I am only recently diagnosed but I had a wonderful moment last week.

I was 'explaining' my AS to a disbelieving friend/good acquaintance.

I was mentioning some of the traits (and trying desperately to allow him to say something) when I go to 'eye contact'.

At the beginning of the diatribe we had eye contact and then (I am never conscious of the moment when I actually look away) I realised I was looking away (and at nothing in particular)

I moved my head back with my hand, raised my eyebrows to communicate humor and started laughing.

I ran into a parked SUV. My chiropractor had a rough time adjusting me after that.

I blurted out "here" when attendace was taken at jury duty...before they called my name. The pause told me she was ready to call me but couldn't pronounce my last name. I had the whole place rolling! But...i am not one to like being the center of attention, so it was quite embarrassing.

My full first name is Georgina, and some teachers call me Georgia instead of Georgina, so I got used to answering to any variation of my name (what I should have done was refuse to answer to anything but Georgina or Gina). But in my science class, there was a girl called Georgia, and I accidentally answered to her name instead of my own. :oops:

I think it would have to be the time that my teacher told me I was wrong and I responded with something along the lines of "Are you stupid ?" and then explained my point in what was probably a very aggressive tone of voice. Every single person in the class looked shocked and that's when I realized I probably said something wrong. I had a few more of very similar situations, where I said completely "unacceptable" things to teachers and people always found it funny afterwards. Somehow I never got in trouble for any of them :D

I'm very bad about correcting authority figures. They usually don't like it. :lol:

The funny moments are mostly due to the fact I don't follow the pecking order like everyone else, and I tend to be bluntly honest, even when it's not to my advantage.

Last semester, I would take the stairs on the way to a class, but take the elevator going out. Why? The door to the stairs had "Fire exit: keep closed" so I wouldn't go through it, even though I knew it was the same door I opened on the way to class, until I saw someone else do it about two weeks later. I still can't explain why, haha.

It's the reason why I wouldn't last more than a day in the army.

I used to think those signs meant you have to keep the door permanently closed without exception. I wondered what was the point of putting a door there in the first place if you couldn't open it.

I was in London with my other and we were both looking at the palace in Hyde Park where Princess Diana lived. I forget the name of the place but anyway mom and I were looking at it and then my mom saw a worker there asking who lives in those apartments and she said the families of Price Charles do and I asked how much rent do they pay because I was trying to find out how much people pay in London to live and the lady says rudely "Are you deaf? They're royal, they don't pay anything" and then mom and her keep talking and I find out the reason why London is so expensive is because lot of their taxes go to the royal families and they get everything for free and I said to my mother "Wow it's like paying for the welfare." The lady's eyes get wide and open mouth. My mom pulls me and says "lets go."

The b***h deserved my rude comment anyway for being rude to me and acting like I'm stupid. For god's sakes I'm American. We don't get royality where I'm from. I think that's why my mother pulled me away because the lady deserved my comment and maybe she didn't want a conflict so we left.


Note: This was unintentional what I did. I found out afterwards I did an insult and what reaction the lady had when my mom told the story to my cousin and she laughed.
So I basically got back at the woman unintentionally. Of course I had forgotten about the incident until my mother told it again to my cousin and the way my mom said in her tone of voice what the lady said to me, she was pretty rude. I don't think I picked up on that then. Sometimes our AS comes in handy to get back at jerks on accident :lol:

Once in a market, there was pork pie for sale. I told my dad I wanted one, my dad said "it's with jelly." Now, he meant a special kind of jelly for the pork pie, but I took it literally and thought a disgusting pork pie with fruity jelly. And my dad could tell I thought that by the look on my face. :lol:

When I was younger, in about 2nd or 3rd grade, my teacher asked a question to the class. I had my hand raised to answer it, but she called someone else. I left my hand up because often the other person would get it wrong, so it was just in case she wanted someone else to answer. As I sat there waiting, I started daydreaming and planning what I was going to do when I got home. After a few minutes, I heard the teacher calling my name a few times, and I'd forgotten what her question was or what I was going to say. I just sat there for a moment, spacing out, then when I heard her, I blurted out "Can I get a soda when I get home?". :lol:
