I apparently have my grandma's "syndrom" she used to say whenever she would sit down, everyone would get up and go into the other room, it was never intentional but I swear it happens to me too. If this happens to someone else that'd be cool or weird, I haven't decided yet. Also, after you reply maybe you could put a 'does anyone else' question following the reply?:)

Actually, for some reason when my roommate's friends come over it happens a lot. I come into the room, and everyone leaves. They say Aspies are rude, but honestly NTs are far worse.

there could be a lot of reasons. Without either a description of your behaviors - including how often you wash, perfume, shampoo,hairspray, etc, and a picture, its pretty hard to help you understand why this happens.

I moved from a person today. I was creeped out by sitting next to him, but was staying there to be polite. He was filthy and wearing a wifebeater for a shirt. He also had something obviously wrong with him - but then so did everyone else there as I was sitting in the neurologists office :D .

I moved when an old woman who was clearly dressed as white trash walked in. There was one chair left. If I moved I could sit beside a nice clean cut elderly woman. If I stayed where I was, I'd be trapped between him and a 60 year old with very wrinkly skin who thought it was appropriate to show up in a tight high shorts, and an even tighter very lowcut blouse. Being in between them was just too much for me to contemplate

That is true, there are certainly cases like that, but I wash myself and my clothes a lot more than my roommate. My nose is very sensitive, so if I smelled I think I'd catch it (besides, smelling bad is something clsoe to a phobia for me so I'm constantly paranoid about it). I tried to be friendly, introduced myself, and shook everyone's hand upon introduction. So it wasn't that. My NT friend said that they might have left the room so I could sit in my room without being disturbed, but still it just doesn't make sense to me. :(

this is funny because i was about to post a "does anyone else" question myself on another topic. i don't empty rooms i don't think...i might sometimes...maybe i don't notice so much because i'm in my own head too much?

but my anyone else is...
i have to wait until the microwave is on a 0 or 5 before i can open it...i can't make myself open it on say a 7 even if it's boiling over...if it was on fire probably but otherwise it has to be a 5 or 0...i end up pushing the minute button and waiting till it has 20 seconds left when i heat my coffee...the only other time is if i have to leave and the timer beeps but i HATE to let it beep

does anyone else have a weird thing like that?

Some time back that happened to me way to often,
i lived in a house with several other people, after
a while i felt a little alone because we crashed so often,
one time i sat in my bedrom for 5 days on end just
listeningen to the people in the livingroom next door,
i didn`t wanna ruin things for them yet again so i
just sat there trying to be invisble and not making any
sounds, managed 5 days but then i broke and had
to leave the room, felt so lonely and sad i thought i
was gonna snuff it. After that things just got worse and
i moved - one of the most lonely times in my life, i
just drifted around missing someone to talk with,
felt like s**t for months. I liked the people i lived with
but they really hated me i think

Maybe it is that they do not understand us, we often are fairly used to not understanding others but since we do things differently they are not used to it.

Unless it was a very formal situation this would be enough to make me leave. Its a bit unusual to shake someone's hand when meeting casually, the only possible exception is when a close friend is introducing you

Question: What lesson have we learned here?
Answer: Don't ever tell people you're an aspie (unless they're a psychologist).

You've since figured that out, right?

I just have to stop the microwave before it beeps. I always add an extra second on the timer and then stop it when it gets to "1".

I think people misunderstood me. I meant a general "they" not her friends. I apologize for the misunderstanding. I wanted to convey that people say Aspie's are rude, yet NTs do rude things without even blinking. They don't know I'm an Aspie. Bleh, I'd never tell my roommate. She called her cousin ret*d until she figured out he was autistic, then she said she felt she needed to stop. I'd never tell her.

That's strange, because no one has ever acted odd when I've done that before. Oh well. *shrugs*

whoa :) I feel so unalone now that's awesome! I can assure you that my grandma and i don't smell :P I shower daily and i dress "nice". at least, according to my standards i dress nicely :P i'm a bigger person and i don't wear tight clothes and i spray body spray on me once in a while, so it's not really pungent, i even water it down. BUT i do introduce myself and shake my hands in almost all situations and everyone has reacted quite well. I've made some good friends in a festival i was volunteering at, and every year they recognize and know who i am, I even impressed a handful of "bigwigs". But, I only recently learned to be this forward and a few people i have introduced myself to this way have been quite shy and I think they felt a little pushed, I am a forward and overbearing person sometimes and i'm sure people can read this. oh well i guess :P
