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 mutter to myself a lot. Thoughts, statements, questions, bits of arguments I’m having in my head. I really try not to do it around other poeple, as I think it makes me seem crazy. I’ve picked up a verbal tick from a friend of saying “okay” when moving from one task to another. Shits wierd.

I’m a mutterer too! I was having a hard time in a crowded store the other day and began muttering to myself but in some sort of eastern-european accent and, i gotta say, it vastly improved my time at the store. People that got too close certainly didnt linger, lol.

I’m not even autistic but thats so relatable. I am often muttering random things over and over again especially when deep in thought.
