Oh yeah, forgot to add, I have had a similar thing happen to me. I was in school talking to someone new and he randomly asked me if I had Asperger's, safe to say I was surprised by that! Turned out he knew another Aspie and I apparently acted exactly like him! :P

I think most of us who have waited tables have served regular customers who always ordered the same dish, just because he/she loved it, which is why he/she came to your place to begin with. Yet at the same time, these people were warm, sociable, and friendly.

If someone might suspect that you are autistic from repetitive eating habits, there must have been something else that was obvious as well.

I tend to ignore people unless they ask about my lizard whom I ALWAYS take with me and if they ask something completly irevelent I go back to ignoring them. I bascialy see people as part of the landscape, objects to be ignored.

Im sorry this has nothing to do with your post but I found it interesting that you used the word "crowdy". My husband is French and he has said "crowdy" instead of "crowded" for years. I finally told him one day that crowdy is not a word and its supposed to be crowded. We had a big argument and went home and looked it up on google. Actually, crowdy is a word....it means a type of oatmeal. Anyway, Im not making fun of you I just thought it was interesting because Ive never seen or heard anyone use the word. Are you French, maybe?
