You know you're an aspie when -- your shrink doesn't want to discuss all the aspie-like actions that screwed up your life. Of course the shrink says "You must think about the future."

Are all shrinks bureaucrats?

You know you're an aspie when someone gives you a present and you analyze the folds on the wrapping paper before you open it.

You know you are an aspie when . . .

you use words such as lexicon appropriately and regularly

you wonder why people do not know the word lexicon

find touching soft things irresistible

can remember every word of your favorite song but forget to change your shoes and end up in slippers on the store

cant remember to put on a bra but will keep a sketchbook with you at all times

fret over something said three weeks ago when no one remembers anymore

have your own system for storing spoons and plastic cups, but forget to do the dishes

when you practice for three hours on how to shake someone's hand say hello and what topics to engage in and when you see them all you can do is "O,O hello"

...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. :wink: )

...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!)


Agreed!

I actually did find this hilarious! =D Maybe it is aspie behaviour? Made me think of another one.

You know you are an aspie when . . . you can't understand what people are saying if you hear AND look at the at the same time!

You know you're an aspie when you're constantly late to things because you just have to finish reading that article or listening to that album.

You know you're are an aspie when....
...no one seem to notice your presence, or raise an eyebrow to your beg for help or answer back when you speak... until you mumble or do something awkward or stupid which of course is suddenly heard and seen with great attention by virtually everybody across the room

You know you're an Aspie when... you meet someone for the first time. The first question they ask is "do you have Autism?"

Agreed. Then 3 hours later I remember what I was going to say. :oops:

...You know vast amounts of information on nearly every subject, but have no idea how a social interaction is supposed to work.

...You compile a handbook of commonly used slang, social procedures, and the like, and yet still have the problem listed above.

...Everybody you know says you are exactly like Sheldon (Big Bang Theory) and you begin to wonder if the writers for the show are following you around looking for ideas.

You probably should clean that out, I rember once hearing a statistic (not sure of accuracy, sorry if its wrong, but it seems reasonable to me) which indicated 18000 lint induced dryer fires happen every year. Just saying.

You know you're an aspie when...

...Somebody asks you, "What are they building here?" and your response is, "A building."

...You find yourself analyzing every license plate on every car you see pass while riding the bus.

...You often have no idea what's so funny, but you do a forced chuckle because everyone else is laughing.

...You spend all day researching Southern California freeways on Wikipedia, and yet you don't drive or live in Southern California.

...You find the clock on the wall more interesting than what cute thing somebody's pet did today.

...People tell you that you always speak either too softly or too loudly, and you aren't even aware of it.

...You're confused when someone can't remember an event at all while you can remember it perfectly."

Yep.

You know you are an Aspie when you keep coming back to the WrongPlanet because you feel like you belong here.
