You may be an aspie if

a friend tells you "I wish I had a desert eagle on my back" and your first reply is "why would you want a desert bird on your back and since when do eagles have a desert-speciffic genus?"

True story here!

...you always commute to & from work or school by bus and the same bus drivers you see give you the "stink-face" every time you board the bus.

...you are a bicyclist and are the only bicyclist who wears a bicycle helmet every time you ride your bike.

Your friend tells you her first impression if you is she thought you were autistic.
Then you try to think what your first impression was of her but realize it was "person I do not know". Then you realize that is your first impression of everyone.

...you keep yourself so busy with your special interest/obsession that you first have a "Hell, it's almost 3AM!?" moment, tell yourself "Just 10 more minutes and then I'm going to sleep" but in fact it's 5AM when you stop doing what you were doing and get some rest. Alternatively you fall asleep while enjoying your special interest. True story, both happened to me, the latter one is rare though (thanks goodness), I can't stand too many autosaves of one and the same file, that's not really useful if something went awfully wrong and I like to experiment a lot.

... if reading the comments of the last episode of your stupid french soap on Youtube, you find a person writing TANKS ♥ (instead of thanks... remember "french soap" => french people => bad english) AND you can't help answering : "wow it's so uncommon to find people among the Plus Belle la Vie (name of the soap) fans with such a strong love for armoured combat vehicles... ! !!"

I wonder what would happen if this thread was on 4chan...

You start nervously laughing at your mom when she is describing something bad that happened to her and she doesn't seem to notice because you do it all the time. Then you catch yourself doing it, apologize and then fake the correct emotion of empathy.

You walk away confused on exactly how to be "yourself" in that situation.

...if you were told every year that you could be skipped if you could fix your "maturity issues"
...if you stood up in the middle of class and screamed at your 5th grade teacher that it is pronounced FU-JI, not FI-JI. Fuji is the mountain, Fiji is an island.
...if your mother adores your high vocabulary so much that she begs you to speak in "that high language" on a daily basis. Meanwhile, your older sister hates it, and your friends have no idea what you said.
...your friends use you as a reference when filling out the mandatory five vocabulary list for English.
...when you have more of a problem with overwriting than underwriting.
...when you sigh in class because you've already read that book, already learned that event in history, or already knew that "unusual" fact about it.
...you recognize the cars on the roads so well that you can just laugh and say "I saw you yesterday" to all of them.
...when you love snakes, turtles, fish, ferrets, and anything rodentlike a little more than dogs. when you get old, you will also have a pet jellyfish.
...you and your father get off on pointing out all the flaws of a movie and predicting the plot.
...You will avoid an empty cash register just to go to the U-scan. If the store doesn't have a u-scan, you will freak out.
...you read Roots when you were ten in a day. You saw the TV missionaries and were pissed at how much of the book they had cut, such as George's childhood training with the chickens.
...Your parents laugh when you say you will order something new at a restaurant. You really try, but somehow you still end up ordering the pepperoni pizza.
...your mother is always telling you to look up at people. at least she doesn't yell at you about it anymore.
...you pick your clothes first on how they feel, then on the fit, then on the color. Who cares if it's stylish?
...you sit in boring places feeling things like your pants, your cashmere sweater, or the underside of your mother's leather coat and can totally zone out.
...colorblocking and mismatched fashion becoming stylish has made you a style icon at school.
...if it has the numbers 1, 2, 3, 6 in it, you will memorize it forever.
...your parents yell at you for sitting in your room all day playing on the computer.
...if you ask for help you're either in danger of dying or really have no idea what is going on.
...You convince people your crazy so you can just save time.
...You make weird sounds going down the stairs and have to look the whole time.
...You've argued with your Japanese exchange student over the pronunciation of a Japanese word and been proven to be right.
...You have an incredibly long list of quirks that you could go on and on and on and on....strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard....damn it!

When you tend to think like Haruhi or guilty of having her personality! [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbAIxCE_NlI[/youtube]

...you always use a big vocabulary which annoys everyone.

Mother's favorite sentence was "Look people in the face when you talk to them"
You remember being smacked for not looking people in the face when you were little.

You asked if you could have an old wind up alarm clock that wouldn't work any more when you were ten.
You stripped down the clock asked the man next door to resolder a link arm, reassembled the clock which worked just fine and did not understand why your mother threw it in the bin.
