You go to the store for shopping and instead find yourself holding a cuddly toy that is for sale, while gazing off into space.

You find yourself stimming badly and tensing up inside when someone sits next to you on the bus.

You have to take your hairband off because it is hurting the side of your head.

You have to wash your hands everytime you have anything remotely sticky on it.

The idea of a nightclub fills you with horror.

You write a note to yourself to get something from the store and still forget once you get there lol.

You check the information on the backs of food items.

You find yourself wearing the same jumper/pants every day for a week.

That is definitely me! :lol:

You are an Aspie when you get ready to take a shower and end up spending
two hours in front of your computer stark naked playing in the Boobah Zone :lol:

http://www.boohbah.com/zone.html

Ok, this might amuse some... because I have seen boobahs used to describe a certain area of female anatomy...I instantly thought... hmm, why would anyone play with their boobahs in front of their mirror?? you see, I didn't see the word 'computer', I saw mirror first, which is very odd!! So I checked your link, wondering if I was going to find a page full of pictures of BOOBahs, only to see an odd game thing :lol:

Methinks I must be sleepy tonight, lol.

Anyway, how does that game work, it looks odd...

Just click on anything that makes a noise when the cursor passes over it.
I found this on a Poll thread started by Maldoror a couple of weeks ago,
I bookmarked it and I've been hooked since! :!:

You wear pyjamas any day you don't have to go out. All day.

(I wear mine sometimes from Wednesday afternoon, when I get home from class, until Monday morning.)

You can run library fines in the 50-60$ range

Is that all? My library fines ran to hundreds if not thousands of dollars. :oops:

I never have library fines because the one thing I keep close tabs on is what I have out of the library and when it is due (and also when books are ready for pick-up, which is the best feature of the library system with the exception of interlibrary loan which I'm convinced is a close to perfection as you can get in a service).

You might be as aspie if you haven't done so because other things were far more interesting. (I'm an undergrad and I should be working on a philosophy paper but WP and my book on autism are more interesting....).

You know you're an Aspie if when you were little, you were so mad you didn't know how to read yet, that you took a geology book and made up dialog for EVERY page starting with the title page.

And it took hours and hours and hours to do.

....and hours and hours.

And I swear it all made sense. :idea:

I don't remember not knowing how to read.

I keep asking my boyfriend to do this and he won't. He says it's not funny that way but it's not funny if you don't know that someone's joking either.

Collect old atlases and reference books. I have copy of the 1771 edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
I even bookmarked the "Online 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica":

OMG!
A couple of years back a friend's relative came out from MI. He brought a pix of a high performance tricycle to show me. I gave about two minutes of technical exegesis.

Later I was told sternly that I had hurt the boy' feelings. If you want me to behave in a specific way - tell me! I still feel badly about the incident. . .and many others.

At the library where I work, any fines are automatically waived, one of the perks of working there. As I read pretty fast, I always bring the books back ahead of time.

You may be an Aspie if you are working on a book about your cats.

You might be an Aspie if you have your first date with your spouse in months and find the highlight of the evening was discovering the huge slug on the floor of the garage. :lol:

You might be an Aspie if...

You buy reels of gift-wrapping ribbon because it's the best thing to stim with.

Your neighbor in your dorm hears you throwing a fit, and knows to knock on your door to help you find your keys.

You refuse to go to Wal-Mart because the parking lot alone makes your brain melt.

You throw a fit because a helicopter or chirping cricket outside your window is keeping you awake.

You can't sleep without a gigantic box fan on its highest setting.

You wanted a "wooden bird" for Christmas when you were 9, so you could start a "wooden bird" collection. You were disappointed when you received a portable CD player instead.

Your friends and family are surprised if you call them, and they know if they want to talk they usually have to call you.

You were known as the "weird girl" for constantly telling people in the dorm to "please keep it down."

The texture of food is more important than the taste.

You look up the ingredients of your body wash on line to read about their chemical properties.

In elementary school you were the kid with "behavior problems."

You are asked a question in public and the person with you automatically answers for you.

You spend hours reading about whichever pet you own at the time.

.

This definitely applies to me. Luckily for my friends most of them can contact me through instant messaging or email and know that I probably will reply. My family is another story. They still expect me to call even though it's pretty clear that I don't.
