You might be an an aspie if you try to explain dvd formats to your mom and she continues to buy full screen format dvds for her widescreen tv....

You might be an aspie if your collection of collections is crowding you out of your apartment...

...if your statistical formula for simulating NT conversation has a 90% success rate....

...if your favorite TV program is a cartoon...

...if you're still trying to figure out what is interesting about the humans in human interest stories...

This one might be too strange for this string. When I was a child, I assigned a digit to each of the members of my family. My father was 1. My mother was 2. My grandmother was 3. And I was 4. It was obvious to me that this made perfect sense in a descriptive way. No one else seemed to understand.

... when you don't understand why you should 'never wear blue and green, without a colour in between!' (apparently that's unfashionable)

... when you wonder why people ask you to get a haircut, or to change your hairstyle.

... when you can recite Pi to 20 or more decimal places. Same applies for other non-terminating values, such as the golden ratio...

You might be a aspie if that is your primary mode of dress to wear green and blue

(blue shirt, green cargo pants. . . . .they look superfine to me)

Makes sense to me. :wink:

You might be an aspie if your mom, who knows your communication style, asks if you want to get right to the problem at hand or make small talk first. You don't want a confrontation so say small talk.... only to realize you'd rather have a confrontation than talk about the weather....

You know you're an aspie when

... The sound of cows moo-ing can sooth you to sleep.

... You'ld rather sit on the computer for days on end then go around the shops.

... You offer to do the school secetary's filing instead of going to gym.

... You cried for three days when you were younger because someone stole your pencil.

You read scientific american at 10

That is a very painful subject for my Mom. :|

...If you can tell anyone anything they want to know about science, but your brain locks up over a joke about relationships.

I used to know it because it was pasted to about 50 places along the wall in my maths class. It was I just looked at it everyday and eventually remembered it to 29 places. It was a tougher challenge remembering Pi than the actual questions given in class. I can't recite it beyond 7 places anymore, but I could do 29. I couldn't get much further because it became difficult to remember the order of the numbers.

You're an aspie .... if you had fun learning such numbers to so many places... :wink:
