YMBAAI you remotely access the ~45 servers you maintain by IP address rather than by name.

YMBAAI if someone asks you for a phone number you've typed once but have never called, and you can tell them the number because you happen to remember it from when you typed it.

YMBAAI you point out any aspie signs/symptoms displayed by yourself, your partner, your family and your friends.

Oh yes, it is even worse when someone has a 16:9 TV receiving a 4:3 signal and their TV is set-up to stretch it out to 16:9.


OHHHH GOD do I ever hate that! And of course when you see a TV set up like that, it's a pretty safe bet that their progressive-scan/component output DVD player is rigged up to go through the VCR, which connects to the TV via a coax cable.

I fixed a friend's 16:9 TV so it wouldn't stretch 4:3 programming. I thought he'd be appreciative of the fact that it no longer turned everything into a distorted mess. Instead he made me switch it back because he wanted to see the whole 52" screen filled out, regardless of how bad it looks.

He also once asked me to set up his 5.1 surround sound system, which I gladly did because I enjoy that kind of stuff. I got the speakers positioned and aimed PERFECTLY-- precisely the same distance between the left & right fronts / left & right rears when sitting in the center of the couch, every parameter on the receiver was tweaked, I adjusted the speaker output levels to make it reproduce surround sound as faithfully as possible, etc. It sounded SO nice.

He walked in, and immediately hated it because you could see the speakers. Then he complained that he couldn't hear anything out of the surround speakers. I tried to explain that they're for ambience and you're not really supposed to notice them in most cases, but he insisted on cranking them up and enabling one of those stupid "concert hall" DSP modes so they're always blaring. He ended up moving the speakers so they're more hidden, even though that means the left rear speaker is about 2 feet behind the front, whereas the right rear is about 15 feet away. Needless to say, it sounds like crap now.



LOL We think alike. :D One of my(few) friends has a 46"? projection HDTV and he still has basic cable running to it...He thinks because he has an HDTV that he automatically gets High-Def. I think all most people care about is if the picture is bigger or not. A couple mothes ago, I was over at my now ex-girlfriends house, and "just had to" adjust the color and black levels on her computer monitor. I asked her if it looked better, and she said she didn't notice much of a difference.

You might be aspie if you count the number of sips you take every time you drink, and try to make sure that they're prime? Lol I can't actually stop myself now.

I read several of them and bookmarked it for later!



Um... you might be an aspie if your mouse pointer counts off the time it takes your computer to load pages by the half second (and you sit there and count along with it!).

Double post, but...

You might be an aspie if you've lived alone for seven years and you are no more organized or mature than you were when you left your parent's house!

YMBAAI you are annoyed when people don't answer your emails within an hour.
...you actually said to one of your friends "if you had GTalk, I wouldn't have to go all the way to your house and forget what I wanted to say to you". Bonus points if s/he lives in the next block of flats.

You might be married to an aspie if you have to say, "Would you go to the store for me on the way home," because asking, "Do you want to go to the store for me on the way home?" isn't logically acceptable since the answer will always be NO! lol

And you know you're an aspie when you find tremendous relief in this forum because people don't speak net slang (i.e. I M SO KEWL, WUTZ UR FAV PLC 2 EAT?) *shudder*

True. But OCD can be comorbid with AS.

YMBAAI

1.You organize all your meal possibilites into an Excel spreadsheet.

2.Come mealtime, you use a random number generator to pic what meal you eat, so as to avoid personal bias and imbalance.

3.You feel rather guilty if you stray and eat "whatever you feel like"

...if anytime somebody says, "Let me get your phone number and I'll give you a call," you're absolutely sure you'll never hear from them, and you're always right.
