You Might be an Aspie if...

Post Reply New Topic

Half a day goes by when you're having fun, and you never even notice.

You're an Aspie when someone's sat in the chair you've had for weeks in a class with no assigned seating... and you ask the person to move.

You're an Aspie when you frequently frustrate people out of politeness.

You're an Aspie when you love animals, not people.

You're an Aspie when you think you know someone you passed in the hallway but aren't sure because you only saw them from the waist down.

You're an Aspie when a stranger greets you in passing down the stairwell but you ignore them because it was completely unexpected.

You're an Aspie when you're actually quite verbose, but only with no one else in the room.

You're an Aspie when you've written down everything you intended to talk about prior to a phone call with a friend so as to avoid small talk.

That'd explain why family guy isn't funny, the writers are probably WP members


You're an Aspie when someone asks you if you notice something different about them and you keep checking the hair, while the person actually
- had her botox shots
- is visible pregnant
- is someone whose name you were supposed to remember

(two of these actually happened to me...)

You might be autistic if:
01. You hacked a school computer in kindergarten.
02. You learned to read before you could talk.
03. You like the number 42.
04. You are not nervous about public speaking because you are socially oblivious.
05. You earned college credit in math before you graduated from high school.
06. You use GNU/Linux.
07. You know that GNU is a joke about circular reasoning.
08. When everyone else laughs you are quiet and when everyone else is quiet you laugh.
09. You got in an argument with the cops and won.
10. You earned your first billion before the age of 30.
11. You have written more than three unpublished books.
12. You actually practice using the piano between weekly music lessons.

I thought I might come up with a list of positive characteristics about autism.

Please add your own ideas.

[Mod. edit: this post was moved with others from a newer thread, now removed, duplicating this older thread]

you like music so much you play guitar, tuba, piano, and violin.

You're such a completionist when it comes to collecting music that, instead of acquiring a few solo piano CD's by your favourite composer (Liszt), you get all 106.

You are reading this post in your underwear.
You are reading this post even when you do not find it interesting because you are a completionist.
You want to critique this post.
You talk at 5 words per minute but type at 500 words per minute.

You're almost 40, but look almost 30, feel almost 20, and remembered your own birthday almost 10 times without someone pointing it out to you...

You know every single receptor binding site of every single psychiatric drug in your Psychopharmacology textbook, which you have read six times over, even though the textbook is over 1,000 pages long.

All you spend your benefits on besides food and bills is textbooks on pharmacology, medicine, surgery, and similar topics.

You don't see anything wrong with reading a textbook called "Trauma Injuries" with colour photographs and descriptions while eating your lunch at the canteen at university (although you do see it wrong to eat in the canteen when it's noisy).

You spend your free time learning train maps, anatomy structures, digits of pi, etc.

You take the British National Formulary book everywhere you go just in case you get bored and need some emergency entertainment reading material.

My teachers used to come to me to hack in the system when they locked themselves out.

You absolutely despise your job because of the screaming repetition, but you just can't bring yourself to take shortcuts, even though no-one will ever notice if you do. (please kill me )

People watch you savour a simple sandwich and you look like you are enjoying it so much that they feel compelled to make one too, and wolf it down angrily because it does not taste anywhere near as good to them, as it apparently did to you.

You were diagnosed with autism

you liked Russian so much you majored in it(with no thought of a career)

Aww, I was going to say that.

If you spontaneously combust when your schedule is disrupted by 5 minutes.

Your neighboorhood calling for police, becus Your acting lika wasted when you just walking the dog in the middle of the night, in the middle of the street, blahblahblah no Peace to get

I got into an argument with the police and won.
Probably was a bad idea in retrospect.
