You know you're autistic when...

YES!! ! I have done that!! ! It is beyond fascinating to me. It is like watching a magic show!! !!


Mine:

1) You know your an aspie if you have extra soft shirts in your desk as work just in case you decide to be adventurous one morning and put on something new. You know chances are it will be too itchy even though it felt good in the store. You would rather walk around wrinkled the rest of the day than topless.

2) You know your an aspie if you get upset that they let you go home from work early because that is not the routine. After all, home is not where you should be during certain work hours.

3) You know your an aspie when your favorite number is three and you have to make everything on lists or whatever have three points even if the third point is not needed. Because the favorite number is safe... warm... comfortable... like a soft warm blanket for the brain!

Yup and double yup.

Don't forget gravitating to the psychology section in every bookstore just to read about Aspergers/Autism. It's almost like it explains itself.

When I tell everyone where I volunteer, one at a time, everything I know about the larvae of the Black Swallowtail, along with pictures I have brought.

Good times. Good times.

different theme same story you buy a Swatch mechanical skeleton watch as you love to look at the moving parts, hours of free entertainment ! !! you find other watches "boring"

You like shiny, sparkly things.

You don't know how to be in somebody's company and if you where to invest your capital in a high risk .con (M) investment you work out the risk reward scenario and if you decide to takes the plunge you feel safer investing in some one who can do the socializing for both of you my guess something like a manic depressive their fun aren't they ?

You have nightmares about Autism Speaks.

. . . you feel everything, deeply. You are easily moved by particularly beautiful things, music, other's kind gestures. . .

You have to feel every fabric you see in the clothing store

Oh my goodness! My husband teases me about this ALL the time. He says that that is wierd (and he's a computer guy too). I also have to watch whenever my computer or programs update and love seeing the percentage numbers go up....LOL.

This is me TOTALLY!

Yes, this is me. My parents even remember my top favourite songs on repeat. I think I even put on song on one side of a tape cassette so I could listen to it over and over again.

Oh, I have done this too!

YES!

That´s me, too.
Addition to the last point: ...if you try to find out if somebody is sarcastic with collecting data about him/her, so you know if a person says this it can´t be his/her opinion so you needn´t take it literally, but you not always get the person´s opinion right or don´t concentrate on the most important fact of a comment which also leads to misinterpret sarcastic comments both ways (I also sometimes think a person wanted to be sarcastic when it was meant literally.)

....you hate it when people say ''Christmas is for children'', because it shouldn't be considered just for children, it should be a spiritual time for everybody. Plus it becomes tradition

....you feel annoyed because they don't download all the episodes of The Tweenies online and you can't find all the episodes anywhere wherever you look online, but you feel embarrassed buying The Tweenies on DVD because it is specifically dedicated for small children. You just would have thought every episode would be on Youtube, like all the other children's programmes are

....you and your family have been invited to your grandmother's for dinner this evening but you decided to stay at home because it will be the only time over Christmas you will get to be at home on your own. But you are sitting there feeling really guilty that you haven't gone

....you always feel annoyed when you have missed out on a social event because they always come back saying how fun it was and that they were doing things you would have enjoyed. You make the wrong decision of not going to the social event then regretting it every time
