You Might be an Aspie if...

You're obsessed with objects that all look exactly alike.

...listening for 5 minutes to someone who don't have any inner life whatsoever makes you only want to retreat in great haste into yours.

YMBAAI...

...you have ever wondered why you have to pay so much more for clothing made out of animal hair when they itch the worst.

...you have ever complained about cashmere being too itchy.

Your an Aspie if...

The first thing you ever happily hugged, was a large rock made of quartz crystals.


Thats how I got the nickname, Diamond Dave.

YMBAAI...

...if you've ever been compared to Rainman for knowing who Icarus was.

...if you go into paroxyms of joy at the thought of a mythology unit in class.

... the only mention of you in your year book was under "Most likely to be the next Bill Gates"
... you were shocked that enough people knew your name to vote for you
... you were notorious for sleeping through every class, and not doing any of the homework, but still getting the highest mark in the class
... you are obessed with databases
... you get bored, so you make a database (and front end of course) to keep track of all your varous collections
... you can remember every thing in those collections anyways, and exactly where it is. But yet if someone were to ask you what movies or music you had, you'd be lucky to come up with two things
... your database you made at work is so efficient, and so user friendly, that you can spend 95% of your time at work browsing the Internet out of sheer boredom
... your bedroom walls are covered with database diagrams
... it bothers you when people don't capitolize the I in Internet
... you smoke pot, not to get high, but rather to dumb yourself down to everyone else's level (when they're not high themselves that is)
... you can draw out the chemical structure of the THC molocule, and describe in complete detail why it gets you high when you smoke it
... you started smoking pot because it was the last thing everyone expected from the computer geek who never talks to anyone
... you jog at night because it drives you nuts that everyone you pass always has to say hi to you. Like seriously, can't you see I'm busy jogging?
... you have no fear of death
... despite the fact that you're in incredibly good shape, have trained steadily under one of the best karate masters of this time, and are smarter than the majority of the people out there, you're terrified of the thought of having one of them say Hi to you.
... you have dedicated the last several years of your life to Karate not because you have any remote interest in fighting, or competition, but rather because it's the only thing that has ever challenged you, and it pisses you off that you still can't do any of the moves to your own level of satisfaction
... you seriously consider quitting your job, selling everything you own, then moving to the mountains where you will spend your life practicing your kata
... you dont at all think the above is at all weird

...you see absolutely nothing wrong with loudly chanting "chewing gum is really gross, chewing gum I the most" whenever someone within hearing distance is chomping their gum.

...your boss gives you a worksheet on "how to improve 'people skills'" and then asks you to fix his computer after you read it.

...if given a chance between reading a book or going to see a movie on opening night, you pick the book.

...if you are so irritated by people asking you "what the most popular paint color" is when deciding how to paint their house, you begin compiling statistics of such information---and then pull out your laptop and give an interesting speech on how the statistical analysis of color popularity means absolutely jack-squat (I love that phrase!) because what looks great in one house looks terrible in another because the actual color of paint on the wall is dependent upon a wide variety of factors, the most important of which is the amount of natural light v. incandescent/halogen/fluorescent light.

...and after the 20 minute lesson you don't understand why everyone is looking at you like you're from a different planet. (And you bet the planet they're thinking of is Mars because that's pretty much the first planet that comes to mind for 86% of the population.)

...if you're told to stop being a smart a** by your coworkers after the customer leaves.

...if you spend your breaks reading very thick books or books in foreign languages.

...if you're on first name basis with every bookstore within driving distance, and if you know the exact location of almost every book on the shelves of the aforementioned bookstores even though you don't work there.

...if you asked your guidance counselor if C++, Basic, or HTML counted as your foreign language requirement, since (a) she didn't know any of them, (b) her boss probably didn't know any of them, and (c) technically, they are languages and would probably be more useful than high school French.

...if fluorescent lights drive you insane.

if you can spot viruses, trojans spyware, adaware and worms that your current up to date antivirus missed,

ifwhen you offer puter help and when finished they ask "do u work for aol, ibm, windows corp or related to bill gates"?.

if teachers come to YOU for advice on things.

if you daydream in boring classes.

if you get along better with the maintenace people then the students in your class at your school.

if you go to church just to look at the archecture.

if your not staring at the building ur asleep in the pew.

if you choose to read a repair manual from your car rather then a novel.

if everyone you know online knows you by first name basis.

if your addicted to google earth just to read the posts.

YMBAAI,

Everytime you get exciting news, your first thought is the post you'll write about it.

If you stand on a chair for no reason.

You can manage to fall over on a statiory exercice bike

You might be an Aspie if:
You liked watching the Test Pattern on television when you were little because you were fascinated by the colours on it and your sisters used to beg you to watch something else...

I used to love the Test Pattern...Except for that tone noise it made.
