    Does this annoy you too?

    Here's another pattern everyone should know: Whenever you get a phone call that begins; "Hello (your name), I am X from Y company. How are you doing today? *pause*"... Just hang up! Even if you're already doing business with that particular company, one fact will be true, a hundred percent of...

    Does this annoy you too?

    I'll take this one step further because I think I'm picking up on a useful pattern: You've probably already figured out by now that when someone you barely know addresses you as 'my friend', that's a red flag of dishonesty. That person probably intends to use you in some manner. Not always, but...

    Mystery: What looks identical to autism... but is not autism?

    Mystery: What looks identical to autism... but is not autism?

    I present to you a casino poker room regular. An intelligent, profitable card player... and quite childish for a man of around 50 years of age. Sincere and candid to an autistic level. Engaging but odd. Considerate but sometimes a bit offensive to snowflake types, since he's not guarding his...

    48 Laws Of Power- The Most Useful Book I've Ever Read

    Effective people skills don't come naturally to us, so reading 48 Laws Of Power was like acquiring a list of everything I was doing wrong. Growing up, you probably heard counterproductive phrases like 'you're perfect just the way you are' and 'just be yourself'. That sort of unstrategic weakness...

    What is your alignment?

    It's unsurprising to see no evil alignments here. Needless cruelty was never our thing. In fact, only one prominent autistic villain even comes to mind: The Unabomber. Are there any others? And Kaczynski's main diagnosis was paranoid schizophrenia, with his presumed autism just a footnote to...

    What is your alignment?

    The need is clear, and I've just come across an alignment test set in the modern world. It's not perfect, but my result came out identical and consistent to what was expected: Alignment Test / Moral Alignment Test - Discover Your D&D Alignment Type / Personalized Alignment Chart Now!

    What is your alignment?

    I'm expecting mostly Chaotic Neutrals, Chaotic Goods, and Chaotic Neutrals who mistakenly identify as Chaotic Good. But who knows? A poll of this type might be without precedent, and anything could happen... Here's how to know for sure: Alignment Test

    ...and the world's most successful aspie just rephrased my exact sentiments:

    Does this annoy you too?

    Is this still your opinion now, considering how many people here have readily agreed with me?

    Does this annoy you too?

    When attending any event where much handshaking is expected (weddings, conferences, etc.), I always wear an Ace bandage on my right hand. Just try it if you're interested in a get-out-of-handshakes-free ticket. The moment they begin to reach in for a little unnecessary ritual dude-touching, just...

    Do you speak in a monotone voice?

    Speaking in a monotone voice is a telltale sign of autism, but I'm curious how standard this trait truly is.
  14. Autistic Yoda

    Does this annoy you too?

    Does anyone else mind being asked how you're doing, by people who clearly have zero reason to actually care how you're doing? They're not really asking, and you're not expected to answer honestly. You know you're supposed to say 'good', 'fine', or similar. But maybe, like me, you refuse to lie...
