You Might be an Aspie if...

Or the real people kept pushing you off the mountain.



Our class in 6th grade was playing "Telephone", in which everyone passes around a message by whispering it to each other. You had only one chance to hear it and had to repeat it to someone else. Of course, when it came around to me, I didn't understand a word of it. And I got blamed as the point where the message got misinterpreted and was ragged on, yet again, by the whole class.



People always ask me why I'm so quiet. That's why. I've just learned to keep my mouth shut as much as possible.....except when eating of course.

If it isn´t the case that you´re not on WP AND you´re not gaming
AND this happens early in the morning
OR you spend the first week of your vacation on WP

Interesting.....

You obsess over why a friendship doesn't seem to be working but you don't want to give up on it even though everybody else says "forget it". Getting annoyed with this advice since you will "forget it" when you are ready - not when somebody else thinks you are ready.

You might be an aspie if:

The only thing you will eat for supper is pasta.

There are only two pairs of jeans that you will wear.

You do mental arithmetic so fast your friend calls you insane.

You know how to programme your graphing calculator.

You feel affection for said calculator.

You have a heated argument with a classmate over which calculator is better, the TI-83 Plus or the TI-82.

Once in English class when you were twelve, you meant to say “You have to be able to identify with the character,” and it came out as “You have to be able to identify with the calculator,” and the kid next to you stared at you and it took you a week to get over the embarrassment.

You read medical reference books cover to cover for fun.

You regularly quote Shakespeare from memory.

You think that if someone tells you to speak up one more time you’ll scream.

You’re really hungry, you have some money for once, and you’re right outside a café, but you won’t go in to buy anything because you don’t want to have to make eye contact with the person at the cash register.

Your teacher gives the class a typed handout and you correct the punctuation mistakes in pen.

You can never find your glasses when you need them.

You collect stamps.

You study Latin for fun, and you prefer to do so whilst sitting in the closet.

Your idea of an enjoyable Friday evening is reading Discover magazine at home by yourself.

You hate rhyming translations because they’re inaccurate.

Your friends have to coax you into coming to school dances, and you’ll only come on the condition that you get to wear trousers instead of a skirt.

All the music you like is at least a century old.

You listen to one track from a CD thirteen times in a row.

Your mother says, “It would be nice if you could sort of clear the table,” and you wish to God she’d just say, “Clear the table, please.”

You prefer to store your books under the furniture rather than on your bookshelf.

You had created four imaginary worlds by the time you were ten.

At least once a day you go into a panic because you can’t find the piece of string you stim with.

You’re at your friend’s place with another friend, you know they’re both stoners, and yet when Friend 1 says to Friend 2, “You left some papers over here last time,” you say brightly, “School papers?”

You make an overly long contribution to this thread. (My apologies).

If...

...someone tells a joke and you start laughing when it's not finished

...you counted probability of meeting your favourite girl at the same town

...you remember your first girls car's plate number though 8 years have passed since you saw her

...you invented a replacement for alphabet in order to write a diary in a secret way.

...If you play in an Airsoft war and you don't realize just how many times you've been shot until you take your shirt off.

...If people frequently have to point it out to you when you are bleeding.

You could be Aspie if you see numbers and letters in colour and music in colour too.

If you compulsively tidy up the stationery cupboards whenever you have the chance at work.

Your desk is messy but you have a good idea where everything is.

Your sense of time consists of the current moment.

I did that for years and tried to explain it to people, but they didn't understand.

You might be an aspie if people laugh at you when you are trying to be serious, but your jokes go right over their heads.

OH, YEAH....


Every day for three months - Christmas music....

ARRRRRRRRRRRGH!
Does your mother know my mother?
My Mom: "I don't know what I'm going to do with this computer. I'm thinking about calling Apple tech support...(long silence)"
After a few weeks of hearing this I got it and offered to look at it - she immediately drove three hours round trip for me to fix it (it was a Mac bug).

LOL
I really like this thread

You might be an aspie if almost everyone of your "friends" has said something bad about you behind your back or you don't have friends at all.

I'm not a mathematical prodigy. i'm in rescource math.

Cracking up here... so me.

It does make you wonder, but I don't want to wonder about it.

You may be an aspie if...you are at your girlfriend's family's house, and, while she and her parents are in the kitchen (and expect you to be with them), you take the opportunity to adjust the color on their television. (They were quite happy the way it was).

Or, you replace some favorite lp's (I'll explain what they are to you young folks) with better sounding cd's but can't bring yourself to get rid of the lp's.

Oh yes, it is even worse when someone has a 16:9 TV receiving a 4:3 signal and their TV is set-up to stretch it out to 16:9.

You might be an aspie if you imagine your skills and talents as points on graphs of normally distributed functions. For example, I imagine my social skills to be on the far left, not so far from the origin. My full-scale IQ would be towards the right, pretty much one standard deviation above the norm.
