observations (you know you've got Asperger's when...)

... Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory explained his method of arranging his cereal boxes by fibre content, and instead of laughing at the joke, I thought "oooh, that would be handy!"
... you were told you were only allowed to use one brand and colour of pen at work, and you were relieved.
... you spent hours sorting different coloured Hama Beads with a pair of tweezers and you found it relaxing and fun.
... you often feel detached from what's going on around you. e.g. you imagine what an alien would think if it was looking out through your eyes.
... you heard about Taijin Kyofusho Syndrome and related to it more than anything in a long time.
... you get stressed when anyone asks to borrow your pen, because it's your pen.
... you have to use up your pen from full to empty and throw it out. The thought of somehow losing the pen before it's empty makes you dizzy.
- god, that happened to me the other day, I. Just. Can't....
... you become absolutely enraged every time you think about how that guy at work took all of your unfinished label sheets that time you had a day off.
... you feel uncomfortable looking at people in the eye if you don't like them or don't know them.
... you put stuff on the conveyor belt at the supermarket, it all has to be lined up neatly, and when the belt starts moving before you've finished, it's really stressful.
... you're obsessed with a list or spreadsheet and you work on it for hours and hours.
... you can remember your first boyfriend's phone number, but you can't remember when your doctor's appointment is.
... you can't eat savoury after sweet. It's just wrong.
... you have an ability to stub your toe on a perfectly flat floor.
... you care about people, but you forget to show it.
... you often get told you're talking too loudly, when you didn't think you were.
... you're in a room where the wallpaper doesn't line up, and it really gives you the irrits.
... you're really clumsy and sometimes you think your hand/foot is in one position when it's really in another.
... you're asked a question about how you feel or what you think, and you need to think about it for ages before you can answer.
... it confuses and upsets you when people are unpredictable.
... you forget to ask your boss how his holiday was, but you remember that last week he wore a shirt with purple pink and blue stripes two shades of blue, and the stripes were 5mm wide
