I only ever speak in one tone.

Bread with out yeast? Bread with out bread?

GA you were very lucky not to get bulled. I went to a public school where they thought I was stupid because I couldn't write. I still can't write.

9. Thou shalt lack all tact and subtlety in delicate situations

Thou shalt lack all tack and subtlety!! ! Any situation

6. Thou shalt wear shorts in November because it feels comfortable

Singlets in the middle of winter does that count?

3. Thou shalt focus narrowly on an obscure subject

Thou shalt focus narrowly on obscure subjects

About the unleavened bread ... it's not healthy to eat it all year round. Flour+water=glue.

Great list; a true keeper except that I only eat store bought bread.

Last night as I was going to bed, I came up with the idea of a Ten Commandments for people with Asperger's syndrome. Here it goes:

1. Thou shalt stim.

2. Thou shalt use excessively formal and verbose language to speak thy mind.

3. Thou shalt focus narrowly on an obscure subject.

4. Thou shalt speak only in a monotone, even when excited.

5. Thou shalt make many faux pas on a first date.

6. Thou shalt wear shorts in November because it feels comfortable.

7. Thou shalt only eat unleavened bread. BECAUSE!

8. Thou shalt be oblivious to all celebrity gossip.

9. Thou shalt lack all tact and subtlety in delicate situations.

10. Thou shalt always be misunderstood—and not as an angsty teenager is.

Absolutely!!

--No beefs there. I stim, therefore I am.

2. Thou shalt use excessively formal and verbose language to speak thy mind

--Do I do that??? :innocent face:

3. Thou shalt focus narrowly on an obscure subject

--Got that one covered as well.

4. Thou shalt speak only in a monotone, even when excited

--Unfortunately, check. Although when I am more comfortable and get excited my voice gets outta hand (and sometimes too loud when I'm trying to be funny).

5. Thou shalt make many "faux pas" on a first date

--Date? What is this?

6. Thou shalt wear shorts in November because it feels comfortable

--Nope, I wear pants ALL YEAR ROUND.

7. Thou shalt only eat unleavened bread

--Hmm... I have other food quirks but this is not one of them.

8. Thou shalt be oblivious to all celebrity gossip

--Yea verily, and turneth thine stomach when Entertainment Tonight cometh on.

9. Thou shalt lack all tact and subtlety in delicate situations

--Depends. I am sometimes tactful. But this is somewhat inconsistent.

10. Thou shalt always be misunderstood—and not as an angsty teenager is

--Check, check, check.

What about #11: "Thou shalt collect at that pleases thine eye until thou hast the entire collection"?

I don't know if I speak in monotone. I doubt I do, or someone would have told me. I do get complaints for reading out loud in mono.

What first date? (Prom doesn't count for me, it was with a friend rather than a romantic interest)

It is october 13th, and I am actually wearing shorts as I sit here and write.

Hmm... I would change monotone to "Thou shalt remove expression where expression is required, and add inflections where none exist in your speech", and change shorts to "Thou shalt dress for comfort, disregarding fashion entirely". Other than that: brilliant! Although I'm a tad confused about unleavened bread...
