You either feel/act like a little kid or much older but never you're actual age.

My own:

...If you know more Windows keyboard short cuts then your MCSE cert'd friend.

...If you wear your headphones without music because they feel soft.

...If you're currently googling a manufacturer for fleece underwear.


Now you're following me! lol I put on my headphones intending to play music, but get distracted before I press "play". I wind up leaving them there because they're comfortable. lol


Maybe I should start an ADHD thread?

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.


I don't do this particuarly, but whenever I'm making something that has to cook for a certain amount of time, I always wait until a specific time to start cooking it so It will be ready at either XX:X0 or XX:X5. :)

I also can't stand having any amount of cash that isn't rounded off to the nearest $5. So if I spend something and I have $X(1-4 or 6-9).XX left, I'll either spend or make a couple of dollars as quickly as possible to keep it divisible by $5. :wink:

If you like to touch things just to know how they feel. It's compulsive for me. I also smell things alot.

If you like sitting in the rotating cushy seats in your school library just because you can rock back and forth in them. *rocks band and forth happily* :)

If you dont want to play the next level of this game that you really really like, cause you really like how things are now and dont want to see them change.

I signed up as not knowing if I'm an aspie or not but every single post on her describes me. I've never laughed so hard in my life and i typically don't laugh at all.

You're know you're an aspie if your friends accuse you of crah landing here from another planet called the Twilight Zone. You brag about that. But you prefer the Twilight Zone reputation to spenfing time with the friends who figured it out.

I always freak people out, especially as a girl, when they find out I crush spiders and crockroaches with my bare fingers and my favorite job involved working alone with boas and snappping tutles. But I'm terrified of birds.

Brand new here so I'm no doubt inappropriate. Feeling isolated from society for total lack of social skills. Thinking I don't even have them here. Open to being told to get lost.

YMBAAI:

When you travel in a car with 2 or more people of a similar age, you've never once had the privilege of sitting in the front passenger seat. You know your place and it's in the back with the window that doesn't open, surrounded by discarded McDonald’s wrappers and empty crisp packets.

Welcome, Gingersnaps! You've found a haven of sorts here. If they haven't kicked me out yet, I'm pretty sure you're safe. Especially considering that I am aparently just a garden variety wierdo. :lol:

You wished you still lived in Atlanta cause the flooding would be exciting.

If someone at work ask you why you do something a certain way, that it would be easier to do it another way.

You figure out ways to run things better, but never get the chance to do so.

You had another ymbaii but forgot it.
