You Might be an Aspie if...

Hehe, but mine was a bit stupid. I had got a phone call from my mate, "Oi, come over. Everyone's here." "Ok." I said. So I went, and when I got there, I parked my (mum's) car in front. I sat in the car for a couple of minutes, not necessarily trying to avoid anything inside, as I knew the people I was about to interact with. I just couldn't go to the front door, because he had never said, "Knock on the door," or. "Ring the doorbell." He had just said "Come over," but didn't give details as to how to alert him to my arrival, so I called him because that was how we had most recently communicated. "Just come inside, man." He has observed that I'm a different ilk to most, so he's pretty tolerant of these quirks that I have, luckily.

YMBAAI:

You had to fight the urge to laugh when your teacher wanted you to write "I will not fidget during class" five times as a way of punishment.

You loved it when the teacher punished you by getting you to write out your multiplication tables, because that's what you do in your spare time, and would most likely have been doing at that time during the lunch break anyway.

You were confused as to why your teacher rejected your notion that "sincerely" is a compound word. (Since + rely, geddit?)

Ditto for me and national anthems (I have 25 of them on the iPod). Beatles, too.

You go to the grocery store only to find someone you know there and instead of saying hi, you rush to the other side of the store and avoid them just so you don't have to engage in small talk.

You tell someone something about yourself and then say that Albert Einstein was the same way.

YMBAAI:

You think rats make great pets, but run for cover from birds flying overhead for fear that they'll poop on your head because of a wierd nursery rhyme your dad told you when you were a kid. (True story)

You think it's awesome that your Aspie boyfriend doesn't mind that, when you get a song stuck in your head, you listen to it 30+ times back to back. Bonus points if you both want to listen to the same song repeatedly.

Your mom calls YOU for the song title, artist, and/or album title of her favorite music from her high school days. You always know the answer without Googling it.

You might have ADHD if you loved the first page of this thread and related to most of it, but had to skip to the end because you couldn't stay focused past the second page. Reason being, you kept forgetting what you wanted to add. (I finally gave up trying to remember and started using "notepad" for a cut and paste....unfortunately, I procrastinated too long for it to matter. lol)

Welcome To

You play Hoyle chess at the easy level and get mad when you loose.

Hey, you laugh, but I will never forget that stupid rhyme. lol "Birdy, birdy , in the sky. Why'd you do that in her eye? I know she's glad that cows can't fly!" It's quite funny (to me, anyway) that, in my house, I'm the designated spider stomper, but flying birds give me the heebie jeebies. lol The worst is that I've had two or three ocassions where birds have flown into my house. It was interesting trying to figure out a way to get the birds out of my house without harming the little critter or getting pooped on. One of them got scared of me and flew smack into the wall knocking himself silly. lol


Hrmmm. YMBAAI:

You think most Aspies make more sense than most NTs you meet.

^ I was definitely not laughing AT you. It was more of an identity thing, and the fact that I thought it was an appropriate place to welcome you at the time.




Hrmmm. YMBAAI: The majority of your post are misconstrued, and you feel the rest of them are ignored on purpose.

My apologies for my miscommunication. I didn't take it as you laughing at me. The tone in my response was intended to be funny. I think it's hilarious that birds creep me out and the reason for it. lol I somehow still forget (after many years of issues with this) that my dry/sarcastic sense of humor is difficult for most people I encounter to read. Affect is not my strong suit, and text is toneless to boot. lol

Please, please don't worry that you'll offend me. I'm incredibly difficult to offend, and if ever I am truly offended, I say so pointblank. I figure, people aren't mindreaders and I have no right to be upset at someone for offending me if I don't tell them what or in what way I was offended. Plus, "beating around the (proverbial) bush" is a massive waste of time in my opinion.

Thank you for the welcome. I actually quite liked your particular style of welcome.

You can only get out of bed when the time on your digital clock ends in 0 or 5. For example you wake up at 07:22, but have to wait until 07:25 to get up. However if you weren't paying attention and the clock moves onto 07:26, you now have to wait until 07:30.

Every morning!

you might be an aspie if:

you set your alarm for 7:20, wake up at 7:19 without fail to shut it off cause you cannot stand the sound, then set it for 7:40 and do the same thing.

Then you get up, not needing a schedule because everything you do times out the same every morning, as long as nobody else is awake. You make it to work on time too.

When you saw "The Little Mermaid," You thought that the talking crab and sea horse and fish should be less intelligent than the Mer people, with a simpler vocabulary, and not capable of doing things like conduct choirs.

When you can barely read the facial expressions of a friend you've known for years.

Last night I was at my friend's house, we were just talking about things. Anyway she said "you know that nervous smile I do..?" I was like "what nervous smile?" and she said "you know when I smile for a bit then my face goes straight again. Well someone said I'm doing that face again" I said that I hadn't even noticed she did have a nervous smile. We've known eachother for just over 7 years aswell. I wonder what other things I've missed.

Copied from previous posts as they are oh so true:

...if your high school librarian knew you better than your classmates

...you might be an aspie if you think it would be okay to wear the same clothes today as you did yesterday...even though you slept in them too. (Try two weeks. That's when they get real comfy.)

...if you can hear the water dripping in the sink in the other room, but you don't notice the person sitting next to you is speaking to you.

...you have developed your own multiple personalties to be even stranger.

...If you have actually read the dictionary from cover to cover.

...You might be an aspie if you walk into doorways more often than you walk through them .

...The first thing that you notice about a car is not the flashy (or not so flashy) colour, size, body style, allure, etc, but its license plate.

...The first thing that you notice about a house is not its colour, size, architectural style, curb appeal, etc, but its address number.

...The first thing that you notice about a banknote is not its denomination, colour, design, etc, but its serial number.

...If you care more about how your "Sims" are dressed than your are.

...The only clear space on your floor is a path to your bed.

...The words "public school system" make you swear and throw things.

...You were ever punished for correcting the teacher in class.

...Go around in bare feet as often as you can.

...If you annoy your parents by asking them questions about astrophysics which they do not understand.
