You Might be an Aspie if...

...you "quit while you are ahead" and give up a happy life for a humble life of purgatory, anxiety and failure!

...You are amused when people say, "Remember the reason for the season." Cause you know that the Christians took over already existing pagan holidays and recast them as Christian holidays.

someone calls you a freak in public

(the context for this was, friday night, town centre, group of lads out drinking, the person who said it might have gone to the same high school as me)

The saying, "Quit while you're ahead," has never made sense to me. It seems to me that people believe they should stop doing something as soon as it becomes pleasurable. WTF?! If it's pleasurable, then CONTINUE! DUH! Make sure there's no more pleasure or benefit to be gained from whatever it is BEFORE you stop doing it. Hello?! Logic!!

Someone asks a person who knows you well, "What's with that guy?" and the person answers "You just have to understand that he is a Wizard."

This explanation was given by a friend at a world-family org reunion party in Marseille, France, in September of 2007; I later found out I was "aspie" in November/December that year, so my friend's impression of me as "a wizard" was an interesting description for AS.

You try to find the formula for what makes people fall in love.

You might be an aspie if you're the only one in American History who seems genuinely interested whereas everybody else is half asleep.

You might be an aspie if you check your spelling and grammar when you post comments on Youtube.

If you photoshop two single screen wallpapers single pixels at a time to make them look better on dual screen setups.

...when you are taking clothes out of boxes at work you look on the label to see which rail to hang them on. A few minutes later when you are ready to hang them you have to look at the box again because you forgot already. Yet when you were given a new longer employee ID number you had it memorized in two days and laughed at someone who was still looking at the piece of paper two weeks later. Yet it took you about a month to stop accidentally typing the old number.

You might be an aspie if you took a video that someone made on youtube that was created by using stop motion because he couldn't play an instrument and you enhanced the audio with your music editor.

BTW this particular youtube user had the audio freely available for download.

You might be an Aspie if;

-At age two or three, you could hum the theme from "Star Trek: The Next Generation" with surprising accuracy, yet you couldn't/wouldn't speak like other toddlers.

-The first movie you ever remember seeing in theaters was "Batman Returns", (I was age two or three at the time.)

-In first grade, you wrote alternative lyrics to "Ride of the Valkyries" by Wagner, (although I credit my parents for this one)

-In third grade while everyone else was playing ball, you were drawing realistic representations of a Proton Pack from "Ghostbusters".

-In the same year, you then also designed a Proton Pack out of a Twizzler box and duct tape, and it was actually somewhat accurate to the movie version.

-Likewise, you knew the librarian better then anybody your age at school.

-You have a long attention span for the most mundane things, yet you can't even get through the first page of a book, (unless it's Harry Potter, no duh.)

-The most basic positive emotions like love and caring completely escape you, yet you are quite proficient with hate, regret, etc., because their the only ones that make sense.

-When someone dosen't see your point of view, they must be an idiot, because you KNOW you're right.

-One of you're worst fears is children with sticky hands.

-Children AND sticky hands are scary things in and of themselves.

-You know where everything is in your room when its a complete mess, yet when it's clean, you can't find the most basic items.

-You feel your Shakespearean counterpart is Hamlet.

-You ever had more then one model of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701 in your room. This could also be any of the other classes, (A, B, C, D, and E,).

-In fact, you were so obsessed with the Enterprise that in seventh grade you had a montage of pictures you printed out on the school printer stapled to your wall, (and all of the same class, E in this case)

-You have so many pictures of the Enterprise on your computer that you're younger brother (with some truth) states that its your alternative porn.

-You can draw every version of the Enterprise, and you do so every Sunday on the church programs they hand out.

-You can actually make an accurate 3-D model of the Enterprise by cutting a note card and folding it.

-You can can do the previous item in under 20 minutes.

You keep trying out different Bible studies because none of them are intellectually challenging.

Your mom knows everything about the Star Wars Expanded Universe because you told her all about it.
