You may be a girl Aspie if
...your obsession is over men, instead of computers
...you're not interested in numbers
...you're not bothered about patterns that much
...you can learn more social rules as you grow up
...you don't make noises
...your tics don't notice to other people. (My tic is I keep wriggling my nose using the muscle in my face. It doesn't show, unless somebody constantly stares at my nose. But I only do this mainly when I'm by myself - unless I'm nervous about something.)

...everyone thinks you express "anti-social" behavior in the least appropriate settings.

You get so horribly jealous of people you know who have a social life that you feel like beating them up :cry:

That ain't me. I know that part of communication. Last week a colleague at work (I work in a clothes shop) went into the fitting-room to try a dress she liked on, and when she came out to show me, I thought to myself that it didn't really suit her body properly, but I knew better not to say. I just said that it looks OK, and then thought of a compliment to go with my answer. So I said, ''I like the flowery bits on it.'' That gives them more encouragement that you like the dress and that it looks good on them.

YMHAI after you've wrote a post on this forum, you always forget which one to press: the ''click here to view your message'' or ''click here to return to the forum''.

Yes, finding something to be selectively honest about is key with those kind of questions. My mom and I had a whole discussion about choosing responses in social situations... I had trouble regocnizing that people didn't want to hear the truth, so they could choose the best possible outfit for their money. Oops.

Um... you may be an Aspie if you have a large supply of glow-sticks, which you take to a dark room, crack and spin in front of your eyes when you get upset. Or maybe that's just me... :P

YMBAA if you finally go to the doctor about a sore that hurts when you walk and find out you have MRSA (a type of staph infection) and did not realize it while having had it for several months. (It was just annoying, but not enough to get it checked.)

If tags in clothing make you feel so sick that you've got to avoid thinking of them when you're eating.

If you get annoyed when sitting behind someone on the bus who has a tag sticking out of their clothes. You keep on looking at it, until you want to tell them to get the tag out of your sight - only you wouldn't because they'll just think you're weird.

If you hate getting your shoulders touched. In fact, when you see someone else get touched there it annoys you so much that you think "How rude!"
