You might be an Aspie if you are told off whenever you ask for something simple,
such as for example stamps or personal hygiene products like toothpaste or deodorant.

There's an extreme cold warning of about -25 to -35 but you've already been outside in your PJs, sandals, and no coat.

One of these days you might develop temperature receptors in your skin.

Or maybe not.

It was 10°C today and that was too warm for me. I've already considered wearing shorts to work. lol

You may be autistic if you become obsessed with the obscure as hell machines at your workplace, and start infodumping to your online friend about them and sending them diagrams.

You've had a headache in your eye for two days and finally discover it's because someone brought ONE scented dryer sheet into the house stuck on their clothes, and it's three floors away from you in a room with the door shut but it killed your head anyway.

The form's address block has blocks for: Name, Street, State, ZIP

You fill the form out and then wonder why it didn't ask for your house number.

You might be an Aspie if you cannot stand perfectionism expressed by a member of your own family.

Actually that is me! Rugby or football... No real interest and if I do watch any of them, I am not on either side... As I just would want to see a fun game without cheating or fouling. To me it makes no difference if my country wins.

But generally I would not go out of my way to watch it.

I never thought of the above as being a trait though. Is it?

You might be an Aspie if you're turned on by logic,

You might be an Aspie if you are in your home, you use the bathroom, you wash your hands,
and after you wash your hands, you brush your teeth!

Well half the things mentioned in this thread aren't really a trait, it's just satire.

I don't care for football either. Actually I try to take an interest for my dad's sake, and I try to pretend to be obnoxiously crazy about England winning in the world cup finals simply because everyone else is (even people who aren't into football at all).

You might be an Aspie if you can't get a date to save your life.

(This has probably already been covered, I didn't read through all 200 pages)

You realise your family stories are so bizarre they couldn't be published as fiction.
