I'd say this is an NT thing; aspies are not that jumpy about stuff that does not involve socializing (right?)


You're right, that is not specifically an Aspie thing, don't know why I wrote that like that for. :? :)

You might be Aspie if....

....you'd rather stay home on Friday nights and Saturday nights and write stories on your computer, than to go out socialising, even if you get offered the chance. Then you do your own ''socialising'' when you get into bed, by watching DVDs of the Simpsons and making out you have gone into their ''world'' and find it easier to ''live'' the Simpsons society than it is your own

....you need to work part-time because you feel that full-time will be too much pressure for you, and time alone is more important than earning a bit more money

....you catch the 08.15am bus to avoid the crowds - even if it means getting up extra early and having to pay more (due to peek times), you'll still rather pay more than get on the later morning buses where more people get on

....(for Aspie ''winter haters'') it is coming to the end of July and you're already panicking about autumn and winter coming because the cold temperatures and snow and ice makes you feel very unsettled (even though the snow months don't arrive 'til at least November)

I was known for my younger brother or just known as "that wierd dude".

My younger siblings were known because of me; who was known as 'that weird chick' by those in my year (often said fondly to be fair), 'that friendly one' by those younger than me, and 'that smart one' by the teachers.
I think they found it annoying.
It's interesting for me because, as I have such poor facial recognition, I don't know half these people who consider me some kind of legend. >.>

You might be an Aspie if...

...someone tells you their plan for the day and your response is to reorganize it so that it can happen more efficiently.

....you was up half the night looking for your earplugs, because you can't go to sleep without your earplugs next to you, in case you need them when your cat miaws loudly in the early hours of the morning, and you can't bear to then be awake hearing bomps of bangs of people getting up.

It's allways winter in the UK, I feel sorry for you (and not just for the never ending winter )

You might be an Aspie if you have to take a second to calculate how long you should microwave something so it will be thoroughly cooked by the time you stop it on your favorite number.

You might be an Aspie if you spend five minutes writing and editing a post but only two minutes on a statistic problem from an upper division college class.

You might be an Aspie if you have your own custom radio station playing in your head 24/7/365.25.

You might be a paranoid Aspie if you constantly wonder if the NTs around you can hear said radio station.

You might be an Aspie if you have a subscription to Netflix just so you can watch all of the documentaries on tornadoes and serial killers.

Now to get back to reading through the rest of the thread...


Glad to hear its not just me that gets freaked when the person next to me on the tube starts humming the song that's going through my head :D

You wonder who the untouched aspie woman are and wonder if they'd like to share a curiosity with you they don't have to be particulary good looking (6-7) and remember guys our 7 is probably a 3-4 by NT standards :wink: back in the day I was ridiculed when I said Rikki Lake was "cute" even as a fatso (she's looking really good these days) but I'm being silly I wouldn't want to share a curiosity with any one even with you, as they say "curiosity killed the cat" :P

You know you're an aspie when you go to lunch at 11 every day instead of 12 just so you can avoid the lunch crowd. And if you can't leave at 11, you wait until 1pm for the same reason. :lol:

If someone is telling you about his/her troubles in life during 7 or 8 minutes, you are making a very fake smile because you are not that interested in the little domestic problems of a boring person who you barely know, and while he or she is talking to you, starts your anxiety, you loose the eye contact and it begins... you start watching the walls, your clothes, the floor, the door! while he or she is yet talking, but hey, maintaining the fake smile.
