You Might be an Aspie if...

Post Reply New Topic

You enjoy the most strangest music, like for example, songs from films like Mary Poppins or even Tom & Jerry. You find it on Youtube and record it onto your MP3.

You may be laughing, but almost every Aspie has a childish or weird interest, right?

(Not that I'm obsessed with this music - it's more of a comfort to me than an interest)

psychotic - your picture thing on the left side of your posts gives me the creeps LOL

you might be an aspie if you tend to say the same things in a strange routine-like order..

You're mostly in your own head half of the time.

This ain't me. I'm the opposite. My bedroom floor is tidy, but everything on the shelves and in my wardrobe is very cluttered and unorganised. OK, once I did sort out all my videos and DVDs and put them in order of the certificate (U's, PG's, 12's, 15's, 18's). But I only did that cos I was bored, and it was just something to do. But it wouldn't bother me if they did get mixed up again.
The clothes in my wardrobe are either piled up at the bottom, or just hung in no particular order. My computer desk is a mess - papers, pens, ornaments, ect are messy - I don't bother about clearing it up. My books are just thrown on the shelf, without being in any order. I should at least clear them up really, but I can't be bothered.

So if you walked into my room, it doesn't look like ''a typical Aspie's bedroom''.

...you try stand-up comedy to you being booed off of the stage.

Has anyone here ever heard someone say hello, and you looked up at them and didn't know who the hell it was, then later that day your uncle comes to your house for a cup of coffee and says to you, ''I was saying hello to you today and you just looked straight up at me blankly and walked off again.''

You might be an aspie if you find the textures of various items to be both pleasing and unpleasant..

You're prescribed glasses but you refuse to wear them, because most young people you've come across with any mental condition seem to wear glasses, for some reason.

I wouldn't mind wearing glasses when I'm in my mid-40s onwards.

You get irritated at people who have poor spelling - even though you have poor maths.

You get yourself so deeply involved in your obsession that you end up making an idiot of yourself.
I'm obsessed with buses, (especially my bus I get to work), and when they changed companies and the drivers, I just had to ring up the bus company and ask why they've changed companies and what happened to all the drivers. I wonder what the receptionist thought!

I don't like to talk about buses much on here because it is boring to other people

...you use the same bus lines to get from school or work.

If you get REALLY angry when you receive junk email or email messages from Windows Live Hotmail Team, because a man you have a crush on sometimes sends you an email every now and again, and you get really excited when you have a new message, and the sh***y email is just from the ugly hotmail team.

If you feel like screaming when your Mum comes into your room and gives you a letter from the post near your 21st birthday, and the letter is a big invitation form to sign up and send for a special party place to celebrate your birthday with lots of mates - and so you've got to be reminded that ''you haven't got many mates so you can't do this''.

This little scenario REALLY ticks me off:-
Mum: Look, Josie - you've received a letter invitation to book up a place to have a big party for your 21st birthday.....but you haven't got any mates so you can't do it.
Me (gritting my teeth): Yes, I fully well know my unsociable self by now, Mum!

It almost feels like she's ripping on me because I can't do these things. But I can tell by the tone of her voice that she's just disappointed that I haven't got any mates my age to enjoy my young life with.
She should have expected all this when I was first diagnosed with such a difficult stupid thing.

That when you find a special interest you're soooooo absorbed in, a lot of things become boring as hell and conversations don't feel satisfying unless that special interest is mentioned atleast once, even if it is one utterance of a related phrase.

I need to get a life

I think everyone loves to talk about their special interest, take each conversation as a chance to learn a little about something else you can always limit the time length of the conversation about something else ....

you might be an aspie if your appear more weird than actual people in your area..

...You can't understand why the phrase sesquicentennial means the 150th anniversary instead of the 6,500th anniversary because ses means 6, qui means 5, and cente means 100.

...You wonder why gas prices always end with 9 tenths of a penny.

...You constantly turn your computer on and off.

...You try to use exactly 500 words when asked to write a 500 word essay.

...You count the number of letters in words or sentences when you are bored.

...You feel like the news anchorman is staring at you.

...When you are called an invalid derogatory word you state the literal definition of the word to explain that they are incorrect and possibly explain the history and origin of the word.

...Your normal facial expression is your poker face.

...You have ever looked up how to count cards expecting complex formulas and then found out that it is just simple addition and subtraction of 0s, 1s, and 2s based on your opponents showing cards.
