The NT - squishes the spider.
The Autistic - follows the spider and studies it.
The Aspie - follows the spider, looks at it for three minutes, then squishes it.
Not this one. I check the color of the spider and examine its back for markings that resemble a violin or "fiddle." If I do not see any, I presume it to be a common house spider or "wolf spider" and allow it to live, content in the knowledge that it is not dangerous to humans and glad that it will dwell within my domicile to consume flies and that brown marmorated stink-bug.
Get the joke???
Q: How many Aspies does it take to change a lightbulb??
A: Leave me alone. I can do this by myself. I'm not totally disabled. I said LET ME DO THIS. GO AWAY, Honey, you're stressing me out!! !!
A#2: Two-- one to change the lightbulb, and one to write a dissertation on the history of lightbulbs.
A#3: Just one-- but he'll spend the rest of the evening worrying about an electrical fire.
Did you know Aspies have their very own state?? It's "Huh?? Whyyyy--eee??" My hubby made up this one out of frustration with my CONSTANT need to know "why" in all matters of faith and human social behavior.
