I was nickname "Scientific Nerd" in junior high. Someone started that name for me because I was talking about how my calculator was a scientific calculator. Then a bunch of other people started calling me that.

I got the nickname 'Aspiechu'. The name came about because Pikachu is my favorite pokemon and, well, I'm an aspie. So my friend, Felix, combined them into one word and now calls me by it.

OK, let me explain something:

1. Sandslash
2. Raichu
3. Articuno
4. Rapidash
40. Pikachu.

Thank you.

I don't get what you are trying to explain here. Is it a list? A stab at my statement about Pikachu being my favorite pokemon? An opinion?

More like the last one with a bit of joke thrown in. Basically, I'm saying that Sandslash > Pikachu.

Buuuut... it's all opinion anyway.

Yes, it is an opinion and I have nothing against it.

"Smiley" because apparently I seem too serious.

There is a guy who works at Job Corps who calls me "No Touch." ...He's not very creative.

I've been called a human dictionary or computer, too.

My nickname in high school was "schone slaper" (sleeping beauty), not because of my appearance but because I slept through most of my classes and was always half-awake during recess. Not really AS-related, unless you count not being challenged by the school's teaching methods as being part of AS.

A few guys also called me The Don for a while because I have a tendency to raise my eyebrow when someone's saying something that I find completely ridiculous and someone said it made me give off a "maffia" vibe or something.

Nicknames are stupid anyway.

Ha! I used to be called Smiley at one of my previous workplaces too, but it was because I walked around with a constant cheesy grin on my face. It was a defence; after all, how can someone be mean or think badly of someone who is always smiling?! I also got "The Professor" for a while.

As I was (and still am I guess ) a bit nerd because of some of my AS traits I have gotten nicknames like "Sarah Squara" and "Sarapedia". One friend always asks me how my "arseburgers" is and my partner, if I do something he considers to be very aspie-ish, will say "I see your arseburgers is playing up today"

Well, I got insulted a lot for being a 'weirdo'....but so far as neutral or complimentary nicknames go....there were (and are) the standards, 'walking encyclopaedia', 'trivia queen', 'professor'...I was called 'New York' as a kid, for my obsession with NY (obviously), 'granny' for the way I dressed and would constantly tell people I was meant to have been born 60 years before I was, and 'kewpie doll' (mostly by my mum, but also by other adults) for having such big eyes and always looking down and to the side like a kewpie doll.

Haha....forgot about that, I got that one as well. A friend of mine also took to calling me 'Bubbles' for my well....less than bubbly demeanour. :lol:

oh yeah..here are some I forgot...
Dyke...(for my androgynous dress..up thru Jr. High)...someone had to explain to me what a Dyke was...
Typical "Nerd"...it was more chanted at me than an actual nickname

Pee Girl....because I mistakenly admitted to a peer in the 3rd grade that I still wet the bed

Fish....because in a 5th grade spelling bee in the "test round"...instead of spelling out the word, I just stood up and repeated it and sat down again....(big laff riot)

Beetlejuice...Forget exactly why..

Little Wednesday....in my late teens and early 20's..mostly by peers of my band....because I was small with long dark hair and a pasty deadpan face...a dress I frequently wore on stage looked a lot like the Wednesday Adams dress....but it was unintentional...though I did love the Adams Family and one of my favorite shirts I wore all the time featured Morticia sitting in the fan-backed chair cutting roses off the stems.

Another one I forgot, oddly, since people still say this....Wednesday, Morticia, and Emily Strange....and occasionally 'Emily Strange's Mother'....since I've had black hair, because....well...I guess I sometimes resemble these people, and often wear a similar facial expression (or lack thereof).
