You Might be an Aspie if...

Post Reply New Topic

Have you ever traced back the etymology of a word as far as you could, by looking up the root words as well until you'd gone as far as that dictionary would go? It's really quite fascinating...

You Might Be An Aspie If A 25 pound unabridged dictionary is your favorite coffee table book....

YMBAAI... you can quote the entire yo mama fight from Star Wars Robot Chicken.

That's pretty awesome! I collect dictionaries.

Uhm, yes... *sheepish face* Doesn't everyone do that?

YMBAAI you're constantly puzzled that everyone doesn't think the way you do, because your way totally makes more sense!

You might be an aspie if:

the rest of the law students think you are weird for enjoying legal research.

you would rather not litigate, but deal with transactional law instead. Or appellate cases, which involve lots of research and little interaction with others.

you enjoy the quietness of the library, the smell of the books and the general peace of being alone there.

you get really irritated when said library's peace is disturbed.

papers you are writing become an obsession that even invades your dreams.

you are told by one of your professors that you have the most unique style of learning she has ever seen.

You facebook a girl in whom you are interested and constantly look at her profile.

At primary school, every day, you wore a grey skirt, a white shirt, a grey cardigan, black lace-up shoes and those white knee-high socks with the crocheted patterns of holes that people used to call "virgin socks" ...

... and the school did not have a uniform.

You suddenly stop dancing and walk off the dancefloor in disgust, and no-one else has any idea why because they couldn't hear the DJ letting a track drift out by a quarter-beat.

You think that dance music and databases have a great deal in common and don't think it at all strange that your life revolved entirely around one and then, suddenly, revolved entirely around the other.

After posting on this forum you post again to apologise for the spelling mistakes in the first post, and then post a third time to apologise for a logical error in the second.

...your job is ideal for you because you have four telephones on your desk but you don't have to speak to anybody on them, just program and configure them in interesting ways!

Really hot women like you, but it never goes past a whimsical flirtation.

Because you have such flirtations with many of the girls at the work place, you're male coworkers tease you about being a ladies man which you find annoying cause you've never been laid.

You missed some of the big trends of your childhood, such as ninja turtles, because you were into pirates.

You hate Jenny McCarthy and Autism Speaks.

You know your an Aspie if...

Your best friends are books.

you dream of manipulating the quantum foam

you think you've finally understand NT's but then you lose them

you want to lose yourself into universes/worlds you create in your mind

you spend more time alone than with others

you listen to a certain set of songs every day

you think of things a lot of the time other people think there is no point thinking about

And you just might be an Aspie if you have read all the comments from beginning to end

you might be an aspie if you are more knowledgeable about a topic than your professor.

You completely disregard cliches when someone uses them.

YMBAAI...

...you risk life and limb by driving in the middle of a snow storm to pick up a package at UPS related to one of your interests because if you didn't you'd have to wait until Monday and you've already been waiting for it for over a week and you just couldn't wait any longer.
