Seriously!! !! !! ! Nature walks are so great yet they're ruined for me lately because I'm constantly beating myself up for being annoying. I wish I could go out alone.

You can remember almost the exact order you got/bought every video game you own and arrange them as such.

. . . if you wear nearly identical outfits to school so many days in a row that a classmate goes to the Halloween party as YOU.

(that actually happened to me once)

Ah, yes, I was just thinking of college, where usually it was students pulling the fire alarm because they could/ they were bored. One time someone did it at 4 in the morning in December the week before finals. :evil:

When you can remember what your friends are months ago. Although I mainly do that to the one with an eating disorder.

You don't like sleeping with your bedroom door open even though you don't have to worry about privacy because you live alone, or you leave it open so your cats can go in and out as they please.

You treat your cats or animals in general with more kindness and understanding than human beings.

You easily recognize the facial expressions and body language of your pets but not humans. (seriously though, there are maybe about a million different articles on the subject on Google or Pintrest)

Your mom is telling your dad (who was at work all day) about all the fancy "bells and whistles" on the loaner car she got while her car was being repaired, and you say "Oh, yeah, I loved it too - it had satellite radio that had a station that played something by Tool!"

Yeah. No need for the battery of diagnostic tests there. That's person is officially ASD.

I had an appliance service job that provided plain green uniforms, so my housemates never saw me in anything else. For Halloween, I borrowed jeans and a plaid shirt, added a vest and hat, and they didn't recognize me.

Someone says to you, "It's a beautiful day", and you answer with "Thanks."
