Aspie = Success

I can't be with people for long periods of time

I have an extremely sensitive ear

I sneeze in bright sunlight
Aspie = success

I say inappropriate things all the time
Aspie = success

I am uncomfortable socialising with people I don't know well
Aspie = success

My aspie is very good at editing legal appeals because he is precise and very logical.

I can't dance.

I just finished my first year of university without making a single friend.

I count the grocery store as social interaction.

I have very sensitive skin.

I can hear what others can't.

I never wear makeup.

I don't know how to enter a conversation, or continue it once I've started.

Aspie=success.

I have a very hard time making friends.
I go out of my way to avoid crowds, loud noises, and humidity.
I tend to bump into things.
I'm generally oblivious to other people's emotions.
I prefer being by myself.
I don't know how to start, continue, or end a conversation.
I flap my hands when I'm excited or overstimulated.

Aspie = SUCCESS.

I met an woman in class earlier this year who is:
-on the spectrum
-single
-attractive
-funny
-my own age
-shares many of my opinions
-was a web programmer
-is going back to school to be a mathematician
-is interested in what I have to say
-but was seated too far away from the original seat I took on the first day of class -- and I just could not sit anywhere else but that seat.

Aspie = success :(


-....and I keep meeting her in the library when I'm studying
-but I can't talk to her since I'm so nervous about messing everything up from before.

Aspie = double success :evil: :x :cry:
