That's not rude. Is it?

Not to me it isn't but I guess it made the person feel old or something lol, rather than wise. |

| Hows it make them feel old. And why should they care? Age is a part of life just like everything else. If you worry about age a lot then no offence but your an idiot |

You might be an Aspie if when someone tells you to stand up for yourself you reply "I am standing up"
This next applies to me personally
You might be an Aspie if you hate it when people get hyperthermia and hypothermia mixed up. |

YMBAA if you feel like you have a pet blackhole following you around or maybe a piece of the twilight zone, because things literally seem to vanish within seconds of you setting them down.
YMBAA if the only way to prove you are not on drugs is to submit to testing and even then people don't really believe you.
YMBAA if you are often accused of lying because of the way you put things and feel like you could tell someone the sky is blue and still get that your lying again look.
YMBAA if you hate going to the movies because it feels too much like being idle, and you can't focus on the movie because ideas for your most recent project keep needling you.

These might have already been posted but I'll mention them anyway.
You might be an aspie if:
- Nobody could pay you a million dollars to go into a clothing or shoe shop
- You questioned the bible and Christianity a lot
- You like to take a lot of photos of animals
- You have more photos of animals on your camera than you do of your family and/or friends
- You would prefer to be friends with animals than with other people
- You find the internet is the only way of truly communicating with your peers |

When your idea of a quick maths question is working out how many seconds are in a standard calendar year, leap year and a 365.25 day year (because you don't like the leap year system), then use this calculation to work out how many seconds old a person would be on their <insert number> birthday or you then take the distance light travels per second and calculate the actual distance a light year is in miles.

I used to actually dispute it with people when they said I was intelligent, now I just sit quietly and don't say anything as it seems to cause problems if I open my mouth.

I'd never heard the word 'Aspergers' as I'd only ever read it, then I watched a talk Simon Baron Cohen gave. Ever since then it's bugged me when other people say it wrong.

You might be an aspie if you immediate ran to youtube to listen to him say it cause you were CERTAIN he would say it wrong.
and you might be me if you were pleased that he didnt.

Well, I did once (to fill time while waiting for everyone to grasp a concept in sixth grade) work out the speed of light in a vacuum in miles per hour, miles per minute, furlongs per fortnight, and chains per century...

You might be an aspie if...
...You really wish that when you were given a chore list they would be more specific. For example, when they tell you to clean the bathroom and it looks spotless already.
...Your in boyfriend showed you a video on youtube on hypnotism tricks and got frustrated when you overthought them and they didn't work.
...You miss the days when you went to Catholic School because there was a set uniform and everything was the same. Except on 'free dress' days.
...You attend a Halloween Carnival for your school and end up helping the school president, one of your close friends, behind the scenes rather than participate in the activities of the night.
...During said Halloween Carnival you are introduced to people and you bow only to have them look at you oddly. Then you realize they were waiting for you to shake their hands.
...When you are doing the recycling you tell your friend, "The glass is half full, should I put it in a bag?" and she looks at you confused having assumed you were speaking metaphorically.
...You compile your own list and slowly remove repeated statements as you bring yourself up to date with the thread.
...You once spent a whole morning and afternoon catching flies inside of an old plastic container that had a slice of bologna inside as a lure and thought it was very entertaining. You then kept the flies as pets, naming each and every one, and were very disappointed when you found them dead the next day.

When I read Nightcry's post on page forty-eight where she mentioned that she was fascinated by elevators I remembered this one time when I was visiting Hawaii with my best friend and her family. I was in Oahu and I spent six hours on the elevator in my hotel because I found it fun. I got tips too! Well, of a dollar, a pretzel, and a chip. Also, when I left this Asian woman ran up to me and gave me a hug saying, "Bye bye, Elevator Lady!" |

It bugs me when people use the word "hypo" to refer to hyperactive behaviour.
