You might be an aspie if were a little kid and didnt know how other kids could have imaginary friends and think they were real.
Ditto.
On a related note.. You might be an aspie if as a first grader, you went around telling all your peers that Santa Claus isn't real. And when they argued, you asked them to explain how he could visit every house in the world on a single night, fit down a chimney, bring presents to houses without chimneys, and so on. And then you wondered why your classmates got so upset.

If, at your sixth grade graduation, you didn't go in the room where refreshments where being served because they said it was for the students and their parents and since your parent didn't show up, you thought you weren't allow to go in because........it was for the students and their parents.
(True story )
Then you stayed in your classroom all by yourself since everyone else was getting refreshments and some students were leaving early and going out to celebrate with their parents and friends.

You might be an aspie if you have heard a billion times that you have to be on drugs to understand Pink Floyd: The Wall, but you watched the movie and understood it very well while dead sober.
Nope, but I kind of act perpetually drugged, for example hyper and high, drunk and mean, stoned and tired. I don't think it's the Zyprexa. I'm just effervescently weird.
You might be an aspie if... you go to the dentist for a cleaning and they take x-rays first. The weight of the lead vest they put on you feels so good, you consider asking if you can keep it on for the rest of the appointment.

I love those lead aprons. When I was repairing equipment in hospitals I would fantasize about being able to take a nap on the xray table under the lead aprons.
... this is one of the first threads you've read on the forum and it made you laugh and cry because you're so relieved to be around people who are like you in a medium that suits you.

Soooooooo jealous! Close at midnight here and it's a college town, it's busy even late.
I grocery shop between 2-5 am. It's much nicer in there then. Although sometimes you need to find the checkout person- the self-scans aren't open at night. It's a trade off I feel is worth it most of the time.
When I go during other times it's always the self-scanner.
You have drawn up plans for a 'com-commode' - a commode enabling you to sit at your PC for many hours without a break. It's linked up to the drainage system for optimum comfort and hygene.
Your teacher gave you a 'B' grade for an assignment as he thought you had made the content up because he had never encountered the topic before.
You have the following in your bedroom: stash of dried fruit/ nuts, other non-perishable snacks; kettle or tea pot - both within arm's length of your workstation.
You select footwear on the basis of how suitable it would be for certain characters from Greek or Roman Mythology.
