Actually... that goes for my happy dance too, and a whole lot of other things that mysteriously went from cute-and-harmless to defective-and-hopeless for no apparent reason, as far as how other people saw them.

Yeah for some reason sitting with my legs on the chair and my arms wraped around them means im having problems (actually thats what I do when im peaceful) when it used to be "weird" XD
yeah im like that when im in a really pleasant kinda fuzzy mood, normally with my t-shirt or top pulled over my knee's, i think nt's have some pretty strange psychological reactions to things they don't understand, so strange in fact that they should probably be medicated for it.

One day we went to eat chinese at P.F. Chang's and my son decided to keep going through the revolving door, so I had to limit him to 3 rounds.

So I responded, "Oh, good! Well, we're gonna flap in a minute." We both laughed and it was really a relief to be able to connect w/ someone that was not judging us negatively or giving me the "bad parent" vibe.
It's also cute when he gets into his literal thinking mode.
Oh, my brother was about 6 when he told my mom, "When I grow up, I want to be a stoplight or a bird."
I was drinking a root beer one day when the same brother told me, "I'm telling!" Ok, no idea why, so I had to ask. "Because it's against the LAW to drink and drive!" (We're 11 yrs 8mos apart so I was driving.)
Indeed.
And that brother is not dx'd at all. I have not given any thought to it for him, actually. My other bro is definitely aspie, though he refuses to accept or admit it.

Well, the idea of "drinking" IS stupid! STILL, he MIGHT have understood THAT and figured rootBEER!

My wife thinks my unprovoked, random soliloquies are cute.
I got annoyed when I was called cute for those, because the times I actually expected anyone to listen I was just being ignored. "Oh, there he goes again! What? No, you don't have to actually listen to what he's saying." *stops talking and stays quiet the rest of the day*
Yeah, my wife has actually told me that sometimes she's not listening, just watching my mouth move and thinking "awwww, its talking!"

Among other things, apparently she thinks it's cute when I make up songs about things I observe...
...and she really, REALLY likes to tickle me 
I let her have this small pleasure, but I make her stop if it gets too extreme...and she makes ME stop when I start screaming too loud

I wondered if that was the case. My son seemed to have the same thought about root beer. Thought it was real beer, thought he was so scandalous for drinking it. HAHAHA!

My boyfriend finds it cute when I stutter and hesitate as I try to find the most precise word to express my thoughts.
Also when I am go into "literal mode."
