YMBAAI You feel an overwhelming urge to explain the obvious.

You might be an aspie if you use OKCupid to attempt to date, but when you look up the profiles, you only want to discuss similar hobbies . . .

If you're looking at someone, and they keep saying "look at me!"

If you never use anyone's names because you don't know their names, even though they just told you, so you speak to them assuming they know you must be talking to them, and then get mad because they don't answer you...

You never say "Hi" back to anyone when they greet you, because you shouldn't have to. They know they said, "Hi!" don't they?!

People walk off while you are in mid sentence, shaking their heads. What's wrong with them anyway? I'm not finished!

There are holes in all your clothes where the tags used to be...

When you take your pants off at night, they stand up on their own...

It's easier to sweep the dust piles outside through a door twenty feet away than to use the dustpan and trash can right next to you...

You think everyone knows who "they" are...

You are an encyclopedia of information on "most people." ("Most people think..." "Most people are...")

It doesn't make sense to take out the garbage because it's only going to get filled up again...

Showing your work on homework is stupid...

There is hypocrisy in everything and everyone, everywhere you look...

The whole world is just plain WRONG, and nothing makes sense...

You think it would be cool if Frank Zappa and John Wayne got into a fight, and Frank kicked John's ass just by singing "Lonesome Cowboy Burt"...

You think you're an Aspie...

You got in the tub, read your book for a while, decided it was time to wash your hair, took the mp3 player ear buds out of your ears and only then realized you also had your sunglasses on your head. An honest mistake, but preparing to get in the tub required pulling your shirt over your head.

But thats ok, because occasionally you go out into public with your shirt inside out.

You might be an Aspie if you can tell that a guy in your martial arts class has done Muay Thai by the way he whirls like a centrifuge when throwing a kick...but you suck at reading body language.

You might be an Aspie if they won't let you play Name That Tune at work anymore, unless, of course, no one else can guess it.

YMBAAI You count your time at the check out counter as social interaction.

Only after reading this now, it occured to me that some people might not see it as socializing.

Indeed. I was criticized for counting this.

And the remaining letters are an anagram of what most of the rest of the internet is "lag porn."

...you call your parents, believing only your mother is home and having planned your conversation in advance. Then your father picks up the phone, and it's so unexpected that you freak out and hang up, because you weren't prepared for that possibility.

I've committed alot of these before,
for example every Saturday me and my dad go to a burger joint and have the usual order ( One Hamburger, chips, and a drink ).
Then one day, my dad asks where would I like to go? it freaked me out! I didn't know what to say to him. So there was a moment of silence between each other just because he freaked me out.

My you might be an Aspie is: If you enjoy anything that can be divided by five.
for me, number of freinds, my clothes * one outfit for each weekday .*

Exactly the same here.

If it involves looking at, talking to, or otherwise dealing with another human, it's social interaction, right??
