You Might be an Aspie if...

Post Reply New Topic

-Your 8th grade homeroom teacher got so sick of you asking them to discipline everyone that's bullying you (i.e. the entire rest of the school), and so the teacher tells you how "you need to stand up for yourself..."

-You were one of less than 5 percent of the male students in your middle school to not get suspended at some point or another (i.e strict rule adherance), and got the [expletive] pounded out of you every single day as a direct result.

-You've gone to the information desk at Chicago Union Station and pointed out that they had the wrong schedules on the rack. When they asserted the schedule didn't change and the old one was still good, you tell them which station pairs to look up in the computer so they can see that the schedule has indeed changed.

-You overhear a conversation amongst strangers: "Yeah, so there's this guy at work, I think he has something...he came down to Portland a couple months ago, and just rode the entire light rail system. Went out to Gresham, then over to Hillsboro...he's the best programmer ever, but he's so weird, I think he has something..." You don't know whether to laugh or be pissed, and while you're no programmer and don't know who this guy is, you reach into your pocket and feel the Tri-Met all-day pass you used to ride the entire Portland Light Rail System earlier that day.

I know I can think of more, but that's all I can think of now...

I live just north of Milwaukee.

You might be an Aspie if you:

Cut the tags off your clothes because they are too itchy if you leave them on.

Go around in bare feet as often as you can.

Hate constricting clothes.

Are wearing light clothes when other people are all rugged up.

When you realise at 5 years of age that you are smarter than your kindy teacher and also that they hate you because of this.

When you can't understand as a teenager why other girls are so interested in make-up, boys, clothes and being popular as opposed to reading, enjoying nature, and listening to the radio.

When you're older and can't understand why other women are so obsessed about losing weight and getting plastic surgery (or thinking about it)

When you're in a music shop and you're about the only woman there: most of the other patrons are young men.

When people have always considered there was something a bit freaky about you but they never could really put a finger on what it was.

When you can't understand why other women would want to be a domestic slave and put their own needs last at all times.

When you want to be friends with other Aspies even if they are heaps younger than you and of the opposite sex because you find more in common with them than other women around your own age.

When you get really worked up about injustice in the world.

When your emotions are all tangled up and you can't seem to get them straight.

When you get left out of activities in the workplace because someone thinks it is a smart thing to organise other people against you.

When you can never answer a question with just "yes" or "no".

When you have trouble deciding what to order in the cafeteria because the things you'd like most are a bit expensive but the cheaper things are not so nice but then maybe you should save your money....

You are hated by some of your teachers due to your being different.
If your geography teacher tells you the most unusual facts in the thought that you would be amused.

...You were 5 and cried because you got mud on you.

If you put off watching the Simpsons to play onthe computer.

You might be aspie if you have to look down when you descend the stairs.

You might be aspie if you drive all the way to the store and forgot why you went there.

You might be aspie if they know you by name at the video-game store.

You might be aspie if people call you for homework help and your not even in the class.

You might be aspie if a says "take me right now" and you say "where?"

-If, at the age of near-24, just yesterday you finally got why the joke "If I told you you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?" is a joke and have been chuckling since...

If you hate your life after some no-life idiot sends his friends to attack you on Heroes of Kingdoms.

If you can count your EQ score on one hand.

If you annoy your parents by asking them questions about astrophysics which they do not understand.

-If the only reason you ask a question of another person is because, at that moment, you are too lazy to go find out for yourself. (On all other occasions, you insist on doing everything yourself and have no interest in other peoples' answers or opinions-- especially opinions).

-If you have considered too many careers too numerous to mention and have wished you could live a coupled hundred more years just so you could have a chance to do them all, in order to show everyone in each respective field how it should be done.
