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.
Haha, I love you just like measuring things. I used that measurement app on my phone for a while and did quite enjoy that also.
I tend to acquire every small fiddleable object through the day so my pockets are usually filled with little bits and bobs. Pebbles, bottle caps, cable ties, ribbons, bulldog clips, maybe bits of Lego or whatever. Just anything I’ve fiddled around with during the day. I have to empty it all out periodically. Along with a hundred tightly rolled up receipts and scraps of paper.
Oh yeah, for whatever reason I find new/random objects to be more satisfying to fidget with than my actual fidgets. Lately fidgeting with paper clips has been my jam. What do you think your current faves are?
