Can you almost tell?

Can you notice someone, out in public, and kind of watch their behaviors and just think to yourself, "That person might have AS."?

I was just talking to my husband, and there is an engineer that he works with that I would be willing to bet *something important* that this person is an Aspie.

Just wondering.

yeah, i get a feeling about someone once in a while. I feel like I can recognize it in other people, but it may be my imagination.

I know some people who I think might have AS to a more severe degree than I have. I am not the most social person, but I know a couple of people who just seem to be out of it.

I'm usually too self-absorbed with my hyper-sensitivity, to notice what others are doing, or look like. Not always though. Whenever I do manage to relax a little, I can pick up on everyones' personalities. It's a self-defense thing. I scan people, in an effort to prepare myself, for potential social disturbances and/or unwanted social contact.

Sound familiar?

I'm with jawbrodt...I'm usually to self-involved to notice other people.

I think I have a little bit of Aspiedar...just a tad and only sometimes.

Sort of.

Yes.

Yes in small groups, but if there's more than 3 or 4 other people I get nervous and don't notice much at all.

heh heh
i don't get out much... i just chill with my small group of friends and mind my own business a lot, although i have been expanding a little more recently. I'm somewhat notorious (for being so strange and writing such neat music) amongst some well informed people in my school.

Oh, you write music. That's awesome. (I just replied in the other music thread too).

I have a friend who I know is an aspie. I think that I am but I'm not completely sure; but he's even weirder than me. Other than that, I don't see many people because I live in a rural area (near a city, but it's a good drive) and I don't go out much!

Ran into someone I know. This woman always tells me stories as if I knew the pertinent latest facts of her life, despite me only seeing her once a year or less. And she doesnt know when enough is enough, and last time, did it in a highly inappropriate place(the narrow exit of a store), regardless of my cues that we should move.(we were getting glared at by staff).

The latest story related that she is estranged from her family now. Very Aspie-like, Very annoying situation.

Aspies dont have to like other Aspies(I now think she is one)

An older woman who used to vollunteer for SHFL, I am pretty sure is an Aspie of the crazy staring, extroverted no regard for physical boundaries variety....she used to drive me insane...

Same 'ere.

My focus everyday is getting stuff done; not concerning myself with if other people has AS, or something else..

I once had someone sat beside me on the bus who was very busy hand flapping. I don't know if there are other disorders that have this as a symptom, so I think he may have been an Aspie.

I couldn't care less anymore. Most of whom I consider having AS/HFA are people whom I wouldn't want to have a conversation with. I find them annoying.

Kaleido, he could have just been very anxious.
