You might be an aspie, if you snap a continuous number of pictures of your art and post them onto the site of your local art store.

Ha, ok Earthbound_Alien, I get it, you're right! But OCD ties into Asp... and also that there are 50 instead of 2 or 3 like most people - plus being well-read on the benefits or bad points of each of those 50.
Then there's the growing layer of dust under all of them.
Those are more Asp than OCD traits but sure, they are related in a complicated way.

...you are accused of a crime you know you didn't do, but the main question being; What was the crime?

You might be an Aspie if you have little experience with a type of animal, but you can read its cues better than its professional handler does…

…yet you miss the cues of humans you know very well until you analyze the conversation an hour later.

...you try to interact with someone who has better life experiences to you, but such
a person always treats you as if you have no value to them.

...someone believes you are not on the spectrum without giving any evidence at all to you.

You see this sign when waiting at the emergency vet.
You're so literal you think it means "If your pet is injured, we'll be happy to help".
You think that's a little smug of them, considering all the pets are injured.
Why else would people be there, if they didn't want help?


Someone needs to tell you it's about pets peeing on the floor.

I stared at it for hours, thinking it was really rude.
"We'd be happy to take your money if your pet breaks a leg ... "

That's how I read it. ^

...you watch the news, learn about devastation in the world, but also begin developing
a belief that people on the spectrum will have their rights taken away.

You collect a bunch of random junk (rocks, feathers, pinecones, shells, plants, etc.) so you can have "samples" of things, and don't even know what to do with all of your "samples" that are totally not just glorified trash. lol

You listen to the same song for eight hours straight at work, two days in a row.
