You Might be an Aspie if...

YMBAAI: You never step in dog-doo.

Like petrified of inanimate objects that look strange and have nightmares about them:

Brackets which held the old style bed together

Strange looking bits of non functional metallic objects

Certain types of skulls (very particular), yet human skulls are fine

Snail trails

The lift chain assembly on an elevator

A hopper in a factory

(I have got over most of these now, but as a kid, I was terrified of all of these, just to look at them!)

... when the teacher is talking, you're doing something else, and then said teacher pointedly asks you to, "Repeat what I have just said." You take a minute (or twenty seconds), think, and then repeat verbatim the teacher's lecture for the last five minutes.

I was never asked to "Repeat" anything, after that.

you might be an aspie if...


"...your awesome!! !!"

"...your me!! !"

( dont know if either of these are already mentioned yet? xD)

Actually as a kid, I was freaked out by human skulls; love 'em now. I was also freaked out by taxidermy...most specifically game heads. At the same time, I was totally fascinated by them.

In fact, at the County Bear Jamboree in WDW, there are three game heads there: a North American buffalo( AKA bison), a moose, and a reindeer..named Buff, Melvin, and Max respectively.

I was freaked out--but fascinated by these three--since I first saw them at age 4. When I thought of WDW, the thought partially freaked me out, as for some reason those three consumed my thoughts all the time...I'd picture a picture-perfect shot of the magic kingdom....with those three at the top of the shot.

Years later, I'm a massive fan of the CBJ...and they're my three favorite characters

It happened to me in my Latin class. I was a Latin geek, and the only student left as all the rest wimped out on French.

My teacher said that I hadn’t heard a word of what she said, and of course, I repeated everything verbatim. About two paragraphs of it. I was never again accused by her of not listening.

you may be an aspie if:

if you grazed your front yard like a cow...just to see what is was like from the cow's point of view

if you spell so bad that spell check gives up

if you refer to your family as "humans....sigh...."

if it takes 3 years to learn multipication and 2 weeks to learn every dinosaurs' name how to pronouce it and all the latest factual info about them

if your idea of marrage...is your own room and your own bed.

if you are 32 and still have a driver's permit

if you anaylize the people around you as if they were anouther species instead of interacting with them

if your high school nickname was "the chick from mars"

if you thought you were hatched by an egg and dropped off on the doorsteps by polkagypsies

Mine was always aliens. (I'm still waiting for them to pick me up.)

If you were ever accused of falling asleep in class (and were, in fact, 90% asleep), but when asked a question you woke up, and not only remembered the question, but answered it correctly. I got the most bewildered looks from the teacher when I did this.

You Might Be Aspie If:

You were thinking about whether it should be "An Aspie" or "Aspie" because it should be an adjective not a noun, but you weren't sure if "An Aspie" really was a noun, or whether it was still an adjective, and "person" was implied, so you tried to look it up, but then you thought about the dog you used to have, who was a German Shepherd and then the whole concept of grammar started to melt.

I would correct teachers all the time. Yeah, they didn't care too much for that.

You might be an aspie if you throw a raging Tourette's fit when someone eats your leftovers without asking.

Einstein and Mr. Spok are your heroes.

You don't give up on chasing a certain girl.

History channel is the coolest channel.

You slip as many movie quotes as you can into your normal speech.

Your cell phone exists for the sole purpose of letting you contact your mother from anywhere.

Your best friend in high school was your teacher.

You wonder how the heck no one understands what you're talking about when you are talking about an intellectual subject.

You have engineers in your family history. My grandfather was an engineer and his dad was an engineer.

You understood the material in class, but your grades are poor because of organization.

...you have a high IQ but a low GPA.

...you come across an interesting person (opposite sex, mainly) and obsess over them by default, thinking "maybe she's the one"...

That is so me.
