You Might be an Aspie if...

If your dream vacation is to be in a coma for 3 months.

If everytime you see a pregnant woman you say to yourself, "geezz, another one".

Vacation: That thing my mom claims we need to fill with everything, because sitting around at home is something we can do any other time.

You might be an aspie if your idea of relaxing in bed includes coding a web page on a imagined keyboard.

You enjoying staying home in the evening, and posting on WP, while listening to your favourite group, for the 21st time, within 7 days.

Employers are discriminating against people with Aspergers Syndrome. Employers are the most inflexible but they complain about not having enough workers. Employ Aspies now.

I believe Aspergers Syndrome should be recognised as a religion. Anyone who discriminates against us can burn in hell.

I enjoy my own Aspie World. It beats living in the boring conformist world in which non Aspies are all sheep and they force their beliefs onto us.

Aspies are oppressed and it feels like the whole world is against us. You are forced to be a conformist/sheep or you will be judged by non-Aspies.

Aspies are best working on our own. We do not like team work and BS politics.

I am an Aspie and I do not like really like people. They are not worth the time and effort. Non-Aspies judge people without even knowing you. How dare they judge us. Only God can judge people.

YMBAAI......You search for one of your favorite numbers in Pi (169) which you find 40 Digits in after the decimal point so you search for 40 now and find it 70 Digits in, and you do what any sane and reasonable person would do at this point and search for 70, which is 96 digits in, 96 leads to 180, 180 to 3664, 3664 to 24717, 24717 to 15492, 15492 to 84198, 84198 to 65489, 65489 to 3725, 3725 to 16974, 16974 to 41702, 41702 to 3788, 3788 to 5757, 5757 to 1958, 1958 to 14609, 14609 to 62892, 62892 to 44745, 44745 to 9385, 9385 to 169, 169 to 40.....

and you find that closed loop strangely comforting.

The Cat In The Hat Comes Back is obviously superior to The Cat In The Hat.

YMBAA If you date a girl and she thinks you are weird because you don't talk to her as much as she would like

Wow, this thread is fantastic. Perhaps I'm a real person afterall. . . .

You feel personally insulted that you can’t only pay for and receive the channels that you want on cable. All of which involve either the accumulation of information, or childhood fantasy. You’re insulted that you have go through the motion of blocking out the channels you don’t want on your electronics, only to find yourself unblocking and re-blocking based on your curiosity of the moment.

Your friend/relative asks if you’ve remembered your earplugs before leaving for the movie theater, or else have simply already put them in their pocket.

Someone asks if you were a dog in a past life upon seeing you interact with one, and comparing it to your interactions with people.

Your friend is horrified to find you in their kitchen cuddling, petting, and playing with their “vicious Chinese attack dog” that you’ve never met, and who has bitten four strangers already.

You approach rather than run away from most dangerous things out of curiosity, but are convinced that the antibiotic you’re taking is going to kill you.

You are that person who messes up their, they’re, and there – fearing the wrath of those who are annoyed by it, and nearly not posting on this board.

You’re confused as to why letters have to be oriented in a certain direction, when it’s perfectly clear what they are regardless of their orientation. With the exception of “d” and “p”, and “q” and “b”, and these are easily known based on context.

You can rotate objects in your mind easily, but can’t simply copy rows of number/letter combinations from one page to another.

You went straight from silence to complete sentences.

You are still finding out what the lyrics for your favorite childhood songs actually mean, after you’ve sung them over and over no less than 30 billion times.

You’ve been asked if you really reverse engineered something rather than tried to search out the specification for it. (which didn’t exist – as it turned out)

You’re irritated that people don’t simply say, “say the word ‘fine’ to me”, instead of “how are you?”

You’ve irritated other people by telling them how you are, rather than saying “fine”.

You wore sunglasses in class because the combination of black print on a white page combined with fluorescent lights gave you massive headaches.

You’ve been told “you take everything I say the wrong way”, when in fact they just aren’t saying what they actually mean.

You refuse to engage in “harmless deception” to the point that you have difficulty maintaining relationships. And can't understand why all that deception is neccessary. acting more happy/excited/pleased than they really are, saying fine when they don't mean it, coming up with lame excuses that aren't the real reason for doing or not doing things. . . why should I have to lie to have friends!??!?!?

Someone tells you that they want your opinion specifically concerning something they’ve recently changed about themselves, because they “know you won’t lie to spare my feelings”.

You try keep conversations going by asking questions, and can’t think of what else to do.

More than 50% of your spoken communication is in the form of questions.

People are shocked by your emotional outbursts, because “you seemed like you didn’t care”.

You perpetually think that others should know what you’re feeling, which makes much of what they say and do seem mean or manipulative, since they don't know what you're feeling. And, knowing that this is what’s going on doesn’t help, because you know better than they do what their real intentions are.

You’re confused by the fact that simply telling someone your feelings isn’t sufficient for them to believe you.

You’ve had more injuries than a rodeo-rider, just trying to lead a “normal” life.

You prefer solid colored objects to patterns, and pick a shirt color for the day based on what happened to you last time you wore it.

You are compelled to correct inaccuracies and imprecision and it really is what you would want someone else to do for you.

You’re scared to fully be yourself, even on the Internet -- perhaps especially on the internet.

You’ve looked onto your classmates tests not to cheat, but rather to find out if they got the right answers like you did.

“It depends” is your standard answer to all non-specific questions.

You’ve found mistakes or multiple correct answers on standardized or IQ tests and had to choose “the one they meant to be the right answer”.

You get stomach aches or headaches doing activities that are "supposed to be fun".

You enjoy fashion for it's artistic elements and relation to psychology and human behavior, rather than for it's social value.

You've noticed age descrimination as practiced against young people rather than the elderly and see a correlation between age and wisdom far less often than others do. And furthermore can't understand why questioning someone is "rude".

"A person's a person, no matter how small" Theodore Geisel (aka, Dr. Suess)

You are at a party where they serve food and drink with no provision for being able to eat off a plate while holding a drink. You are supposed to find some elevated platform somewhere to put your drink on so that you can eat the food on the plate that you have to hold carefully to try not to spill. You are amazed this is the actual method normally used universally.

Music is too loud to hear people right in front of you talking. People talk anyway.

You realize that this is supposed to be fun and everyone else is actually enjoying themselves.
