I'm repetitive in the following ways
I wear the same clothes (bought extra of everything).
I wash my hands every ten minutes, to the dot. Never a minute early never a minute late. Started this at school.
I can watch the same film over and over. I know most of the lines, know what's coming but I never get tired of it.
Listen to the same songs and singers every day, usually in the same order.
Read the same books over and over.
Eat the same foods and drink the same drinks.
When I go for a walk I always go the same way each time. Prefer to follow route that I'm familiar with.
Once I find an item of clothing comfortable that's it, it must be that same make and model/brand and type or a similar enough variant of that one for the next 5-10 years. But that's because sensory is my huge thing. Other than that you'll find repetition in my stims, and not much else because the +ADHD opens me up to a wider degree of variety seeking than someone who is just autistic.
It was such a hard thing to do finding exactly the same pants that I used to have, which got smaller for some mysterious reasons :D. I couldn't find exactly the same one at the original store. I wish they could create pants that just grow whenever we gain weight so we don't have to get new ones :D
