What ticks your spergdar? - spergtismo detection 101

[neurotardvirgin]

Barring/excluding the very obvious, outward, bottom rung, lolcowish and caricatural/pejoratively stereotypical traits and manifestations of autismo (Your resident CWCs, insufferable fedorian neckbeard greaseballs, trenchcoat mafia edgelords, furry ear/tail clad tackleglompers, tucute sissy catdickgirl exhibitionist coomer sex pests, etc.) - what are the traits, characteristics, demeanors; and common denominator tropes among spergos that happen to raise your suspicions of an individual being a SPED-lite?

Lack of any self awareness

One thing about the really high functioning spergs is that they tend to be very good mimics. So you wouldn't necessarily know from interacting with them normally. But if you watch them closely you can tell they're just copying what they've seen other people say and do without necessarily understanding why other people do those things. They can have "programmer brain" where they think interacting with others is about doing a certain sequence of things to get a certain output from the other person. And they can get very confused when it doesn't work out the way they think it should.

They will "sperg out". That is, they ramble on about things that nobody else cares about.

Same. It takes one to know one.
