Not just what are your autistic traits, but what are some of the silly things or compulsive things you do that you feel is unique/possibly related to your autism?

I always keep a 12’ measuring tape on me which is kind of a new thing in the past year. I fuckin love measuring things, and it makes me feel good to have JUST in case.

    Counting steps in 4s on same surfaces, keep even-evens (2 steps each foot, 4 total) on the same surface. Watch ahead to know I’ll need to adjust steps when surface is going to change to keep to the 4 steps counts. I don’t like stepping on those bumpy surfaces at crosswalks that are indicators for blind people. I step over those.

      Ooooo this is kinda similar to something I used to do that I described here

      The bumpy yellow pad thingies are kind of unsettling now that I think about it
