You Might be an Aspie if...

I know a guy who does this!! Laughing (Not sure he is an aspie though.), Ann, it's actually hard to say if this strange quirk which I speak of is thoroughly autistic though, I've come across other people in the spectrum which show this interesting phenomenon other than myself...

. . . your friends check with you before making the trip to the library.

. . . if you keep a notebook of who has what book but you don't need it in order to remember which books are missing and who has it.

. . . if you are with a guy for over a year and when he decides he is tired of your lack of attachment/ commitment he says it's over and your next thought is about who will be shoveling you company car off at the office tomorrow.

. . .if you find yourself attracted to foreign men because they are also socially/ and culturally unsure.

. . .if said guy catches on to it before you can.

. . .when your mother uses your gullibility to get you to join in on the throwing of the boquet, and you proceed to dance to the music completely unaware of what is about to happen.

. . .when you realize what the bride is about to do, you take off quickly, babbling about how odd everyone else is.

. . .if you use your time at the wedding and reception to read some articles on the Anterior Cingulate Cortex, which seems to be the brain region of the week.

... if you're pretty sure that if you donated your entire book collection to the local library they would have to build a new wing.
... said wing would have such a large veriety that people would wonder if being there is like being in your mind.

My father always refered to me as "book Poor" because I spend so much money on them.

YMBAAI you're over 6 months into the new leave year and have yet to use up any of your annual leave.

If your boss has been on your case for at least 2 months about taking some time off.

If you know full well the world will not come to an end if you take time off from work, but still can't bring yourself to believe anything but the worst case scenario will happen if you do have a day off.

(Repeat above as necessary until the entire staff faint with shock when you do finally book a day off.)

You might be an Aspie if either your voice tends to be loud or low in tone as well often being seen as having a montonal voice style too...

... if you are sitting watching a play, and focussed more on counting the number of stage lights than on the actual action going on between the actors

:p

You might be an Aspie if you can think out things in your head just, not clearly able to make the physical manifestation as realistic...

I love reading these things. I (up until recently) have felt so left out and strange, but when I read things like this it helps me remember that I am not the only one.

I love the one about the breakup and snow on the car, thats great. My thoughts exactly.

You might be an Aspie if you stare at fluorescent lights to long whereby, you get a headache or simply making facial gesture that others seeming can't understand like the ones I use when in social scenarios...

You might be an Aspie if you can't stand when your roommate puts on the overhead light when you're on the computer because the different colours of the lights makes you nauseous. Yellow lights don't mix with blue!!

If at the age of 14, you decide to climb a big tree in the school field, at an all girls school, and get stuck, resulting in the female oriented gym teacher having to be called to climb the tree and help you back down.

You might be an Aspie if, you ever found yourself listening to what someone says, only to wind up doing something that was not intended..

Prof X, that's my second-favorite Happy Days quote, there in your sig! (My favorite is from the old guy in the pool hall, where Richie was about to get his butt kicked by a gang: "I don't know nothin'. I just work here." It comes in handy a lot...)
