When a person is in a state, where he can't or won't talk to other people around him/her. Can also be called headphones mode.
Autistic mode can be achieved easily by putting headphones on and play some good
music. Noise is an excellent insulator against talking.
This state can be also achieved without phones by concentrating hard on to something or by dreaming (class or any other boring occasion).
Makes people hard to talk to because they don't react even if you call their name.
Comes from anime series Ghost In a
Shell episode
22 where Ishikawa and Batou are tracing
Chief Aramaki, but cannot contact him.
Ishikawa: That's strange. The
Chief's running on autistic mode
Example1:
Mom: So what have you been doing lately? This room is a mess! When are you going to clean it? Where is that nice girl we
saw the last time we visited here?
Me (to myself): Fuck it, I'm going autistic mode (puts his headphones on and plays some Infected Mushroom)
Example2:
Friend: And then she said to go left but i went right, so i kinda felt
stupid but then she instructed me......
Me(to myself):
Man, this math question is way too hard. Should have listened to the
teacher, when he taught this. What was I thinking then? Oh yeah, Laura. And what would she look sitting on my face. Hmmm... Nice.
Friend: Calvin! Caaalvin!
Me: What?!
Friend: Did you or did you not remember to return that
book? Damn, are you always on autistic mode?
Me: Sorry. Yeah,
book's returned.
