You Might be an Aspie if...

Sadly, I don't remember calculus well enough to know why this should be funny. But there is some part of me that knows it should be.

i was the only person in my logic class to laugh at the professor's jokes. I didnt just chuckle, i laughed fully and heartily out loud.

you might be an aspie if you pretty much taught your college level (math I'd done in middle school) math classes because your professor was wrong half the time and couldn't properly explain the concepts the rest of the time. I was this close to going up to the board and making her sit down and shut up.

You might be an aspie if, when you were 15, you were helping your father cook, and he said, "Put some ELBOW grease in that!" and you paused, looked at your elbow unsurely, proceeded to inch it to the food, and finally stopped and said, "...How?? That's just disgusting..." To which your father responded, "Uh...really? Just put more effort in it..." 15 for Pete's sake!

Or, you might be aspie if, in your History class, you're as equally amazed with Adolf Hitler's military genius as you're disgusted with the injustices of the Holocaust. But you can't say that out loud or else people will think you're a neo-Nazi of some sort...

If you ever had a meltdown in school trying to explain to a redneck friend that a .410 shotgun was a CALIBER and not a GAUGE.

Really? If anyone would understand that I'd expect it to be the rednecks lol

You might be aspie if you need to anally literal, Ex: "I wasnt quoting you I was paraphrasing you"

You might be aspie if when you think about life, you think within numerical and graphical terms, and you find yourself making random calculations in attempts to gauge yourself.

You might be aspie if you find yourself listening to a song ~50x in a row when you study. And you only know this because you figured out the amount of hours u listen to the song, converted that to seconds and divided the seconds by how many seconds the song was.

You might be aspie if you say try to say things, you constantly convey the wrong meaning due to wrong word usage. You dont realize even though your saying something similar, it conveys something completely different. In some instances were u do realize it, you like to make jokes by twisting peoples words around.

I have really bad luck getting repeated signatures in books. I try to check all the time, if the book is printed that way (hardcovers, typically).

You might be aspie...

if your friend gets a rose from her bf and the first thing you mention is that him cutting it off the rosebush outside is a $500 fine

if your friend is talking about her dog getting hit by a car and your too socially exhausted to fake empathy, so u respond saying "uh huh" very monotonely

if you find it big deal that you gotta return the laptop u checked out from the library at 11:45 as opposed to 12

if your doing P-chem hw and you find it a big deal that your .01 decimal point off (my friend was like this, hes not aspie but I still found this very aspieish)

if you took 21 years to learn how to make eye contact

if you laugh at the strangest moments when no one else is laughing

if you playfully teasing someone and you overdo it because u dont know where your boundaries are

if you speak in a very monotone voice and you greet and talk to all the people u know in the exact same way because you cant distinguish the differing levels of relationships you have with people(my aspie friend is like this)

if you start talking about someone with ur friend when the person can hear u

if you like to spend long hours doing O-chem because its fascinating when everyone else hates it

Calculus isn't important. That's just happened to be the class in which it happened to me.

You need to know programming or discrete math to get the joke. In those realms, the "or" operation is true if one or both of the statements it joins are true; it is false only if both of them are false. So if I ask any question (mathematical or even non-mathematical), "Should I do X or should I not do X?" then the answer to a computer programmer or discrete mathematician is "yes" because it's impossible for both of those statements to be false.

It's funny because when people ask this then they usually are asking which option is correct and don't want a yes/no response. But if you take the words 100% purely literally then the answer is "yes."

you miight be an aspie if, you count all the clouds in the sky....

I count only the clouds that outline a solid of topological genus 1.

Hmmm... Perhaps they should use XOR. Wait, for that problem it's also always be yes.... When I was a kid, my dad thid that kind of thing all the time.

Lol! Too true!

you might be an aspie if a neighbor invites you to a party and all you can do is think of ways to avoid going. Social and sensory overload guaranteed.

Hmm. Well I do program and I understand how the 'or' joke would work (and I would be the one laughing hysterically ) , but not in this instance because I have no idea what "the chain rule" means.
