You Might be an Aspie if...

Sorry SolaCatella, I didn't mean to make anyone feel uncomfortable, and thanks for pointing it out, I corrected it, thankfully my daughter won't see the mistake, she gets embarrased when reading my posts because of the incorrect spelling or grammer. If anyone else sees any incorrect points in my posts please let me know, thanks.

I'm a female. Red is my favourite colour and Velvet my favourite material.

You tell a fellow aspie that he has beautiful long eyelashes. Pandora this is so sweet.
So what happened??

I just don't eat at all. I don't get hungry, usually, until I get home (I don't eat breakfast either). I had a muffin/biscuit thing for breakfast. I don't really think about eating. I usually forget to eat or just don't eat anything altogether. Pretty much the only thing I will eat without much complaint is pizza. My mom yells at me and says it's unhealthy not to eat anything but pizza, but I don't care much.

You're the mom of an aspie if ....

you can watch your son board the school bus wearing a tshirt and shorts on a 40 degree day and not flinch

you can watch your son board the school bus wearing a flannel shirt and sweat pants on an 80 degree day and not flinch

your son showers and dresses at night and sleeps fully dressed because heaven knows he'd never see the inside of school if he had to do it in the morning

you think the invention of tagless tees is waaay better than sliced bread

you know more than anyone in your zip code about _______ (trains, dinosaurs, weather....)

you know not to plug anything in or turn anything on until you've checked to make sure all its parts are there and its all together (again)

the day you'll treasure most was the first time your child looked in your eyes and said I love you mom.

you wouldn't trade your bright, quirky aspie child for any other kid on any planet!

It wasn't that bad--I see the same mistake all the time on the net and you eventually (unfortunately) get inured to it, but it bugs me. I'm a bit of a stickler.


...if you're still doing this at age fifteen and show no signs of getting bored of it despite having this interest since you first began to crawl.

...or if you consider dogwatching way more fun than anything else on car trips. (OH MY GOD IT'S A BEAUCERON!)

...if you actually know what a Beauceron is without consulting a reference and can name the family of breeds it probably descends from.

Jekyll- Hah. I just eat Rice Krispies because it's the only school food I can stand and my mom worries about me even though I swear I eat because she thinks I'm going to become anorexic. I don't get hungry! It's not my fault! She does make me eat lunch, dinner, and generally some kind of breakfast every day. (And I live mostly on chocolate milk, grabbed veggies, and the aforementioned Krispie Treats as well as whatever meat's for dinner.)

Yep! Very true of me.

Or on the bus route for us nondrivers. Not yet but I've only been in town for five days and one hour and forty eight minutes.

If you live in a zoo.

Your favorite page in an intruction book is the one with the exploded views with all the part numbers

Those ARE my favorite pages!

.....if you would rather read the auto repair manual and see the specs on your car or any repair manual then a novel or story.

and yes part's i love them books too with exploded veiws of things
my dad has a couple of them on allison transmissions for big trucks. as soon as they were delivered he looked through it quickly then i spent the next 2 days reading it lol. i personally dont like transmissions that much but just want to see whats new with them.

Nobody else can operate anything you own (appliances, drive your car, etc) because it all has quirks and oddities in it's operation (due to frequent dissasembly, and modification) that you've just gotten used to

.........if when chatting on IRC you can identify someone clearly by their hostmask(mig29fulcrum for example)


....if when you hire a contractor to do work on your house you are watching over his shoulder like a hawk

.......if you actually watch an automatic garage door go up or down(if i had a garage door opener that would be me)

.......if the first thing you do after FIOS (fibor optic high speed internet by verizon online) is installed you go to your modem/router's ip address and look at its properties and settings and new features!!

......if you can identify door hardware or anything by its shape or cheractoristics without looking for a manufactuer's name.

When you keep digging and digging and increasingly large hole in the ground just so you can find the "cool rocks".

Believe me, that was hard to explain to my dad when he tripped in it. I was fascinated with Quartz and diamonds at the time, and I wanted to find some rocks to figure out what kind they were.

he heh heh you would love were i live. our house was built over a cinder dump(were china and bricks were dumped and glass years ago) one day i went into back yard came back in with doorknobs and a few cabinet hinges and old coca cola bottles (the old swirl green ones)

knowing that i have found hinges and knobs hmm makes me want to get a metal detector try my luck at finding old door closers and hinges as well as knobs

ooo forgot one, you and your friends host internet speed tests using speakeasy.net
