I went to the dentists and when he was about to clean my teeth he said 'youre not allergic to anything are you?' I replied 'cats' completely unaware that he was referring to anything to do with dentistry. The worst part about it all was no one, not him or his many assistants, laughed.  |

| My most recent ASD moment was getting out of the car, running inside, going to lock myself up in my bedroom and going straight to the computer. |

Forest for the trees.... in my situation: Went to the city hall with a fistful of paperwork ready to present every possible document needed only to find out at the counter that I just needed two of these!  |

My ASD moment today was havng a bunch of arseholes from a car whoop at me as they whizzed by. I was not dressed up in a mini-skirt so they certainly wasn't whooping at no sexy chick, so the ''ASD moment'' in that was I must of been looking weird for them to react. Don't know how I was acting weird when I knew I wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary, so soon the webpage ''Top 10 Of Life's Mysteries'' will soon be called ''Top 11 Of Life's Mysteries'', because I will be adding this to them....

I did almost exactly the same thing, but a year or so ago. I was in hospital and the Doctor asked 'Are you allergic to anything/' and I replied 'Yes, guinea pigs and penicillin'. He asked a question and I gave him the correct answer. If he had asked 'Are you allergic to any types of medicine that we may prescribe you' I would have simply mentioned the penicillin. |

I did something similar too except it was about something else. I was in child birth class and it was a lot like school because we were all sitting in our chairs listening to the nurse talk and she was showing videos and pictures and had us get into groups. But when she would ask questions like "Why do some women get induced?" and I would take them literal listing reasons why they would have it because they have a special needs child at home or other children and some have plans like a party they need to attend and everyone laughed. Turns out I was supposed to give out medical reasons only, not personal reasons for why someone would be induced early. I did that to other questions too because I was also supposed to list medical reasons only, not personal reasons. My husband kept saying "She reads a lot on the internet." He told me later while we were going grocery shopping that everyone thought it was so cute how I kept taking the questions so literal so that was why they were laughing. He then told me I was supposed to give out medical reasons to her questions.
BTW doctors have always asked me if I am allergic to any types of medicine and they sometimes list some. But I know they are just listing them as examples so I would know what they are talking about, not that they are giving me a list of things for me to answer and think they mean that medicine only. |

That would be discovering I have left some work in my inadequately sized locker, which needs to be completed for tomorrow afternoon, followed by me pacing up and down for the best part of an hour before someone yelled at me to go away so now I'm posting on forums.
Aren't you glad you get to listen to my life story? [/sarcasm]

When I am asked I usually say mold. Because I am and got sick before. I thought the doctors were asking if you allergic to anything at all. |

My most recent ASD moment: Right now. I got back from lunch in a crowded, noisy restaurant 40 minutes ago and I'm still feeling really out of sorts. I really don't want to see another human being right now...

Similar thing happened the last time I went to the dentist. They asked if I had allergies. Me: "yeah; nasal allergies." |

I just came back from my youth group meeting which I had to organize, and it went completely wrong because I did not communicate well even though I had planned it meticulously.
Also, my work in the library makes me act more autistic when I am around the socially inept staff in library tech. I do not know why, but today I was very bad.

| Today in grocery store. I was just finished with putting all off my groceries into the bag when a cashier at the adjacent counter started calling the information desk (unsuccessfully). The cashier at a counter I was told him: "Do not even bother to call, just go there yourself; the guy there probably thinks he can pick up the phone with telepathy." I immediately thought "You really mean telekinesis" but accidentaly, I thought that a little to much aloud, with a not really pleasant voice, so the cashier gave me one of those looks I am unable to describe and I left rather quickly. |

I was in the airport buying something in the duty free bit.
Cashier: do you have your boarding pass?
Me: yeah
Cashier: do you have your boarding pass?
Me: yeah
awkward silence
Me: ohhhhhhh you want my boarding pass?
another one like that...
Friend: if you got twitter I'd totally follow you
Me: follow me where?
I was being serious too 
I don't even know if I have aspergers, but it felt like it. |

| Probably me watching the same old vid over and over again today after reading my book and realizing two jets were in a lead pursuit formation/chase and excitedly telling my parents I could identify what maneuvers the jets were flying now without being told. Lead pursuit is very basic dogfighting stuff but it made me excited recognizing it. Of course they didn't care. |

I had this happen to me when I was caught off-guard watching a seagull drift lazily on a thermal. I was so mad I found a loose brick that would've surely gone through their windshield had they come back. |
