Well, I do regularly reply to children saying they "want that" by quoting a turian guard in one side-quest in Mass Effect ("I want lots of things, human. Desire forms the basis of organized society"). Does that count? :)

(I also invariably respond to hearing "All Around the Watchtower" on the radio by pressing my ear to the wall and saying, in my best Saul Tigh impression, "It's in the fracking ship!")

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.

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)


Freecell? Who? Me? Were you looking over my shoulder?

#169? Let's have a look.

...you'd rather spend time fixing a broken machine instead of being near people.

...you have a more intimate knowledge of you automobile's inner workings than the "service tech" at the dealership.

You are honest about things that most people don't even talk about.

You hate injustice more then most comic book superheroes.

You consider being a superhero a good idea, even if your only superpower is to count Pi to the 100th digit.

You are excellent at reading

You are excellent at writing

you are excellent at drawing

you are excellent at doing anything that doesn't come naturally to NTs.

You are not excellent at doing anything that NTs do like its breathing. Lying, for instance.

You think that the above skills are less important then the skills prior to them.

You actually value the art of thinking.

You think Einstein is cooler then McJagger.

You have ideas that you know are good that no one else thinks actually is until they see it work.


Add as you please.

....everyone in the room are laughing at the TV show ''You've Been Framed'' except you, and you feel annoyed when they laugh at something so predictable like a fat person falling off a swing or some toddler falling off a trike.

You might be an aspie if...
- You only eat from about two food groups.
- You have a better social life with your toy 'pikachu' than a real person.
- Your computer is your best friend.
- You scour the internet to research a particular, obscure subject.
- Someone says- 'what's up?' and you say '... I'm fine thank you....'

:D

You might be an aspie if...

Gaining a new special interest feels like falling in love
Losing a special interest feels like breaking up a relationship (even if you've never actually been in a relationship before)

In other words... if you treat your hobbies so seriously that they feel like they're your lover, then you might be an aspie! :wink:
