YMBAAI...

... you talk about your mother about scheduling
... she would describe the same situation as 'ranting on and on about some weird Linuxy topic on and on!'
... everyone else thinks your computer GUI looks ugly but you need it to be like that! You'd go berserk if someone changes so much as move one window to another desktop.
... you could have killed your English teacher for deciding for a solution which would save you 1.5 hours of idle time each week because it disturbs your routines.
... you need your plush Tuxen in your bed (all 25)
... you're the strange gal at college who everyone knows even though no one wants to have anything to do with you
... these guys do approach you with their computer problems despite being in CS relate subjects and in higher semesters - and you still are able to help

Wow, you must be young. Spam in the can was around for like 60 years before the average person had an email address. It wasn't until the 70s that spam had anything to do with computers

You do your colleague's task for them without asking, because last time they did it you weren't happy with the look (not the content!) of the final draft. This is despite the fact it will upset them and make them feel you're taking over.

...you checked out a book on Algebra from the library because you enjoy doing equations (and you haven't been in school for years).

...you didn't get to do any Algebra last night because you were on WP! :lol:

you might be an Aspie if:

. . . you are sitting in the 'Duke's Seat' (8 rows back, center) in the empty movie theatre and the only other person in the Theatre comes in and sits near you. when questioned states you looked so lonely sitting there'

. . .you are sitting through some turgid 'historical drama' and some line of dialoge hits you just right and you laugh out loud. ONLY you. SEVERAL times.

wow, you call your daughter a b***h?

oh, hey, sorry, it's probably part of the punchline . . .


It is part of the punchline. Neither of my daughters is a b***h. :lol:

There are so many similar kitchen-related things though - particular glasses in particular locations in the cupboard, boxes of cereal in strict descending order of size from right to left, particular plates and spoons. And don't even get me started on people in the kitchen while I'm cooking ...

...you feel that the three periods and you proceeding each line is the only way to do these posts.
...you feel angry when people aren't posting like you are.
...you feel like you want to edit their posts so they do look exactly like this.

That is exactly like me. :lol:


...you separate all the M&M's by color before eating them. And then you eat them one-by-one only in this order: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Brown.

...you get flustered if you run out of Red M&M's when all the other colors are still available to be eaten.


...you always look in every direction other than into a person's eyes.

Nothing makes you angrier than when you are trying to work in the computer lab and deliberately sit in the farthest corner away from the cluster of people in there, only to have the next person walk in and sit down beside you

On the subject of email spam, it was inspired by a Monty Python sketch set in a restaurant that served "Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, and Spam."

Also, you might be an aspie if you played a euphonium in the high school band because no one else wanted to.

Also, you might be an Aspie if you hook up the latest state-of-the-art digital cable or satellite TV receiver and 5.1 surround-sound system to a black-and-white TV.

. . . if you keep an old black and white TV to watch color movies you love, to see how they would have looked like when you were a kid watching the late show.

You're an aspie if....

You walk in an old building and it's all modern and you wonder what the inside used to really look like.

You go in an old building and you want to know the history about it.

You dislike Las Vegas because there is no history to it because they keep tearing down casinos and building new ones.

You think buildings that have more than 13 floors don't have a 13th floor because the elevators skip the number but you know there really is a 13th floor but they just don't call it that. They call it the 14th floor.

...You realise the kid babbling at you for 5 minutes in the supermarket has been sitting at the next desk to you since the start of term... but he's out of uniform.

...You finish volume 17 of the story you're reading and think "now i'll find the missing volume 3 and start again".

...When you finish vol 2...volume 18 is published

...You know the maximum plate current of an 862A

...You hitch a ride with an axe murderer...but he thinks you're too wierd and lets you out.
