You Might be an Aspie if...

... if you use bookmarks not to remember the URLs of your favorite webpages-- you know THOSE by heart-- but to remind you which webpages you will want to read.

... if you thought the "smelling toilet paper" one was perfectly obvious, like looking at your kleenex. (It provides a health status to which you are normally oblivious)

... if, after being absent from this forum for a while, you came back because you had to read this thread again.

I don't know if this is just me but...

You might be an Aspie if you refuse to use the elevator (or escalator) and insist on walking up ten flights of stairs.
You might be an Aspie if you submit a post but have to edit it 20 times to make sure everything is correct.

I'm facinated by elevators. I can just sit in them all day and not get bored in the slightest.

Now I've got to edit my post again, noticed it says "but have you edit it" in the last line instead of "but have to edit it". Ironic, right?

You might be an Apsie if:

you make up on going movies in your head, with your own characters.

At least 4 times I got the wrong order because I thought I would change things, and they gave me what I usually ordered!

Steve

When I worked at a pizza place, we had a guy who placed the same order the same three nights a week for carryout. One day he forgot to order, which he realized as he showed up.... and we'd made his pizza anyway.

You live by your own rules and you don't take orders from other people.

cool, me its door parts have you thought of becoming an elevator mechanic???

you might be an Aspie if:
you would rather have a sails person look at you quisickly as you run away from them across the store, rather than say, no thanks I dont need any help.

If you hold out entire 30 minute phone conversations with a loved one without saying much more than, um and yeah.

If you could name and point out any one of your boyfriends friends or family members pets but you cant remeber many of the owners names and probebly wouldent recocnize them if they walked into you.

If your best friend name is Toshiba or Dell.

If you wake up in the middle of the night to change the sheets because the texture of the new ones is not right.

If you can hold out for a 2 hour "conversation" about video games and not notic that the other person is not listening, (or not care).

If picking witch check out lane to use takes as long as shoping.

YMBAAI you have just stopped reading this thread at the cheese discussion (page 12) and it was OT enough to break the pattern. (I'll finish the thread later).

YMBAAI you now have become quite good at recognising when to stop talking (the person you were talking to has emigrated, or turned into a duck, or was a duck to start with... I forget which).

YMBAAI you are uncomfortable socialising with your imaginary friends. (OK. I made this one up. I don't have any imaginary friends.)

Haha! I love the one about the pets. I did that to my neighbor after living across the street from her for four years. I did it at her work no less! I had no clue who she was even though I talk to her all the time when she walks her dogs. I'm always down near the ground playing with them. Anyway, she said hello to me and I said hello without looking up. She said, You live across the street from me. Blank look. She gets that look people do when I don't recognize them so I start to get anxious. Then, she mentions the Yorkies and I smile and get all excited and ask how they are. When I left, I still couldn't tell you what she looked like or what her name was.

I also do the phone thing!

If sales people talk to me, I get the deer in the headlights look and abruptly leave. I never pick out the checkout line because I rarely go into stores and I can't remember doing that alone when I've done it.

I don't touch the sheets. That is OCD husband domain. I won't show this to him or he'll have a new rule and wake me up at 2 A.M.

I rarely talk to people unless they initiate it, so they won't stick around if they are bored. I often stand up and say, Okay, we're done. Sometimes it's chitchat or emotional and I can't deal with that. It's like an affront to my ears or something. It's similar to loud clanging noises to me. Very strange.

I can relate to that a bit. i like to talk though and i know some other aspies that like to also, I have been involved in more than one conversation that went somthing like this.

"We got a new dog the other day his name is jack and...."
"I am getting a new truck"
"so as i was saying we got jack from the SPCA..."
"its red, needs some work but.."
"and he is really well behaved."
"dads gunna help me with it."

and so on......
also been a part of the kind where you just sit and listen about the truck, or video game.....what is it with aspie guys and cars? i can name four off the top of my head that are completly obsessed.....

No, I have othere things I wanna do. That doesn't mean I don love them though. XD

YMBAAI you also read the whole thread (the last 4 hours listening to the 24 minute Lexx soundtrack on repeat, so, now halfway through the ninth time).

Hey! Stop picking at my edits! LOL
