Suppose you want to discuss things face-to-face with a person you causally meet about topics that requires the other person(s) to be aspie in order for it to work out. Any ideas on clever questions to ask to determine if the person is NT?

Do you mean simply how to determine if someone has Asperger's or if someone is an aspie and knows it? Because there is still a good amount of people who are undiagnosed but have traits consistent with ASD.

It's more about determining if the person is NT. But of course finding out if the person is an aspie is nice too.
However it doesn't matter if they are diagnosed, it's still the same person.

Could be useful when discussing that may seem socially inappropriate by NT:s.

I suppose I'm just wondering what it is you want to talk about that only an aspie (diagnosed or not) can appreciate. As for questions you can ask, I'm not familiar with any that aspies always answer one way and NT's another.

What topic could you have to discuss with an aspie that you wouldn't work out with an NT?
