You Might be an Aspie if...

-if in class you made comments and answered more questions than all the other students combined, OR you never said one word the entire year/semester...

-if, when in class and answering too many questions/making comments, the teacher suddenly refused to call on you until she realized that NO OTHER STUDENTS were going to say anything...

-if you have had that teacher take you aside one day and actually ASK you to stop making so many comments and wait awhile to give everyone else a chance before saying something...

-if, when recording your obsessionally favorite tv show, you start having a heart attack/tantrum because of the thunder storm/tornado icon at the bottom left of the screen that is RUINING your recording...

-if, when going to a specific restaurant, you haven't ever had to think about what to get since you've gotten the same thing there since you were 8...

-if, also, you would refuse to go back to that restaurant simply out of revenge because they got rid of your standard meal, infuriated over how they could personally do such a horrible thing to you...

-if you actually make organizational lists of your prized possessions (i.e., books, movies) and these are all in either alphabetical or chronological order...

-if, since living on your own, you haven't dusted in over four years, vacuumed in six months, but your books are ordered and spic and span...

-if you still keep your old X-Files VHSs which you recorded as well as the VHS editions which you bought, even though you have the ENTIRE collection on DVD as well-- and you shudder everytime at someone else's suggestion that you "Sell those old things!"...

-if you check timeanddate.com every morning just to make sure your wall clock is still runnning smoothly...

Guilty, guilty guilty!


There was a good one earlier where it said if you are a legend at your school, then you must be aspie. . .

GUILTY!! ! BWAAH HAHAAHAA!



three words;

General Tso's Chicken

yum yum



Why, legos are just the greatest toy known to man. who needs GI joe when you got legos?

I was a bit star wars crazy when I was a kid. . .I remember building lego "star destroyers" on skateboards and having intergaltic war with my brother. . .oh the memorys. ..



I sweat a lot so maybe just sleep in and wear one day. . .



I made the mecha in my avatar. . .too much free time!

.....and the Battle of Stirling Bridge takes place in a blinking field... The fact that it happened over a bridge was crucial to how the battle turned out (because the Scots cheated and ambushed the English when they were only half-way across, toally against the established laws of chivalry, but anyway....) The name is a bit of a giveaway there Mr. Hollywood.......

Heh. There is no cheating, because as the saying goes: All Is Fair in Love And War

To be honest, I have always wondered at the idea of having an australian play a scotsman....

Well, they'd both be drunken cheats who talk funny anyway, so who could tell the difference?......

My mother, who is obsessed with Scotland and its history and who is not on the Spectrum, says this EVERY SINGLE TIME she watches Braveheart. I heartily agreed with her the first few times. Now I just nod my head. Guess it would help if I were more interested in Scottish history.

She also remarks about that she is grateful the Scots finally took down the statue of Williams Wallace that looks like Mel Gibson. hehe.

Well, DUH! What other choices are there?


All of the computers in my house are synchronized with the time.nrc.ca (National Research Council of Canada) atomic clock using the ntp (network time protocol) service. That way I don't have to surf anywhere. The ntp protocol automatically compensates for the signal return trip time, and some of the better ntp clients will eventually figure out your computer's drift rate and apply an automatic correction if the time server can't be reached.

YMBAAI...you find talking to yourself enjoyable, actually more enjoyable than talking to other people..

wait a minute..what makes you think talking to yourself is enjoyable?

Funny that you would say that...My Mom(prior to my dx) was rather down on me for my "lack of stick-to-it-iveness"(my obsessions change rapidly sometimes)

... If you know everything about the caring for, feeding, training, and all the various breeds of dogs... yet your allergic to them.

If your pets require more social interaction than you do.

-if your pets HAVE more social interaction than you do...

You might be an aspie if:

1) You have memorized the entire city's emergency vehicle's major routes through the city and the locations of their stations.
2) You can identify an emergency vehicle by siren alone and be able to give a running monologue of what streets it's taking, even though it may be 1/2 a mile away.
3) If you are within 3 blocks of the fire station located one block from your house, you know instantly when the fire truck is backing into or leaving the station because you can hear the exhaust fan and ventilation system start up.
4) You insisted on taking a parachute to kindergarten because you wanted to be prepared for a fire because your class was on the second floor of the school and the teacher said to "be prepared."
5) When you were about 5 years old you went with your Dad to Best Buy to buy a stereo system and you know more about the Vedic religious traditions (which you had learned in school) than the Indian guy who was helping you.
6) After completing the software program Sierra's "Driver's Education '99", taking a correspondence-based driver's ed program, passing your written driver's exam test with 100%, memorizing all the traffic laws, and obeying them perfectly, you can't understand why other drivers don't follow the rules....:)
7) The 7th grade Science teacher tells you you're working too hard after revewing your bullet notes for the chapter. The assignment was to take bullet notes for the reading assigned in the current chapter, amounting to approximately 20 bullet notes or so, and you turned in about 47-74 bullet notes because you generated one bullet note for every paragraph in the reading.
8) You tell a good friend and professor from the previous semester that you have her for a class this semester and she says, "Oh no, not again - you'll be asking me too many hard questions again. Besides, you should be teaching the class, not me."
9) When a professor asks for a show of hands asking how many students sat in the same exact seat during every class for the entire semester, you are one of 3 people who raise their hand out of the entire class.
10) A professor for your operating systems class (Windows command line and Unix/Linux/Solaris) looks at your final grade (A+) and says that he needs to cut back the amount of extra credit he gives out in the class.
11) Your mother nearly has a traffic accident because she is laughing so hard after you pronounce lingerie "lingeree" (as in "to linger" with two e's on the end).
12) You have made your mother, father, and extended relatives laugh because of similiar mispronunciations.
13) Your grandfather asks you "how's your seat", but you hear "how's your C" - and immediately beginning humming a high C with perfect pitch. After 2 minutes of confusion, you have the entire car in hysterics and your grandfather is having trouble staying on the road.
14) You learned grammar by reading the "What's Wrong With This Sentence" context menu option on the little green squiggly lines generated by Microsoft Word 2000's Spell Checker, every single time.

Hope that lightens your day.

If you want to run out and go see Star Wars episode III, but can't stand the thought of being crowded by all those people.

...The first thing that you notice about a car is not the flashy (or not so flashy) color, size, body style, allure, etc, but its license plate.

...The first thing that you notice about a house is not its color, size, architectural style, curb appeal, etc, but its address number.

...The first thing that you notice about a banknote is not its denomination, color, design, etc, but its serial number.
