How to tell that you're talking to an Aspie...

[Walkie]

One good Aspie-test occured to to me earlier today (I wont tell you why)

Find an opportunity to throw in the interjection "Tell me about it!" .
An Aspie will probably respond by tellng you about it. 

Any more?

Haha I like it.

Could always bring up that bellend  'dr' andrew wakefield with his autism squeaks whore slut bitch chum(p) jenny McChlamydia or whatever her damnable name is. Mccrappy? McCuntish? McArseface? something like that. If they aren't autistic or on the spectrum elsewhere  that kind of thing would probably garner a shocked reaction. Rather than outright curiosity if they don't already know.

Ask them what they like to do on vacation.

Hang gliding ? Crowded festivals ?

Nope.

Touring the museum that houses the largest ball of string in the world ? Quiet vacation at home ...alone ...alone w/books ? 

Yep.

Only someone spesh would likely find getting to interact with an octopus in its own environment, whilst diving on holiday, after said cephalopod shot out of it's hidey-hole in a huge sea snail shell once the shell was picked up to examine it, and clamped itself on the diver's face like a facehugger from the alien movies:P

Bet most people would freak. I thought it was an adorably cute little fella, jt seemed perfectly happy, after being very gently detached from my face, just to walk around up and down my arms and hand to hand, seemed quite curious about my scuba gear. If it weren't for the fact that octopi only live for 4-5 years at most then I'd love one as a pet, they are  intelligent, curious creatures that in the right circumstances can interact with people in interesting ways. And they are well known for their smarts, coming up with all kinds of escape artistry and sneaking out of their tanks into other tropical fish tanks etc in order to feast upon the fish and molluscs etc in there, then sneaking back into their own tanks. Opening screw-top jars with their tentacles and other feats of cunning and intellect.

I would have loved to have seen a video of that octopus climbing onto curiously. It sounds cute. And I like calamari.

I hardly ever bother to tell people about anything anymore. I got pretty good at being able to tell when people are not really paying attention, and are just patronising me by pretending to.

[Lestat]

Yeah I wish I'd had an underwater capable camera. Unfortunately the wrong timing, since I was on holiday in turkey at the time, and it wasn't really the sort of moment you plan. Shit happens. In the face. With an octopus. Wish I'd been able to get at least some still shots, if for no other reason so I could see an outside view of the...whatever the hell you call it when you've got an octopus clamped on your face:autism:

Didn't think you're old enough to be too jaded, so just assumed vague is your natural state of being.

[Grey Area]

Oh I meant in real life. I can't read nonverbal cues over the internet, lol.

My vagueness on here and on other forums/social media is usually facetiousness or sarcasm. I think. I'm so jaded I can't really tell anymore.

[Jack]

I see. Being ignored or patronized isn't necessarily nonverbal, so thought you might be feeling that way here.

[Grey Area]

I don't feel that way at all here. This is the only autism forum I've ever found that isn't full of dickheads and where I don't get ignored or patronised.

[Jack]

Good.

[Grey Area]

Also, sometimes there are things I feel a need to say, but no desire to elaborate on.

Please tell me more about that.
