You Might be an Aspie if...

Wait... I was just about to take that literally (actually I did at first). Or wait... DID you mean it literally.
Oh s**t!, now look what you've done!, now I can't sleep tonight.


Lol, of course. I still don't get why everyone can't do this...

What? I just agreed about the "...If you consider a lack of response to your ideas a greater insult than a logically debated attack on them and don't understand why everyone else thinks it works the other way around."

What did I say that threw off your sleep schedule for the night? Please enlighten me.

Transforming the quote for your understanding: "If you consider the lack of response to your ideas a greater insult then a argument and don't understand why everyone else thinks it works the other way around"No logically debated attack on that one... just a lack of response.

By the way, I think the reason why most people think it works the other way around is because most of them seem to "identify" with "their" arguments? Any attack on their argument is a attack on them? Even more strange: Agreeing with them using the same arguments can sometimes lead to conflict, as if you trespassed upon their turf. (I see that more now I'm older).

I never feel that I "own" the arguments I use? The whole concept is alien to me? I don't even have a position in most discussions, I prefer to exhaust positions and arguments to understand the whole scope and depth of the situation, the logic behind it, rather then defend one singular position from the start. What good does that do? NT's are weird people.

So..you were makin' a funny?

No, YOU made a joke by the double/hidden meaning of what you said. (Unintentionally it seems, don't worry I have that too often enough to notice).

ah, ok.

funny you should mention that....reason being one thing I tell people about how to become successful in life--not to mention a lot better informed--is to ask two simple questions: "how", and "why". From where I stand, it appears most folks (i.e. most NTs) just seem to accept things verbatim. I don't do that...and you don't become successful in this world by just accepting what's common belief. Those who became famous & successful were the ones who challenged what was common belief, and came up with amazing new innovations in wake of those beliefs.

In fact, here's a funny one:

first of all, I'm no longer into politics, pretty much at all; I like a few of our past presidents, and know what happened under several administrations, but that's about it. I don't follow politics anymore, or anything like that...and might I add, I'm a lot happier.

But anyway, it seems the majority of political parties in this world manage to suck everyone in due to their desire to "matter" and "be important", as I've discussed in another thread. And what better way to get them to feel like they "matter" than helping the poor? So, every side engages in usually a half-assed argument about how we should do this or that to help the poor.

Well, here's my ultimate question: why should we help the poor? Can't they do anything for themselves? Most of the richest and most successful people in this world started out in miserable poverty, but because of it had a major desire to leave those straits, and succeeded later on in ways most could never even imagine.

I assure you...if you bring this question up to any NT, they'll just slam you for "not being sensitive", or something like that. The whole thing is really a guilt angle, but NTs just want to "matter" so badly, that they'll do anything to say "I matter"...even if they haven't done a freakin' thing other than electing some sleazy politican to represent them( who, in most cases, ironically, usually does).

But most of the innovations that we bring up are in areas of technology, and better ways of doing business, and things like that. And all you have to say to people is "money", and they jump in like rabid dogs...though it'd usually be better if they understood the mechanics behind how to make the currency

You take your mother completely literally when she tells you to get a job and move out during an argument, sit in your room and decide what you're going to do for a living and where you're going to go...and you come down...and she says 'I didn't actually mean I wanted you to go and live somewhere else.'

Funny, TheSpecialKid.

YMBAAI: You were reading this thread sequentially down in one sitting but then had to solve FreeCell #169.

Oooooohhhh.. now I get it...
Whoops..

I thought you answered "No argument on that one." to Seraphim's answer, and then I couldn't understand if you were being sarcastic or you were being evil.
Lol... sorry..

Anyway, It looks like some of you got a 3. funny meaning out of it.

You might be an Aspie if...

You think everyone should be an Aspie as our "way" makes more sense!

you might be an aspie if while taking a lifesaving swimming course you read and memorise the textbook so well that the instructor tells you to shut up and give other ppl a chance to answer

You might be an aspie if you re-post this on another site and make grammatical and punctuation corrections to give it a cleaner appearance.

LMAO, I loved this one. No one even caught on that I was having sight problems until 5th grade when I had to ask where the door was in this one store. The front was all glass and the door was just an open space, but I couldn't tell where it was and almost walked into the window part twice before someone who worked there noticed. I was SO embarassed.

You might be an aspie if something equally frustrating has happened and the only reason you could ask someone a question is because you were so frustrated that you actually blurted the question out (just asking yourself aloud actually) and someone just happened to be close enough to hear, thought you were talking to them, and answered.



Double points if this made you both laugh and feel relieved that you weren't the only one.

Triple points if the entire no comment vs. arguing being insult both made sense and made you think of the fact that only aspies would take a sarcastic remark and turn it into an entire post page of making sure we were all on the same page with who was being sarcastic about what.

I love this place!

They put you in a sports session with intellectually disabled kids, and the gym teacher shouts: “Catch, you egg!”

You get 10/10 for your arithmetic test and the teacher gives you 0 for the test because the work was untidy and full of blots and scratchings.
