Post Reply New Topic

if you have collected dictionary.com's word a day for the past four years

if you analyze a joke to the point where the person gives up trying to tell it to you

if you've read all pages of this topic

If you have a 365 Cats a Year desk calendar.

If you find yourself starting a lot of your social sentences with 'this is probably a really geeky thing to remember/notice, but' or ending them with, 'actually, that was kind of an over-analysis'.

.......if you look at my avator and think symantec,

........if you can talk about computers to a professional computer repair tech and hes impressed by your knowlege and hes had more training then you.

........if the computer tech mentioned above pm's or ims you asking for help and your solutions work and sometimes better then the training the tech recieved in college.

If, with the said cat a day desk calendar, you set aside pages of cats that look like yours.

If, with the said cat a day desk calendar, all the cats in it are yours.

You set me up for that!

if you just spent five hundred on a smartphone. even though you cannot really afford it. so that you can return to WP.

I have thought of sending pictures of my own cats for that calendar. I think they would make very good-looking calendar cats.

LOL

-Electricity - I was re-wiring at 6 does that count for ten pioonts!

When I first read the post I though I was going to be singing

If your a aspie and you know it... clap your hands ... cthut! clthut!



anyway if your an aspie you might...

See the curvature of the Earth..
See the stars rotating at night, therfore feel the earth rotating.
Tell the time to the nearest five minutes without a watch (sometimes to the nearest minute!)
Notice the actual MASS of the sun, not just the bright glowing light.
Read the writing on light globes (when their already installed and on)
Only wear distinct clothes based on texture.
Took up smoking not to fit in.

...and spends thier time on the WORNG PLANET !

...replies to irrelevant threads just to get to a certain number of posts, because that number matters more than anything...

...anybody who thinks they have AS probably has it, because who would WANT to be a member of our club if they had a choice? I mean, we're known as the clumsy, social misfits who only care about numbers and are incapable of empathy (not that we are any of those things, just that that is what the public has been led to believe).

I still don't get why people say to me, "nah, you're not autistic", as if I'm making it up, or have a choice in the matter. (Shakes head)

When you watch tv and research what they are talking about.

When you watching a movie and have to research the actors IMDB.com page as the movie is playing.

When your family tells you to go away.. because you have worn them out talking about 1 subject for days.

When your friends call you up and ask you to come help fix their computer. and have saved them tons of $ because of it.

you buy old broken computers on ebay to fix, or you drag someone's old computer home that they left out on the curb.

you buy a laptop on ebay to replace your desktop, then after buying it, no way are you going to stop using the desktop. the laptop will just be a computer you take with ya when your family drags you somewhere. or if you go visit a friend, you can type out what you want to say to them because you write better than you speak.

I'm surprised that most people don't.

YMBAI...

...you've slept on the floor because it's more comfortable.

...you have trouble using new/clean things:
*...you've slept on the floor because you just finished making your bed perfect.
*...you have trouble scooping the first serving out of foody items, such as ice cream.

...due to a mix of ADD/rote-only memory, and hyperlexia, you can read entire scripts instantaneously, and then, not remember any of it...

...you've ever dreamt in binary.

...you use colloquial abbreviations for archaic English. ("mayn't," "hath'et,")

...you love to thwack the coil door stoppers because the motion is neat and it makes a funny sound.

heh, I started smoking as my new year's resolution in 1993 because the second hand smoke dangers study came out and I felt the results were heavily flawed. So I started smoking because it said that second hand smoke was more dangerous that being a smoker.

I watched the movie Four Minutes with the enhanced trivia track-and knew most of the information about Roger Bannister already! I found it interesting that Roger Bannister took up running to find a sense of belonging. He often felt like an outcast because he was smart and shy. He also didn't think much of his athletic ability. Imagine that!

I did that about a week ago on the science,math & computers forum.
The thread was "Tesseract 47". It was my 53rd post and 53 has a mathematically
significant relationship to 47.
