You Might be an Aspie if...

Its certainly woken me up. I wondered what the heck was thumping. Got up to check the house.

You analyze every little detail of everything and people get irritated by it.

When Joannie Rochette skated after her mother died you were moved, but didn't understand why they called her brave. I could have done that. We should continue to live our lives.

You hate it when someone ask what you are thinking because you usually don't have an answer even though you were thinking. And you don't want to tell them what you were thinking about. And sometimes you can't really say.

You enter a reply in the topic because for some reason it stopped notifying me when a reply was posted and checking the box didn't work.

That rings a bell. One afternoon at university I got asked to say grace before a dinner in hall that evening. The grace is long, about five sentences, and in Latin, though you get to read it off a card. I was so nervous at the idea that I memorised it, obviously. But, equally obviously, by dinner time I was way too stressed out to turn up and do this, and I suppose someone else did it though I never found out. But that was in 1981, and I still know it now - though I could no more say it aloud to a hundred people now than I could then.

Thought of another one today.

... you've had the same secretary since 1995, went to her wedding, know her children's birthdays, and just found out today she has blue eyes.

if you read all 157 pages of replies to this post in one go, are surprised that you've got to the end so quickly and are sad that there isn't more to read!

Ah yes this sounds like me. I made a friend about 2 years ago (still friends now) and it took 1 year or just under to find out his eye colour, I really wanted to know so I forced myslelf to concentrate on them and they are infact blue I can now confirm.

if u ever.... thought what to say for 5 min. and came up with hi
if u ever....couldn't call a friend that wanted you to
if u ever....couldn't remember when you started talking or who even cares
if u ever....stood in a corner all night at a party by yourself and thought it was fun
if u ever....ran the perfect mate out the door
if u ever....couldn't remember when you started blankly staring at nothing
if u ever....spent over a hour to find that noise

That applies to me.

. . . if you can't stop yourself from watching a commercial that just came on in the middle of an interesting conversation, even though there was something important you were going to say

. . . if you would rather watch the clouds with a purring cat in your lap than get laid

. . . if you'd rather have your wife say "I accept you" than "I love you"

. . . if you've ever been calculating how much time you would save on an 8 hour trip if you went exactly 4.5 miles over the speed limit the entire way even though you aren't planning on going anywhere

. . . if you wake up from an uber-realistic daydream to realize that there is a classroom full of students staring at you and that you're supposed to be giving a speech so that you can pass this stupid speech class

You might be a aspie if, as a kid, you put your shirt on inside out more than 50% of the time.
If you can remember the lyrics to twenty songs by Leadbelly, but none by the current pop sensation.
If your partners and freinds pick our clothes for you.
If you don't believe in the Judeo Christian paradym, but have most of the Bible memorized.
You remember most of the dialogue of the TV shows you watched fourty years ago, but always forget where you put your keys.
You gave up watching TV because you don't want your brain to turn into a garbage heap.

<If you don't believe in the Judeo Christian paradym, but have most of the Bible memorized. >

Laughed when I read this one. My fundamentalist Christian husband and I enjoy numerous debates, which I always win because I have so much of the Bible memorized, which of course he does not, (he is neurotypical). Like most Christians, he has a few favorite verses, and only knows what he has heard from the pulpit of his Protestant evangelical church.

We do laugh about how well I know the Bible, without believing it's tenets.

I do this all the time ! Usually to make the noise stop.

I had my hearing tested this past summer. Turns out I can hear noises at 0dB (normal is 20dB for adults). In addition I cannot tolerate noises about 50dB (normal is 90-100dB).

Who knew the rest of the world just did not hear those noises !

Agreed on all (not exactly leadbelly though does another singer/band count? )
Shirts still go inside out and/or frontside back

... if you walk on the beach with a nice guy, he makes a romantical comment on the beautiful sunset and you start a rant about the physical reasons for sunsets in best Wikipedia-style.

I sometimes say that I know my wife has hazel eyes, and I'm sure most other people have eyes.

If you got to sleep two and a half hours late because there was a mosquito in the room that started buzzing every time you turned out the light, and stopped again when you turned it on. Because there's no way you can sleep with either a buzzing mosquito or the light on, so you have to find it and kill it.
