You Might be an Aspie if...

- you tend to smile a lot because you remember that long ago you got the advice from a movie where (the charactors) Madaline explains to Nikita that she should smile if she doesn't know what to do...

(This was great advice! When you don't understand a thing the worst thing you can do is open your mouth and let them know you don't understand. Silence with a slight smile seems to give the impression that you do understand and know more then you do: I could hide my ASS for nearly 35 years doing this.)

Thanks for the comment DeaconBlues... 2nd, you might be an Aspie if you go around displaying various odd physical mannerisms i.e. stims as such...

You might be an Aspie if your boss asks if you you're on crack more then 3 times a day.

You might be an Aspie if you find yourself making strange facial gestures that others translate as being somewhat odd..

YMBAAI you think that the worse part of thanksgiving is saying what you are thankful for.

when you're the only one who understands how everything works, but you have no idea how to explain it to anybody, nor how to introduce yourself to them.

You might be an Aspie if, you often find yourself stuck in a conversation as to what to say next...

You were not looking forward to your first shave/period when you were a child.

You were not enthused to have your first driving lesson.

Drugs boost your self-esteem, but not because of the drugs themselves, but your taking of them.

You might be an Aspie if you go through periods of time in which you can only wear certain clothes and no other clothes will do. I am going through this right now and made the mistake of putting them ALL in the washer at the same time. Now I'm sitting around the house in my underwear because I can't bear the thought of wearing anything else but those clothes. Or maybe that's just me!

… Your boss tells you that you are the type of guy who comes back and shoots up the place, or you walk in one day with a blonde on your shoulder. Any blondes in B’ham area?

… If you don’t get an e-mail from someone in a while you wonder if something you wrote upset them.

... you'd rather have a root canal than go to a Holiday party.

Laughing my a$s off at all these. I'm in the right place.

Going to the dentist is a pleasant experience.

You consider Marilyn Manson an American hero, and closer to being a true Christian than most outward Christians.

When you hear a song you like, you either listen to that one song repeatedly, or have to listen to every song that the band or artist has produced.

...you decided you had to fix physics, because well... hell, the rest of these shmucks aren't getting around to doing it.

...you decided to do that when you were a little kid.

...you expected school to be like a library, where teachers roamed around asking you what you wanted to learn.

...you felt betrayed at being ask to do busy work to prove you knew the subject, when testing would allow you to move on.


...if you were crashing around through the woods like a madman, blood pounding with the power of youthful health, and came across a deer... you began chasing it just because you could.

...if you were barefoot and shirtless while crashing around through the woods... at night.


...if you secretly suspected everyone who said they believed in god was lying, because you yourself are completely incapable of belief.

...if, the spelling mistakes in the above quote have caused you to stim.

...if, over dinner, you can’t remember when you started staring at your plate and stopped talking with the person you were eating dinner with

...if, the first thing you do when entering a room is to locate all the possible exits

...if, you walk into the same wall every morning, even though you’ve lived in the same location for 72% of your life

...If, you clap whenever a YMBAAI applies to you.

...if, you’ve made a list of your favourite “you might be an aspie if’s” to read through at a later time and date and have read all 148 pages of posts

*You eat all of one item on your plate before moving to the next item.
*You point out typos on school banners to your principal (I'm a teacher).
*Online book clubs send you "we miss you" emails if you haven't ordered from them in a week.
*You have more books on The Tudors than the local Barnes and Noble does.
*You are convinced when two adults are talking to each other: it's really about you.

No, it's not just you.

What do you do when the only pants you can wear are reaching their expiration date (due to wear and tear) really soon now?
