You Might be an Aspie if...

im an aspie adhder and have regular autsims and just went through the list going yes yes yes yes yes lol

You apreciate the sentiment when your band director gives you the end-of-year instrumental music award even though you are a senior who transfered in from another high school, but the awards ceremony is more draining than hauling sousaphones.

You've never read a novel longer than 50 pages but have read and constantly reread 500 page physics books.

...you overhear two people talking about the Munchkins from the Wizard of Oz. One says, "I thought they were all played by the same guy." And you're powerless. Intervention is inevitable. And you cry out, "that's the new Willy Wonka movie!" It's as if you're just watching it happen at this point. So you pull the cord and get off the bus at the next stop, or sooner if you could just pry the door open. The next bus will come along in about 15 minutes.

YMBAA if:

...When your colleagues are discussing sexual orientation, you blankly say, "What, it's all just skin, is there really that much difference?"

...You not only knew your school librarian better than most of your classmates, but every member of the library staff had your check-out pin committed to memory and would ask after your health if you didn't come to check out a book every day.

...Can work with people for months--if not years--without learning their names.

...Do not see the problem with referring to coworkers by the nicknames you've given them in place of learning their names. Is there a problem, Annoying Girl On Cell Phone?

...Have to duck away from people who think you're just a few hugs away from liking to be touched.

...Have to explain to girls that, no, you aren't trying to steal their boyfriends, just something really interesting happened on the show you both like and you need to explain your in-depth theory what will happen at the end of the season.

...Can't get through a show/movie without going to look up the actor that you know, but aren't sure from where, which will lead to you looking up every actor in the show/movie before the film is over.

Hi, the first post is also the story of my life !
I've just discovered I am an aspie 1 hour ago.

So, you might be an aspie if :
- someone seems to like you and you avoid this person

- while discussing with someone, you MUST say what you're thinking even if it has nothing to do with the conversation

- you never phone anybody, even if it seems to be normal to do so

- you're fond of economics, philosophy, politics, books, you'd like to be able to read 50 hours a day and learn EVERYTHING about maths, chemistry, foreign languages, etc. And people around you think you're abnormal... weird, eh !

- when you were a kid, while other people played football, you were alone reading or doing maths.

- you often have the impression to speak to walls when speaking to human beings. You speak about AMAZING STUFF, such as the books you've read this week, but nobody care and you can't notice it.

- you have the feeling that the way you walk and move is weird and that everybody think you're clumsy. Well guess what, you are.


Waow, I could go on and on...

EDIT : Oh, one last thing that I haven't read anywhere so I don't know if it has anything to do with being an Aspie or not but...

- You remember things that nobody else remember. While talking, you may say : "Hey remember 1 year ago, you told me that.....", and it seems perfectly normal to you that you remember exactly that specific thing, but it's not because it was a trivial thing. Or you may speak about very small details that you've seen 2 years ago, and speak about it as if everybody remembered it !

YMBAAI:

You can remember details of your past all the way back to infancy... but you cant put them in chronological order.

YMBAAI:

Your most frequented website for the past four years has been the same one, WP.
