That's awesome! I made up a good joke! :D

You might be AUTISTIC if someone's convinced you that they had a T.V. in their cabin's bathroom, considering the place is near Sierra Nevada.

• when you see a classmate at the store and you completely blank out on who it is for a second, even though they clearly know you
• when your mom jokes with you at the same store to go ask a stranger for a piece of pizza and you almost do it
• when your mom cares more about how you look than you do

When your sister and niece meet you at the airport, and you wonder why those strangers are waving at you.

1. For me it's usually family friends.
2. My brother makes those type of jokes toward me.
3. Definitely applies to me. She takes great care (in my opinion) in my appearance.

My mom had no clue about how I should dress. I suspect that she is aspie herself. It was a bit of a double whammy for me. I had no idea, and my mother could not correct my mistakes.

...you are determined to beat every one of the 1,000,000 levels of the computer card game Freecell - in order, from game number 1 - and are totally annoyed because while you are currently on game number 322, the little index card with number 169 written on it is staring at you, TAUNTING you, never letting you forget that so far you have encountered one level that you simply CANNOT BEAT!! !! !! !! !! ! :x



LOL!

I'm very, very good at Freecell so I had to take a look at #169. Dang, its a toughie! I haven't gotten it yet, either.

But remember, its only a theory that all games can be beat!

For what its worth, I know two NTs (me being one of them :oops: ) who started this same thing. Both gave up before game 100. The stick-to-it-ness of an Aspie can be a wonderful thing.

BeeBee


OMG. I just looked down, and realized I have freecell on desktop shortcut.... uh oh. I am currently undiagnosed, but there's really no doubt in my 43 year old mind about it. oh dear.... and then, of course, I have to try freecell #169. Don't be mad at me, it took about 5 tries but I managed to solve it. (I'm really not trying to be a jerk, I swear, and you probably already have solved it so I'm actally talking "old news" here)

....if you're shouting or whining loud about a loud noise, (eg a smoke alarm), and other people always say, ''you're loud too!''

REALLY ANNOYING!! !! !

You might be an Aspie if you can memorize the scientific name of at least two living things.

this reminds me of when the fire alarm went off at my dorm...I ran screaming not to get away from any possible fire but to get away from the fire alarms

I know what you mean, my sister was pretty popular with the goths and stoners, so a lot of them knew me and called me that. :roll:

...if you went through a traumatic grieving process when your cat died but didn't even cry when your grandfather died.

...if you asked Santa to give you a box of LED crystals as a kid. And meant it.

...if you have a pet snake and can't stand it when people are afraid of it no matter how many times you tell them that it's completely harmless.

...if you go to an athletic event and you're looking at and pondering the little white line on one side of each of the needles of a pine tree nearby instead of watching the game.


Do I know these things from personal experience? Naahhhhhhhh.... :lol:

You may be a female Aspie if when you was a teenager at school you actually lacked typical teenage interests, more than social skills. (Which explains why all the boys thought you were rather cool and all the boys thought you were boring and worthless).

That does NOT mean I'm gay though!! !! !! !

- You spend your time driving coming up with good excuses to tell your GF as to why you can't come over for another 4+ hours when in reality you just can't stop playing guitar.

- You play the same 6-note-speed-excercise on guitar for over 6 hours at a time (much to the bewilderment of the poor people living next to you).

- You walk away from a social gathering utterly perplexed by the conversational topics people choose and appear to enjoy talking about and then proceed to get incredibly frusturated trying to understand why anyone would take enough interest in said topic to even bring it up.

- Regularly recite death quotes of characters from the game Fire Emblem because you thought they were so incredibly dramatic only to further alienate the people around you.

- Perpetually fantasize about holding a conversation with people about one of your interests when you realize the probability of it actually transpiring is highly unlikely.

- Practically crap yourself describing some epic win you achieved playing Starcraft II to one of your fellow Starcraft II playing friends and then upon considering thier reaction later, realize they probably could of cared less and get really depressed about it.

- You wake up one day and suddenly realize that all the people you hang out with smoke a lot of weed (when you yourself don't) and begin to wonder if it's because they are the only people who can stand listening to your long-winded rants about physics and UFOlogy.... sigh*
