I'm not sure how to describe it, but you know the nodding back and forth that autistic people exhibit?

Well, I had a lady ask if I was okay while I was doing it. ( :roll: :lol: )


I never really thought about it before hand, but it is a very, quirky quality about us..


I do it when I'm relaxing, or when I'm deep in thought..

When do you do it?

I don't nod, but when I zone out into my world, I answer yes automatically to every question I'm asked. This got me in trouble a couple of times.

That sounds like me. If I'm with someone who has an angry or argumentative tone, I simply zone out and begin to answer with very vague answers like "yes" or "well, maybe."

Simply put, it doesn't make sense. Doesn't spell out or show anything meaningful.

There are three kinds of people in this world - those who understand binary and those who don't.

it could be worse, it could be this: ... .... .. -

And no I'm not fluent.

My dad used to say it like this

five - aitch - one - tee

Don't worry wobbegong, that's more morse than I could have figured out. :P I only know two words: .-. --- --- .--. --.. (rules, but spelt as "roolz") and -.. ..- -.. . (dude), and they're just learned by rote. :P

As for nodding, I'm not quite sure what you mean by that. :? I know about rocking, but I haven't heard of nodding before.

Please post in english. We can't check "binary" for things that may be against the terms of service.

Thanks,
Alex

OOH, Alex. Your authority is SO charming it's like:

(See) reflections on the water
More than darkness in the depths
See him surface and never a shadow
On the wind I feel his breath

Goldeneye, I found his weakness
Goldeneye, he’ll do what I please
Goldeneye, no time for sweetness
But a bitter kiss will bring him to his knees

You’ll never know how I watched you from the shadows as a child
You’ll never know how it feels to be the one who’s left behind
You’ll never know the days and the nights, the tears, the tears I’ve cried
But now my time has come and time, time is not on your side

See him move through smoke and mirrors
Feel his presence in the crowd
Other girls they gather around him
If I had him I wouldn’t let him out

Goldeneye, not lace or leather
Golden chain take him to the spot
Goldeneye, I’ll show him forever
It will take forever to see what I’ve got

You’ll never know how I watched you from the shadows as a child
You’ll never know how it feels to get so close and be denied
It’s a gold and honey trap I’ve got for you tonight
Revenge is a kiss this time I won’t miss
Now I’ve got you in my sight

With a goldeneye
Golden, goldeneye
With a goldeneye, goldeneye

I never knew this nodding thing was a symptom of Aspergers. Well then, you learn something new everyday. This has actually been pointed out to me - half the time I don't know I'm doing it. and another thing: my dad - 56 years on this mortal coil - does this all the time too. He hasn't been diagnosed and doesn't appear to show any classic traits.

I do it when I'm really upset or angry at something. I also do it if I'm particulary lonely/sad for some reason or other...it's rare though, for me to actually get to that point. I normally notice it and check it before it becomes too obvious.

Same here! And yes, you can get in trouble for doing that. :lol:
