Does this sound aspie-ish to you?

I haven't been diagnosed, but I've been fascinated w/ asperger syndrome for a while now and have been looking around here and there for info. Anyways, I've always been somewhat different, extremely quiet, in my head a lot of times, daydreaming a lot. Also, my sister is definitely aspie---has a hard time conversing w/ 2 people at once, has strange, inappropriate responses, eye contact is a bit off, etc… (Sorry if that comes off offensive)

Anyways, I was thinking about this one incident I had as a child. I was in kindergarten and it was parents day. When the moms came, all the kids ran to their moms. I was the only one who didn't run to my mom b/c I was very focused on finishing my puzzle. I remember thinking to myself, "I'll finish this puzzle and then go to my mom." Does that sound strange at all?

No, but it does sound aspie-ish. Just remembering early childhood that clearly also sounds a bit aspie.

Certainly does.

I am very like this that I rather focus on finishing something than acknowledge a human lol

Actually just now it happened. I am focusing on this and vaguely heard my husband say: oh blast but said it again louder and it occurred to me, he was waiting for a response from me!

So hard being an aspie

"I'll finish this puzzle and then go to my mom." Does that sound strange at all?

Nope, sounds perfectly normal, but then, I'm an aspie
