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.

I cannot wear branded clothing. I simply cannot.

Yeah I’m not a free marketing sign for them (especially when it is more expensive than other things)

Branded as in having the brand logo on it? Can you wear levis with the tag stitched on the back? Do you just think it’s tacky or does it make you mad or some third thing?

No, actually, I don’t know what it has to do with.

My assumption is that it is because wearing branded clothing feels like “bragging” of some sort, and I can’t do that (since it would require some kind of ambition and I don’t have that).
