Attachment to Objects

NAS82466

Hi, I'd like to know others' thoughts on an autistic person's attachment to objects.

I personally have a problem with hoarding that has recently got worse. It seems to be linked to my anxiety levels and, when I have things on my mind, it becomes a problem.

I'm thinking it might be linked to the idea of having a "worry toy", like a fidget toy. I often like to "fiddle" with an object in my hands whilst I'm thinking...

Also though, I seem to find sentimental attachments to put onto useless items more and more at the moment and I am finding it difficult to not do this.

I'm in my 40s and have just recently been diagnosed as autistic.

Any thoughts/advice?

    Yep - that's a classic - and the irony of this tiny little proboscis, a note that the tag line of this SPAM reads as "communication with girls from all over the world, verified profiles of all users and video channel protection from advertising and spam. Evolve to a new way of chatting!"

    James Pro - Please f**k off and don't return.
