You Might be an Aspie if...

When I was little, I accidentally tore the tag off my great-great grandmother's hassock. After begging her to fix it when I read the warning, she took a piece of tape and put it back on.

I too should confess...

A teacher once told me "If you're not going to do anything, you might as well get out of here!" When I met up with the class again during the lunch-break, they were all laughing. Teach reported me as absent!

... if when you play freecell, you have to stack the ace of hearts, then diamonds, spades, clubs.-or that backwards.

... if you get obsessed with tiny parts of a song and have to replay them again and again.

...if you have to have all the information for every song you know, with capital letters

....if, when using a friends ipod, you go on their computer and put the correct names in for all their songs and albums

That's good advice. I removed the tag off my sofa once (the tag that said it was fire resistant) and then when I moved and wanted to get rid of the sofa; nobody would buy it off me, I couldn't even give it to charity as they couldn't accept sofas that didn't have the fire resistance tag on them.

You might be an aspie if you collect train timetables from the local station.
You might be an aspie if your favourite books are your textbooks.
You might be an aspie if you take 6 complete years to learn how to play tennis.
You might be an aspie if you have to put cotton wool in your ears at school.
You might be an aspie if you walk with a strange stance.
You might be an aspie if you connect everything to a formula.
You might be an aspie if you know the powers of 2 off by heart to 2 ^ 36.

.. If you have been reading this forum for weeks before posting because although it is about fellow aspies, you're scared to post because you think the members will think you weird and not like you.

... you've found that the easiest way to avoid a speeding ticket is to memorize the speed limits of every street in your city.

... you became a baseball fan because of all the neat statistics.

... you can explain what a "p/e ratio" is, even though you don't own any stocks.

... at least three former bosses have wondered aloud why you can't just go along and get along.

... you believe those three ex-bosses have a combined IQ of about 45.

"... you can explain what a "p/e ratio" is, even though you don't own any stocks." That's me
"... you believe those three ex-bosses have a combined IQ of about 45." You believe you
may have to testify against them years later. Almost happened to me. Fortunately the defendants
made a plea bargain, so I was not subpoenaed.

...You know where all the dangerous intersections are and avoid them, even if it adds miles
and time to your commute.

...If you hate the word textbook because all books have text in them, that is their whole point; their raison d'etre, so why differentiate a book by adding the qualifier 'text'?

I tend to remember more digits of 2pi then pi as it is more fundamental and crops up more in calculations and whatnot.

If you read Forbes magazine from cover to cover. I can relate to the post about P/E ratios, even though I don't currently own any stocks.

...If after finding out about a person's interests, you try and find some material on it so you can try and make conversation with them next time you see them.

You might be an aspie if . . . after school/work you create a schedule for yourself.

Ah yes here we are post#1163
Prime Curios page had no information, so I did a little digging around and played around with a few digit permutations
to see if I can find anything interesting:

1361=Prime
6311=Prime
6131=Prime
6113=Prime
3611=23X157
3161=29X109
1631=7X233

1163+68=1231
See at post#1231

By the way this is the 1223rd reply on this thread, 1223 is a Prime. Coincidence?

I'm afraid you were wrong. It was the 1224th post.

PS. And cheating, by changing "post" to "reply"... I ask you... is that fair!
