissing people off with minimal effort.

Get along well with dogs and cats (I often prefer animals to people, esp. on my bad days).

Usually know exactly how a movie or TV show will end within ten minutes of watching it.

I make awesome jambalaya.
