Yup, or notice you're the only one with fingers in ears when the fire alarm test goes off at work (seriously, why does no-one else there think it unbearable ?)


And you wonder how people don't worry when a dog with a loud bark barks in the same room as them when somebody knocks at the door or something. God - it's torture for me - I have to put my fingers in my ears and keep them there until the dog calms down. Others get annoyed too, but they don't sit there with their fingers in their ears. How do they manage to endure such a loud sudden sound? It's beyond me!

Also, if you get angry about 40-year-old women who have babies born ''normal'', because your mum was a young 25-year-old with no birth problems and yet you were born ''abnormal''. (And women over a certain age are more at risk, which is why it annoyed you).

If by "normal" you mean illogical, overemotional, and have a lower IQ, than I don't understand why somebody would be angry about that.

You might be an aspie if:

You can practically recite pi backwards, but can't remember where u put your keys.

People chewing sounds like nails on a chalkboard.

You can hear a person in the next room tapping their foot.

You cannot wear rubber bands on your wrist. (This personally bothers me to no end.)

Your therapist is your only friend... and they still might not get you.

You can't lie on your back with your hair in a pony tail because it inches too much.

You think it has only been minutes when you've spent hours researching your special interest.

You think trends are completely pointless.

Your mom actually has to beg you to go shopping.

People tell you your room is a mess, but it's in order for you.



That's all I can think of now.... I'm so tired!

"Did I write that?" was the first thought that came to my mind after reading your post.

Because it's the majority. And most NTs have higher IQ than me.

Makes you say this:


You can't recite Pi backwards because it is an irrational number, neither terminating nor repeating and thus has no last digit with which to go backwards from.

... if you going to be angry when on five red cars a blue one follows and so the uniformity deletes.

... if you don`t like when people without reason want to hug you.

... you feel like saying "Good Dog!" to everybody when they do something right as your only social life is with your dog...

... you have to sort everything in your pantry based on their plant family and in order of they scientific name as everything is labelled (My labels have the French/English/Latin/Chinese names and the family - I'm a plant scientist...)

... you meet a girl you find interesting and the only thing you can tell her is that you finally found a specimen of your favourite tree on campus and you spent 10 minutes wanting to hug it and took some flowers to dissect them in the bus...

... you stop wearing your glasses as you can use that as an excuse if you don't see people from far away (Best way to avoid them!)

... you keep coming back at work after you're done to bring edible wild plants to your labmates and you think they really want to know the names of all the chemical compounds that create their aroma...

... your supervisor gives you a summary for your project and the only thing you can do is correct the spelling mistakes

... your supervisor tries to give you a solution for a problem you encounter while making your fertilizer mixture but you keep saying "no you're wrong" before she even starts talking as you spent 15 hours during the weekend trying every possible solution a human brain can think of...

... your peers ask you a question instead of looking in their notes but they start regretting it as you spend 10 minutes explaining to whole issue with more details than an encyclopedia

... you get drunk on alcohol vapors from your friends' drinks and you just shutdown as the disco lights + the music + people touching you cause a sensory overload and you only want to leave for a "bathroom break" to recover

That's it for now...

YMBAAI-

-You have a conversation and hours later, you think of a reply.
-You are with someone and you think of something that you need to say...five minutes later, you can't remember if you've actually said it or not, that happens to me everyday.
-You always have other people finish your sentence for you because you can't remember the word or name for something, even if it's something that you use all the time.
-You had to write down what page you got to in this thread, before you forgot what you wanted to post.

- You pick up a conversation that you had with someone weeks before at the exact point that you left off.

If you've successfully made through 112 pages of this thread and just have to look at that link, try to open it in a new tab, only to see that it's locked and you have to be invited to read it...and that makes you want to scream because now you have to know what you're missing!
