end the sentence of "you know you an aspie when...
(please number them so people can refer back)
I'll start!
1. Every morning you have toast for breakfast, but it has to be fresh out of the toaster with evenly spread butter or you won't eat it.
2. Your friends stayed at your house longer then planed and its really bothering you.
3. You never know what to do with your arms.

your turn!

There are plenty of indicators of a possibility of having Aspergers, but among the examples you've quoted, I can only agree with #3 (about the arms). The other two are merely a matter of personality. As for something that makes you sure of having Aspergers, I would not jump to such a conclusion under any circumstances. Even an official diagnosis (the way it's being done nowadays) won't necessarily convince me in being an Aspie. That's one of the reasons why I'm not seeking a diagnosis. Perhaps the only thing I might concede to is a brain scan that would display a difference in an Aspie brain from brains of most other people. But even if that was to happen, it wouldn't dissuade me from being determined to learn how to project myself to the general society as a normal person. I don't want to be a "Proud Aspie".

When you keep repeating the same threads over & over again.

I agree with all three! Mostly I agree with number one because I have a lot of OCD rituals such as keeping the blankets on my bed even. The other two still make sense, though, because I'm also a fidgeter and not exactly outgoing.

...when you ALWAYS have to mentally respell "your" to "you're" just to get through somone's sentence!

...when someone asks 'how you doing?' and you say "I'll tell you in an hour"

when someone says to give them a hand you're torn between cutting off your own hand and giving it to them, clapping and cheering, or seeing what they need help with

when people have to wait until you're gone to throw out your shoes and clothes that have long passed their expiration date

when you can say 'thank you, and for our next song...' to 1000+ screaming fans but it's impossible to say 'would you want to go out some time?' to 1 person

when you get a top-of-the-line item from your SIs, and you don't even go a week before taking it apart and looking for ways to make it better

Took the words right out of my head......he he

When you respond to a thread and despite the subject immediately begin talking about your interest/hobby.

When you actually stop to think about "how you're doing", or actually try to deconstruct and then to explain to the other person exactly "what's happening".

When you sink instead of swim. (Literally) (I can't swim by the way)
