Topic: Are you an autist?

1. Significant problems developing nonverbal communication skills, such as eye-to-eye gazing, facial expressions, and body posture.
2. Failure to establish friendships with children the same age.
3. Lack of interest in sharing enjoyment, interests, or achievements with other people.
4. Lack of empathy. People with autism may have difficulty understanding another person's feelings, such as pain or sorrow.
5. Delay in, or lack of, learning to talk. As many as 40% of people with autism never speak.
6. Problems taking steps to start a conversation. Also, people with autism have difficulties continuing a conversation after it has begun.
7. Stereotyped and repetitive use of language. People with autism often repeat over and over a phrase they have heard previously (echolalia).
8. Difficulty understanding their listener's perspective. For example, a person with autism may not understand that someone is using humor. They may interpret the communication word for word and fail to catch the implied meaning.
9. An unusual focus on pieces. Younger children with autism often focus on parts of toys, such as the wheels on a car, rather than playing with the entire toy.
10. Preoccupation with certain topics. For example, older children and adults may be fascinated by video games, trading cards, or license plates.
11. A need for sameness and routines. For example, a child with autism may always need to eat bread before salad and insist on driving the same route every day to school.
12. Stereotyped behaviors. These may include body rocking and hand flapping
I suffer from these
7. I have favorite words and catch phrases
9. Pokemon
10. Too many to list.

Regarding 6, is that just in real life, or with strangers?

For #9 does taking things apart count? I have disassembled things from a very young age, just to see what was in them. When I was 8 I took apart the toaster. Mom whupped me good for that one.
@225,919 (Morbid !LcVGywIJks)
Those are also signs of a sociopath.

Probably only if you did it to the same electronics over, and over again.

Nope, I'd take apart different things everytime, once I saw what was in it I'd move on.

I didn't think so, but I am a perfectionist.
