Since I now know a lot about autism/AS, I wonder this person sounds aspie to you:

I knew someone in middle school, that talked a lot to everybody about his favorite things and he was obessed with stuff like game shows and hockey.

Well, maybe, but that's not nearly enough information to go on.

Esperanza is right. You don't give enough information to even SUSPECT that the person is ANYWHERE on the spectrum.

Dude, that's like saying that every chick you see with short hair is a lesbian.

I know someone like that by the way. Yeah, it's rediculous.

Now that you've lost your hair,

She'll be observing people in a place and if they seem to have a "symptom" or more she'll state that she thinks that person has Asperger's.

Ever since my diagnosis she thinks she's an "expert" on Asperger's. Gaaahhh!! ! :x
