You know you're an aspie if...

you visit a historical site or museum and know more facts than the guide or curator.

you know a particular animals geological or 'evolutionary' age or era better than a Harvard Graduate (this really happened to me and I don't even believe in evolution).

you put music in alphabetical order but the rest of your room is in disarray.

you can carry on a conversation by using nothing but movie quotes or song lyrics.

You might be an Aspie if you used to wake up early to play computer games before school.

Of the origanls all exept the ones on driving and the mall apply to me.

Here is my try at it.

...the entire senor class asked you to come up with the best senior prank ever and you pulled through with flying colors.

...you have developed your own multiple personalites to be even stranger.

...you carry a Zippo, Swiss Army Knife, duct tape, and first aid kit on you at all times.

...you have a favorite brand of duct tape but you only buy solid color t-shirts from K-Mart or JCPenny's (which ever is cheaper).

...you have watched CNN at 3 A.M.

...you have watched C-SPAN for longer than five minutes.

...you rarely do your homework but have spent three hours at the local library to prove a teacher wrong on someting they said durring a lecture.

...you laugh when people say funny things like "Trust me."

...people come to your house for the first time and wonder where you hid all your drugs and drug parphelia at.

...you have ever used a snow shovel indoors to clean your room.

...you took chemistry a year early in high school so you could learn how to burn things better.

...you have taken up more than six hobbies up in a single weekend.

...you think Weird Al is your personal mesiah.

...you have deliberated theoretical phsics with a substitute teacher once and they never came back to your school again.

...you went to go see "X-Men: The Movie" when it came out and pointed out every false hood acording to each individual X-Men comic book series.

...in English class your teacher anouced the next book you will be reading and you raised your hand and told him "But I read that one already," and proceded to recite the book from the begining.

...your teachers were affraid of you.

...your parents gave up on making you stand in the corner until you were sorry really fast.

...your dentist suddenly packed up and moved to a diffrent state.

...the emergency room attedies know you on a first name basis.

...you have come up with your own origami patterns.

...you have left stories of lore about your self that have circulated through the high school for at least four or five years after you graduated.

...you have done marthon RISK, Monopoly, model building, TV watching, video game playing, reading, and/or electronics "maitnace" for upwards of eleven hours without leaving your chair once.

It is good I can make light of myself almost as much as I make fun of everyone else.

(Speaking of which it has been a long time since anyone has played a game of marathon game of RISK or Monopoly with me.)

...you went online for five minutes to check an e-mail and are still there five hours later

...you responded to a colleague announcing they were pregnant by saying 'was it planned?' whilst everyone else was saying 'congratulations', 'when's it due?'

...other kids at school only spoke to you when they needed to know the answer to a question in class

...all your cd's have to be the right way up in their cases

...you choose a coat to wear, not because of the weather or what it looks like, but because it has big pockets to carry all sorts of possible essential things in

You might be an aspie if you know how to replace hardware and troubleshoot in your computer, but can't figure out how to check your voicemail on your cell phone.

I can do minor stuff. Usually it ends in a reformatting though, heheh.

I work for the computer labs at my school, which have Macs, but I own a PC. I'm more familiar with PCs.

Surfing the web counts. I used to play on my old laptop at around four in the morning till eight on Age of Empires 1 and 2. That was until I turned eleven or something like that.

I was at the grocery store with my son when an adult I didn't know said hi to him and waved. He smiled back so I figued he knew her. Turns out she is the school librarian.

8O

He's never run into a class mate. At least as far as I know.

:P

if the JANITOR knew your classmates better than you

You get kicked out of school, and you have the school system screw up your life, yet you still keep a track of that school district's bus fleet.

Your favorite subject in school is the school bus.

All true!

That strikes a chord with me, busses are my biggest fixation. i.e.
Numbers to local buses:
9 Hampden
10 Brewer North
11 spare
12 spare
13 spare
0314 Capehart 1
0315 Capehart 2
0316 Center Street
0317 Stillwater
0318 Hammond Street
0319 Mt. Hope
(not counting the 03, the numbers skip 21-42, 1-8 are retired as are 40-42 and the 21-40 skip annoys me big time)
0120 Brewer South
43 Old Town 1
44 Old town 2
45 Mall Hopper
