You might be an Aspie, if you playback movie scenes in your head over and over again..

Sean: "...if you're in class and everybody wants to sit by you for help with thier work but you can't get your own work done in time to save your life"

Yes! This happens to me all the time! Then mum goes crazy cos I am up all night trying to do my OWN work!

this is SO me! and to this day, i still wear the dinosaur kid's watch i got when i was like 4 or 5. partly because, i'm still slightly obsessed with dinosaurs, but mostly because the band is elastic and really soft while the leather and other types of bands on other watches drive me crazy!

ymbaa- if you walk in the same spot over and over again..

Actually, I've changed my watch severel times throughout my life. For my 18th birthday I got a gold bracelet-watch.
But I have kept my other watches what I don't wear anymore. One Christmas when I was 10 my Nan brought me a watch with bees on the strap, and I just cannot throw that away.

You may have AS if you think everything has feelings, so you keep them under your bed. And each year underneath your bed is more cluttered with stuff than last year, and so on. You just cannot throw them away. Under my bed is stuff what needs throwing away, like: old toothbrushes, watches, greetings cards from passed birthdays and Christmasses. old videos what don't work any more, an old computer mouse what don't work, an old wall clock which one of it's hands have broken off (I've had the clock since I was a baby - I cannot throw it out), dictionarys what I never read, LP records what we don't use, an old radio what once caught fire when plugged in. . .and lots of other junk what is no good to no man or beast. It's got nothing to do with any ''obsession'' or ''things I collect'' cos I don't collect things, and I'm not obsessed with anything except men and buses. I just cannot throw anything away.

I often get people telling me that at work. But I don't say ''I am standing up'' because I know what they mean. I just tell them that I don't like standing up for myself in case people might think I'm being a smart-arse, and they also might think I'm one of those people who think I am always right, and I don't want people thinking that about me. So I just let them win.

Heh, that was me! I made a conscious decision to wear it on the left in my twenties.
