...a member of your family is in denial of you having mental health issues.

If you take everything seriously-----even though it's obvious that some things are a joke.

Some do this and then others blame everything on autism. If you disagree with them about something, it’s because you’re on the spectrum.

Both stances are maddening.

you think that denial is something only reserved for NT's and become the subject of your own denial.

Huh?

Do you mean ...that you're in denial about the fact that in your denial? :lol:

you love circular logic, paradoxes and oxymorons.

I like the latter two; I can't stand "circular logic." it irritates me. Just get to the point.

You might be an Aspie if.....a girl shows off her hairy underarms and rubs up against you.....and you have no idea she's interested in you.

...when you're the last person in your class to know that someone is interested in you...by being told that directly by others.

...other people tell you that someone is interested in you just so they can watch in amusement while that person rips you a new one for having the audacity to even speak to that person.

Humm...that doesn't fit my experience.

On one of those occasions, I did receive love letters later.

On another occasion, that classmate directly admitted it. Although I'm not "the only one he's interested in".

...people ask you what someone else is thinking, or why someone else did/said something, when you have no clue at all.

...people refuse to accept it when you say, "I don't know".

My Mum does that. I answer "If you don't know then how do I know?"

But how is that related to aspergers syndrome as no one knows what someone else is thinking. All one can do is guess but it would not be accurate as they could be thinking all sorts of things!

Seems to have happened to me most of my life, and when the few times someone then asks directly I am often so surprized that I say "No" because though I want to say "Yes" I was not mentally prepared enough to be asked. (No avoids the thinking and assessing part of it if that makes sense?)

But is this a being on the spectrum trait or is it just not picking up on hints or clues?

Haha. Neither do I. That makes two of us!
