You Might be an Aspie if...

this times infinity.

.....when you have organised all your textbooks into a logical order such as the Dewey system (and when you have enough textbooks in your bedroom to do that)

... your very first memory is of one of your special interests.

... when you get a sense of a rule being broken and a need to proclaim, 'Foul!'.

The kids in my daughter's school have been given £1 each to invest in an entrepreneurial enterprise and return profits to the school. My daughter bought a velvet art poster, spent a while colouring it in and sold it for £3. She put in a lot of effort and I'd say it was worth the £2 profit. She will buy another 3 posters, colour them in and sell them for a total of £9. My friend told me that her son had made £50, by buying packs of chocolates and selling them individually. But, as is the case with multipacks, the label states that they are not to be sold separately. I haven't told her that she has broken the law, yet. I imagine many of the kids will have done this, but I doubt the school will say anything. After all, it's a money making scheme for the school funds. But, I will tell them that they need to be teaching morals and the laws of the land, as well as business acumen.

When i was 18 years old.when i fail to make a relationship with any friends for many times.when i had frustated make a relationship with everybody else except my parents

Nevermind that some of the rules are your own arbitrary whims...

Yep!

You know you're an aspie when your first real conversation with your boss you've worked with for over a year is when he finally asks something about your special interest.

You know you're an aspie when...

...people always know what to get you as a gift without having to ask. (Ex: Books, books about your obsession, reference books, a subscription to a magazine like Nat. Geo. or Scientific American, etc.)

...the only thing you like about the mall is the beautiful fountain in the middle (or the shiny decorations at Christmas time.)

...you hate flea markets, used car lots, and other places that tend to use haggling because you're bad at convincing people and know you're probably going to get ripped off.

...people tend to think of you as "random" because you'll point out sudden things around you that others don't tend to notice, or because a previous topic has gone down a "thought chain" in your mind to the point that the next thing you say seems unrelated to what you were just talking about.

...you have more friends online than in real life, simply because it's easier for you to communicate through text than through speech.

...regardless of the line above, if you tell anyone that, they tend to think you're a loser.

...you often encounter words that you know how to spell, define, and conjugate... and yet you have no idea how it's pronounced because you've never heard somebody say it out loud before.

...you warn people that if they try to tickle you, you cannot be held responsible for any injuries that result from it. (I swear, my legs kick from reflex. I can't control it. )

Ha! Curse of the self-educated.

... someone you lives with invites people over and does not tell you in advance. Of course, you spaz out, then they get mad at you for spazzing out at them.

And then they continue to invite people over without giving you notice for the next consecutive 3 days and they wonder why you spaz out every time and why the spaz's get worse every time!

When your co-workers call you "Walking Wikipedia" because they can ask you a random question about practically anything and you can explain it!

When you laugh out loud at a story someone is telling you, at an odd moment, because the movie in your head of what they're describing just looks hilarious!

When you say something that sounds totally normal in your head, but when it comes out of your mouth, nobody gets it and you're not sure why!

When you feel the need to explain the complex systems of (insert interest of the moment here) to all your family and friends because it's just so fascinating -- well, at least it is to you!

...Or when you're called a "walking dictionary" because you can spell and define any word they throw at you!



Oh man, and then when you go to describe why you're laughing so hard, everyone gives you a weird look. (But you're too amused to care anyway. It's just sad they miss out!)



I used to work in a garden center, and so I was researching a bunch of local plants. I learned that Spanish Moss is part of the Bromeliad family (as are pineapples!) I was so amazed that I told one of my bosses about it... He gave me a look that actually made me feel embarrassed. "Umm... Cool?" he responded. My face must've been red after that, but what? It was fascinating to me! This weird moss-like plant is related to those funky flowers, is related to pineapples? That's incredible! But anyways...

You know you're an Aspie when...


- you don't answer your own cell phone even though you know the person who is calling you.

- on the weekend, you get online in the morning, and suddenly it's already nighttime.

- you get scared when someone knocks on your front door.

- your cats seem to understand you better than any person in your life.

- you can eat instant Ramen Noodles everyday and it doesn't bother you.

- you don't care if there are holes in your clothes if you can get away with wearing them.

- you cut your own hair.
