You Might be an Aspie if...

I drive myself crazy sometimes.

You might be an Aspie if:

*You can spot the most subtle of continuity errors in a TV show, but frequently fail to notice the dial on the toaster has been set to maximum until the smoke alarm goes off.

*You compose a text message in perfect English, then have to do a second run through to translate it into txt speak to avoid looking unusual before you send it.

hahaha,that statement hit me! My bestfriend (was) is my math coach..

YMBAI: You remember how to make TNT from something you read in passing ten years ago, but have to read the recipe for for Boiling Water several times before getting it right.

Screw the run-through. I can't stand chat lingo. I text everything in proper English. By changing 'you' to 'u' saves you, what, one second of time? And when I see 'ur' I don't hear in my head 'your' or 'you're'. What a bunch of tommyrot.

You might be an Aspie if you easily notice spelling or grammar mistakes.

You are determined to read every post on this thread, and stay up late to do so.

Your room is so messy that the National Guard has to search for people who are lost in the mess.

Too true

... you hear the cricket in your yard and think, "You know you're an Aspie if you want to capture that cricket, bring it back to your laboratory, and dissect it, just to shut it up."

But, thinking practically, I simply shut the window (even though we're in the middle of a heatwave).

You put on your brown pants if you're about to talk to a girl.

...but have bad spelling youself.

True for me atleast

What IS the shiny stuff? I don't carry shiny stuff on me...

YMBAAI you were totally excited when they found out how to make a dinosaur from a chicken embryo. It costs 5,000,000 US dollars to make a dinosaur but they've only managed to make one and really messed up. It died before it hatched because the technology is so new and 'crude' so to speak... So I bought an advanced boilogy book on chickens and borrowed an archeology book on theropods and other strains of dinosaurs to see future dinosaur pets I could have. Now where's that 5,000,000 dollars I had laying around?

if you can go from being goofy to soulfully introspective back to goofy and give everyone around you emotional whiplash

if you can figure out a concept for a wind energy hybrid car....and cant figure out that if you touch a pan straight out of the oven...it is going to be hot...no matter how many times you burned yourself. been there done that...again and again

you learned humor from the 3 stooges and when you imitate them...ur mom things you are becoming self injurious

if you identify with the native american heyoke (sacred clown)...look it up really facinating....just think if we were native american before columbus ....we would be holy people!

if you think I use too many (......)'s

True. Either that, or...
Your room is so clean that if you wash the entire floor with a white cloth, it'll still be perfectly white.

as I am reading through the entire website from beginning to end discovering others have the same 'mental agenda' template, this is the post that strikes me the most.

I'm in australia, we've just got those automatic cashiers here and I can't tell you how seriously relieved I was. I was the first one to immediately master them which was great because for ages I was the only one in the line. sometimes they malfunction though and the attendant comes over

Even more relieved than after giving up the dread of speaking to the neighbours because if I'm wierd well they'll have to get used to it.


You might be an aspie if.. all of your close personal relationships involve electronic-only communication because you need that much distance to piece it together..

Exactly and especially in romantic relationships where people think you're putting special effort into texting nicely when really you're just being normal.


YCBAAI ... you get sick of having to continously adjust your vocabulary, sentence structure and length, speaking pace and facial expression just so that other people can follow what you are saying
