...you have more friends online than in real life, simply because it's easier for you to communicate through text than through speech.
...regardless of the line above, if you tell anyone that, they tend to think you're a loser.
...you often encounter words that you know how to spell, define, and conjugate... and yet you have no idea how it's pronounced because you've never heard somebody say it out loud before.
...you warn people that if they try to tickle you, you cannot be held responsible for any injuries that result from it. (I swear, my legs kick from reflex. I can't control it.

)All of this, seconded.
Also:
...when you get irate when your computer does something you didn't explicitly tell it to do.
...you never notice you're sick or hurt until someone else points it out.
...you have no idea what mental silence is like.
...you react with horror at the suggestion you cut your hair.
...you feel worse for being irritated at your pets than at your housemates; after all, the humans know what they did.

i do not know how to swim though, AND,
i may sink by societal standards, but I think
i am swimming by Jesus' standards : )
actually i know i am because scripture says
it is impossible to please God without Faith,
and i do have faith, also when we believe in
Jesus, God (who is Jesus, it can get weird),
God, the Father, is pleased as he sees Jesus
when he sees us, who have faith, and God the Father
said to Jesus, this is my beloved son, with whom I am well pleased.
: )
hope your day is nice if you're reading this lostgirl and everyone
It was meant as a joke because a lot of aspies can't swim...I can't swim either. I hope I didn't offend anyone.

Swimming is probably one of my biggest traumas. ^^
I avoid it all the time. I haven't been swimming since 2004. The year I learned to swim. When I was 15.
I never associated swimming or sports with fun. It always requires "effort".

"I think, therefore I am", after all.
You know you're an aspie when a song you really like comes on the car radio just as you park and, even if you're running late, you absolutely must sit and listen to it in its entirety before turning off the car and getting out (even if it irritates others.)

You know you're an aspie when...
...your family has a get-together and you immediately go to play with the kids, because you know they'd rather do something that's actually interesting, whereas the adults just want to blah blah blah about each others' lives. (Luckily, the adults love having an automatic babysitter, so you might not get bothered by them. )
...you understand children better overall, since they're still very curious about the world, they take note of little things, and they want to learn stuff, which you can completely relate to.
(I know those won't work for people who don't like kids. However, I know kids and I both have a fascinated view of the world, which makes them much more interesting than their parents are!)

People know what to get me, but it's usually so obscure, they often have to ask where to get it and sometimes can't even pronounce it. ...people always know what to get you as a gift without having to ask.

And wow I was just thinking about this when I was recalling my conversation with a psychologist.
I agree with 100% of what you said.
You know you're an aspie when...
Your nephew who has been diagnosed officially with AS several times says "You know you might have AS too."
