You may be Autistic if...

You tell an anonymous user on a website that they are not you friend , they are an anonymous name on a screen.

You hate having your picture taken because it never turns out well. You always look stiff or have a strange-looking expression on your face.

Really relate to that with 'ancient crone like' teeth and trying to smile naturally I can look like the dumber brother of the village idiot .

I don't mind having my picture taken but I do have a really hard time just smiling normally. I always make faces because other wise I just feel weird.

... your teacher gives the class a typed handout and you use a red pen to correct all the grammar, punctuation, and spelling mistakes before giving the handout back to the teacher.

... if you've marked up the errors on a love letter and handed it back to be corrected. More than once...

You feel compelled to read every sheet of paper you see, and to correct the spelling and grammar mistakes.

In your old age, you suddenly realize that your parents suffered, too. :roll:

Growing up, your best friend by far was your dog (Rusty).

If you don't do something right away, it won't get done until a disaster occurs.

You're very inquisitive, but because you're not that popular, your colleagues don't tell you all the latest gossip and scandals that goes on at work, so you find yourself having to ask what's going on - and then people call you nosy.

:roll:

You've passed up friendships to avoid the pain of losing friends. :cry:

Your wife tells you she doesn't want to hear any more about Lacan.

You must have been standing behind the door when personalities were handed out.

You get counselling in high school--no help. You take a degree in psychology--no help. You read Freud, Jung, and Lacan--no help. Then at age 77 you find out you've had Asperger's all along!

You read The Stranger. The phrase "the benign indifference of the universe" hits you like a ton of bricks and explains everything.

If it's benign it can't be indifferent. Indifference is neutral.

This....

You didn't understand why everyone felt excited and screamed at pep rallies in school and asked to be excused when they were occurring.

All you can think about is religious sociology and politics at an airport.
