That awkward moment when you go on a date at a restaurant and you realize that both of you aren't talking to each other, just concentrating on your food.

...and it's even more awkward when the food definitely isn't worth concentrating on by any stretch of the imagination.

... your running late for a dentist appointment, you grab your bicycle and cycle like a maniac to get there in time. When you arrive your sweating like a pig because you haven't done any form of cardio in a couple of years. There's of course two teenage girls in the waiting room with you, and after a little while they start giggling, you of course know it's because your turning strawberry red because your so exhausted, the fact that you know their giggling because of you doesn't exactly help on the situation = Huge amount of embarrassment.

When your mother in law says the phrase "shot your wad" and uses it wrong. As in "Oh Frances of course you should go back to school! Most people think that by the time you're 30 you've just shot your wad but.... are you ok? Whats wrong? Why are you breathing like that! Get her some water!"

When you go to have dinner at a Jewish friends house and have no clue that you just ruined his mothers china by putting ranch dressing on the roast beef.

...When someone tries to make an "awkward moment" joke with a situation that is not awkward, but merely unfortunate.

It gets a bit awkward when I don't understand verbal instructions.

You realize that even though you put the lotion on your skin, you are still going to get the hose again.

...when you ask your wife to define "over-analyzing", only to realize the definition of over-analyzing must be to define over-analyzing...

hmm..maybe more of a facepalm moment.

The awkward moment when you're hanging out with a new acquaintance and you realize you're on a date.

When you see an NT flapping their hands like an anime schoolgirl character upon seeing the latest release in the Twilight saga...

(I'm aware of the fact that not all persons on the Spectrum do this, it's just a commonly-occurring trait)

When you look in your classroom and notice everybody tapping their pencils in almost perfect synchronicity...

(Makes me believe stimming is far more common in the NT universe than people care to think)
