autistic

A person who suffers from a deficiencies in social-emotional range/approach. Typically unable to discern key verbal and non-verbal queues most people and normally without much effort. This can impact social, relational, work, academic and generally any aspect of life that demands higher social skill than the individual has the capacity for.

Coping with demand beyond this capacity causes in many repetitive motions, strict/rigid adherence to schedule and routine, extreme almost obsessive focus on key interest, and sensitivity to their environment.

By definition a wide and diverse group of individuals can fall into this group so it's easy to say that if you've meet one person with autism then you've simply meet one person with autism. Two people with autism can be almost nothing alike except in the ways described above.

To bring balance to this definition people with autism are capable of being some of the kindest and most loyal people you may meet. Not to stereotype but to give a pop culture example of such Sheldon Cooper from Big Bang theory is played as an autistic and despite the ways he puts many people off is is as loyal a friend to those he allows to be his friend as most anyone can be.
He is autistic and as much as he/she may annoy me at times they are a true friend.

Autistic mode

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.
