You may be an Aspie if:

... only your favorite pet understands you.

... you've invented your own language, but don't know anyone that you'd want to teach it to.

... it takes you 15 minutes to explain where the paper goes in the copier.

... it's easier to wear the same clothing every day than it is to choose from a closet full of different colors and textures.

... it is obvious to you why the trees should cry, but it's embarrassing to explain it.

... you can't remember the faces of your cousins, but you know the names of each of your Lego people.

... you don't know whether to click Preview and risk forgetting what you were originally trying to say, or click Submit and risk having to go back and re-edit your post.

....you drew a picture of the people you are obsessed with, laminated it, stuck it in a nice frame and put it on the wall or on your desk.

...if you need a minute before you can answer the question "How are you?".

(most of these are history-related jokes)

You know you're an Aspie when someone mentions Chamberlain, and you think of the British prime minister.

You know you're an Aspie when someone mentions Bourbon, and you think of the French monarchy.

You know you're an Aspie when someone mentions Smirnoff, and you think "in Soviet Russia..."

(Floridians will understand this one)

You know you're an Aspie when someone says they're from St. Petersburg, and you say, "Oh, so you're from Russia."

I got here late?

You know your an aspie when you can't win a conversation due to the things you would say being beyond their immediate comprehension.

instead of typical girly things, your purse contains 2 rubik's cubes, a megaminx, a graphing calculator, and a pair of binoculars for looking at the stars.

Your know yor an aspie when
-a girl puts her arm out to get a hug and you shake her hand.
-you play with a friends dog more than the COD game she has on.
-you figure out all 34 tieing tic-tac-toe games and google to find out there are 26,000 total endings.
-your call your 2 year old cat who you named "Alice" "kitten" instead.
I'm not very good at social situations as the first two show, there have also been many more.

...when you don't feel right in anything except a black t-shirt.

...when you want to melt down when someone doesn't drive the "correct" route.

...when you end up in the looney bin because they mowed on a Wednesday and they normally mow on Tuesday's

You know you're an aspie when... you get annoyed when someone sits in your favorite chair.

- when you are irritated, for hours, because one of your weekly TV series is rescheduled because of a sports event.

- when you stay after school every day just to ask a bunch of physics questions your teacher can't answer.

- when you can't do work in school, because of the noise and numerous conversations, so every other week you skip a day to catch up on work/relieve yourself built up of social pressure/anxiety.

- when you pace for 5 minutes at the start of a class because you need everybody else to sit down before you can sit, even though you already have a chosen seat.

- when instead of socializing at lunch, you have four 1,000 page textbooks you're sorting through to look for one obscure topic.

- when you are either very early for a deadline or very late.

- when everybody fixes their grammar around you so they don't have to hear you correct them. (See, in the long run fixing people's grammar actually does help! )

- when you spend hours making lists and schedules, but end up not doing half the things on the list or schedule because of unforeseeable events, then you panic for hours because you didn't accomplish all you set to do, in total - wasting a bunch of time.

- when your peers call you "spock."

when the worst part of traveling is the way every other shower nozzle doesn't spray like the one at home.

You know you're an aspie when...

-You spend hours concentrating on your special interest, only to find you had to be somewhere two hours earlier, but you'd forgotten all about it.

-When every time you go outside, you feel like you're acting.

-When everything has to be perfect/the way it should be, otherwise it bothers you.

-When you regularly catch yourself rocking without realising it

-When everybody thinks you're weird for wearing heavy/large clothes (for sensory reasons.)

when you dwell on the same subject over and over again or repeat yourself to the same person you talked too.
