You Might be an Aspie if...

Haha, I get that as well. You're just waiting for it to happen or sometimes when you download music off file sharing sites and it has a little tune intro before the song and you're so used to it that the song sounds weird without it.

You think people who buy branded clothes are stupid shallow and boring.

when changes in a website layout, even small changes, drive you crazy!

(facebook and youtube)

Definitely! Facebook changes their layout almost every month. I don't go on it nearly as much as I used to just because of the format. You Tube deleted my old account that I've had since 2005 for some reason when they changed their layout so I had to create another account.

You don't give some one a standing ovation and get goose bumps under a "introductions" thread simply for the fact that member had a Prudy face and lots of eduction, and many of you did.(most popular member of all time in fact)

Unlike most of you in that thread I instead thought good for her for being ovarian lottery winner .

You wonder whats the point ?

I'm sorry , unless his Mr Perfect why not show him the door?

^This^ but about girls

...it doesn't matter your gender, you hate it when people take forever to say goodbye at parties.

You wish there were more hours in the day so you could research and learn more about your favorite subjects/obsessions.

Oh yeah that's just painful.


I would say so, but I also need to sleep at some moment.

By the way, you live in Russia or is it a historical reference ?

You know you're an Aspie when the following conversation sounds familiar to you:

New Acquaintance- "So, what do you do for fun?"
Me- "Well, I read a lot."
NA- "Oh, cool! I like to read, too! What genre do you like?"
Me- "Nonfiction, mostly."
NA- "Nonfiction? What is that? You mean like, biographies?"
Me- "No. I mean nonfiction. Like linguistics, psychology, geography... You know, things that are real. Or things based on true stories, of which biographies can count, but I'm not particularly into them."
NA- "...Oh..."

(Why do so many people assume anything "nonfiction" must be like a boring school textbook, anyway? How is it possible that people don't realize all the fascinating books that make up my favorite section of the library? )

Because I'm young and tend to believe the best of people until proven otherwise. Also, if being criticized by those that say they care about me is all I've ever known, it would seem unreasonable to expect somebody to just accept everything about me. Nobody else ever had before. One of the thoughts that really stings me when I'm depressed is of my mom asking me, "Why can't you just be normal?!"



I never understood why people wanted to advertise a brand on their clothes, anyway. Don't they realize that usually companies pay for advertising? Instead, they've created this sweet deal for themselves where they not only not pay for advertising, but they charge you to advertise for them! If you spent so much as a penny for a shirt with a company logo on it, that company is laughing at what a fool you are, and (in my opinion) rightfully so!

Whoa. Whoa whoa whoa. You just blew my mind. I never even thought of such things as "stim toys" before. That completely makes sense! I used to have several stim toys (including the pin-print board) and I used to imagine that if I ever worked at a desk job, my desk would be covered in such things. For the ones that move (like the ones that have water on top and some colored, hydrophobic liquid on the bottom, and it either moves around like waves or can be flipped upside-down until it drains like an hourglass), I thought it would be funny to set them all into motion and place them around the room just before inviting someone into my office. It would be a funny atmosphere for such a serious place. Wow. I'm just so amazed again. "Stim toys" is just the perfect categorization for them...

That does make me curious. Do you consider Silly Putty to be a stim toy? Because I used to sneak it into school with me when I was a kid, playing with it under my desk so my teacher couldn't see. I would pull it into a long line, chop it into little pieces with scissors, then pick up a piece and tap it to the others so they would all stick together... then pull it into a long line, chop it with scissors, repeat... I just thought it was really fun to do.

when you get excited thinking about playing with your giant physical therapy band thingy and red graph paper notebook that makes the same noise when the pages are flipped as the rubber band

i am going to go get my notebook now (which has been blank for several years now, only ever used to flip and listen to and feel the weight of..i love my red graph paper notebook....)

Exactly!
Also: -When you watch the Seniors do a symbolic class gesture all year, and only realize what it means when you see it on the program for a special service honoring their class.
-When you freak out if someone sits in your seat ... in a class with no assigned seating.
-When you almost have a meltdown if someone makes you write with a pencil that you don't think is sharp enough. <Dull pencils... >
-When you avoid the cafeteria at the beginning of lunch because it is too crowded.
-When your teachers have to give you special help thinking inside the box...
