i was the same way until i took a college course in symbolic logic. that straightened it out for me.

You feel like running, fast, when the toilet flushes in a public restroom.

You may be Autistic if you connect to fictional characters so much, and see traits of them in yourself. To the point of how much you and your obsession character(s) have in common is scary and Twilight Zone-esque.

You know everything about famous Olympic marathon runners, but have never actually run a marathon yourself because you believe you lack the physical stamina for an event of that distance. (This may be changing because of my participation in tennis. I find my stamina rapidly improving, but in no way do I think I could attempt to run a marathon).

I am used to doing that with model trains... Creating a new world which was similar to the actual world but my little train company is a model of something which never existed.

I hate public toilets! At my University I go to specific stalls in each bathroom because I have figured out what toilets flush the most quiet. Hahaha

They sound like thunder!

One of the strangest flushing sounds I ever heard was a sound similar to a cat meowing. That was actually humorous. They have fixed the toilets now at the Rec and Parks buildings and they now sound normal.

You looked up a movie you saw about the Athens, 1896 Olympics made 35 years ago-and still enjoy it!

You watch videos of vintage Olympic Games competitions from the 1950s and 1960s-and you were born the year the Olympic Games first occurred in Tokyo. (1964)

I was often doing that, especially when delving into the depths of model railway sites. AI would mzke comments and ask questions and others would also make comments and then someone would say "Hang on... This thread goes back to 2006 or something like that and the origional person who posted it has not be on since 2008... "

Loud motorcycles upset you greatly

You seem to get secretly upset when men don't have all their buttons done up on their shirt, especially if it's a sports shirt

You hate the word "adult" for some reason, you prefer to be called a "grown-up"

It's a beautiful sunny Saturday but you've stayed indoors all day because you know everywhere will be packed out with people

You could do with living in the countryside like here. 10 cars a day down this lane is almost busy!
