when he was a child he was into trains and he is also (this is the most alarming) a civil engineer

How do you do? Truckin' in style along the avenue
I think you can drop a bunch of marbles or legos or some poo poo and if he has to stop and count them he's probably autistic. Also if he cannot cross running water or be quiet in church he's probably autistic.

Literally the Wurst...

Seriously...

For REALSIES.

Kindof a tossup there. He did talk to a girl and get laid after all.


Unless he kidnapped you from the hospital.
Your mom or someone who claims to be your mom is around right?

The goon obsession with and complete misunderstanding of autism makes me sad. I'm just gonna stop before this becomes a care post.

Ask him if he wants to watch MLP with you and if he responds in any way besides punching you in the throat and calling you a disappointment, he's probably autistic.

Hope this helps.

Are autists the ones that are good at math? Engineers are good at math.
