If you collect Roger Bannister memorablia. (I have a commemorative coin from the 50th anniversary of his race at Iffley Road.)

If you are 42 years old, American, and recognize the name "Iffley Road."

If you literally use your hand to mix cake mix because the directions said to stir by hand.

Even if you have regular pets, but a large number of them, as I do (9 cats, 1 dog), people will say, "You have HOW MANY CATS?"

When assembling new items (furniture, electronics, computers, etc...), you ignore the directions and "do it the way you think it should be put together"...

You might be an Aspie...

...if you perfected your keyboarding skills by typing on an imaginary typewriter.

...if you go to a store to buy something, and are so bewildered by the selection of items that you give up and go home.

...if, after going to a store, giving up, and going home, you go back to the same store the next day, give up and go home.

...if you plan on going on vacation, but change your mind because you don't have anyone to go with.

...if you know what's on TV at any time of the week (before cable).

If you wear a heavy watch partly because since it is heavy you know if you left it off!

If, when your alarm clock goes off, you envision yourself pressing the snooze button and are surprised when the alarm doesn't stop. (I'm guilty of this.)

and if you set your watch by WWV, and also know how many seconds it is off right now.

You know the birthdates of all of your favorite Olympic athletes.

If upon getting a new and complex (to you) thing, you read the instructions and then rehearse your opening actions with that thing

If you cannot grok rules of thumb - but have to understand what is behind the knobs

If you clean up and defrag your HD each time you leave the net

If you spent the time to understand your new (used) FRG - 7's (radio) wadley loop demodulation system

if you understand it as basically a triple conversion superhet crossed with a PLL and early MOOG systhisizer

If your 'frog" runs at the same time as your wide band scanner - during work

If you listen to radio more than four hours per day

if you dream of ICOM products

If you like radio and the net 'cause they are "impersonal personal" forms of commo

If you've read over ten thousand books

This thread is now teh 666!! !! !

You have a photographic memory of complex URLs, like "http://www.homestarrunner.com/games/stinkogame/v7/stinkogame.htm."

or if you could not remember that if your life depended on it

man! I can't remember it right now
and I like homestar

"what?"

...when someone takes you to a gun show to tell them exactly which armory a rifle came from.

...when people say: You! What parts on a rambler are from who?

..When you have four PHDs, are 38 and ask your 8 year old brother how to spell: "colage". You also make ten times your parents do in there whole life in one year, yet you still live with them, because you spent all the money on your "casual" gaming PC.
