If some one wanted to be in a relationship with somebody like you would have less respect for them if they rejected you for a call for a relationship you would respect them !

When you think you're doing well in general, but then you do something stupid and mess it up.

Many autistic people can write well.....sometimes, they can even write TOO well LOL

How can one tell one's autistic by merely a written presentation?

You have spent the last 4 months reading (excessively) about autism and you still want to learn more.

My monitor keeps giving of 4 hours warnings that the display has been on too long and I keep dismissing them because I haven't learned everything there is too learn yet :)

People are agreeing how great that list linked at the beginning is, and the link is broken. :(

I used to watch the defrag squares on the old computer. But my computer now doesn't do that.

And if I mention real life, I have to specify "irl friends."
And I go to an irl prayer meeting and keep mentioning my friends by their usernames, so we end up praying for people like "Bionic Goat" and "Capitalist Pig."

At my small-town theater (before it closed), I could go in and try several different seats before finding the one I liked. And I like sitting slightly to the left of whatever I'm looking at, because I naturally look slightly to my right.

funny enough I had to look into it myself. None of my psychiatrists when I was younger even brought it up. When I brought up to one he said "yea thats very possible." I sat there looking at him thinking "ok can I have your job now?"

:D

I asked my diagnosed brother whether, if I decide to go for diagnosis, I should try to convince the professional that I do have it or that I don't. He replied that I should try to figure out whether the professional has it.

That gave me a kindly laugh.
And yes the person who did my assessment is on the spectrum themselves, which probably made it easier for them to spot my profile in the face to face interview, and make a good gues from the twenty odd pages of notes I sent iun advance :)

When the toast has burned
And all the milk has turned
And Captain Crunch is waving farewell
When the Big One finds you
May this song remind you that
They don't serve breakfast in hell

Seen them Live.

You simultaneously desperately want friends AND desperately don't want friends.

Similarly, you simultaneously are excessively clingy AND excessively aloof.
