In the '70s, my uncle and his (Korean) wife adopted a Vietnamese orphan. I'm reliably informed that Myung-Hui's first sentence in English, apparently learned from my siblings, was, "Shut up, Jon!"

If the video store clerk has gotten to know you personally because you obsessively rent The Hitcher and The Dead Zone every Friday evening for almost the entire year, you in fact may be an Aspie.

I know this for a fact, because I did just that in my first year of college. Hey, those movies managed to touch something inside!

You might be an Aspie if, as a child, your mom took your toy dinosaurs away because she thought you were developing an unhealthy obsession with them.

My dinosaur obsession wasn't unhealthy, mom!

You might be an aspie if someone else has to point out that your toe is bleeding, even though it is covered in blood already.

...When after four days lost and barefoot in a florida swamp you hear a rescuer shout your name and you respond, "What?"

YMBAAI if you immediately recognized that the first and last lines rhymed and that they formed a nice logical loop.

I'd like to respond with another Seuss-ism:

You'd rather listen to music, than talk to people.

You may ba an Aspie if
-your Boss invites you and you son to his daughters birthday party and asks that you come an hour early so to give you time to adjust to the new enviroment. (he is very understanding to my sensory and social issues. lol)

-You spend five hours at the Mall and your family asks what you bought and you respond "Books" because you spent the whole five hours in the book store.

-The people who work in the local usedbook store know your name because you are there all the time.

-You can translate for your child who has Autism, and have actually had his preschool call you so that you can translate what he talking about.(although that may also be a parent thing!)

-Your childs TSS actually begins correcting your social interactions while in public. (lol she and I laugh about that all the time)

Oh yes indeed. Lol.

-You might be an Aspie if you see any string of numbers and then automatically analyze all the potential patterns and such in the numbers, at the exclusion of anything else around you.(Must. Not. Look. At. Board. Statistics. *twitch*)

...and then everyone asks what you could possibly be doing in a book store for so long, and you're confused because it seems obvious that you were just reading all the books in one section lol.

If you go to Wendy's (because it's Monday, and Mondays you go to Wendy's), order the chicken combo (because that's what you order when you go to Wendy's on Mondays), sit in your usual spot by the window, and notice that the entrance (which is next to the window you're sitting by), shows the following:

Dining Room Hours

Monday-Thursday
10:00am-10:00pm

Friday-Sunday
10:00am-10:00pm

And you wonder why they chose to split it up, despite the fact that it's showing the exact same times. Wouldn't it have been easier, simpler, and more efficient to just say "Sunday-Saturday, 10:00am-10:00pm," or even just "10:00am-10:00pm"?

Maybe they used be be open different hours on Friday-Sunday and it was easier just to change the numbers than the whole sign.

Most chains like that have the signs made in bulk, and some stores have different hours. usually there is a numbers sheet that goes with the sign, and they just insert the appropriate numbers. Many have later hours on Friday and Saturday, and earlier hours on Sunday.

Well, unless they have an arcade for me to be playing video games at what else would I be doing at the mall?

...if you see a topic entitled, "Do You Communicate Like a Man Or a Woman?", and the first response you think of is, "Not usually, it would seem..."
