You Might be an Aspie if...

If you understand animals more than some people (-:

You might be an Aspie if you agree that fitting dishes in your dishwasher is much more fun & interesting than fitting people in your life.

. . talking on the phone makes you nervous.

Talking into an answering machine makes you feel like an idiot!

You can listen to the same song 20 times in a row without getting sick of it.

You eat pizza (or whatever your favorite food is) almost every day. No one even bothers asking what you'd like for lunch/dinner any more. And if someone does ask, your friend answers for you before you even have a chance to say anything.

After reading your essay for English class on the movie K-Pax, your classmates ask if you are an astrophysicist or something, even though what you wrote was nothing but random pseudo-scientific gibberish, because you just like to test your teachers to see what kind of crap you can get away with turning in (and they always love everything you turn in).

You are better at typing out your thoughts than verbalizing them...

...yet if you try to write something by hand, you can't even read it.

You've ever forgotten to eat dinner because you were too preoccupied with doing something else.

You've ever spent an entire weekend reading about the history and health effects of Mountain Dew.

You only give people your cell phone number, since you can always turn your cell phone off when you don't want to talk to anyone (even though you probably wouldn't be getting any phone calls anyway).

The one friend that you can actually stand knows that he can always find you online when he wants to talk, since you never leave your computer.

When people call you a nerd, you take it as a compliment.

Anyone has ever said "You are really weird, you know that?" while you were trying to do something as simple as brushing your teeth.

You actually like being weird.

You've ever made a video of yourself speaking Klingon.

You originally only had three things that you were going to post when you started your reply to this thread, but kept thinking of more as you were typing.

You had to go back and edit your reply to this thread because you thought of more.

You then had to edit it a second time because you noticed a typo and you knew you'd obsess about it if you didn't correct it. You really hope that you didn't make any other mistakes that spell check can't find.

You read the entire Academy of Achievement interview of Roger Bannister. (It runs, pardon the expression, nine pages and is very good.)

YMBAAI you cannot just ask someone if they want tea and go make it, you need to know how strong, how much milk, how much sugar or would they prefer sweetener, which kind of milk. Basically your mind instantly fills itself with 100 variations and you are unable to just go make an ordinary tea.

I hate tags in clothes, too. I also hate face makeup, because it gives me a claustrophobic feeling, like I'm wearing a mask. The only kind of makeup I like to wear is lipstick.

. . . you forget to eat.
