3 things you thought were normal but weren't?

Hello,

After learning about autism and watching a lot of videos about autism in adults and those with late diagnoses, many of what they said is that they thought they always used to do a certain thing and thought it was normal but apparently it was not!

I want to share 3 of those things and maybe you can share yours too!

3 things I thought were normal but apparently are not!

1- Asking the dentist what exactly is he/she going to do in details and what tools they're going to use! It makes me more at ease...

Bonus: They usually don't entertain my request until I finally got one that would actually tell me before hand and would also play some classical music in the background!

2- I always notice interesting car plate numbers or similar ones, i later realized that my brain actually unconsciously scan the numbers and if any triggers a special pattern then it draws attention to my brain to notice it! I can't scientifically prove it but I thought to myself why don't I notice normal/boring numbers? and came up with that conclusion. My wife always thought it's interesting how I notice these things...

3- Excel is my top used app... I analyze anything and everything. I once complained to the central bank about a $0.10 discrepancy with my bank from a transaction and they were like how the #ell did I find that! lol...

I have many more but i'll share them later! Let me here yours guys :D

  • 1. I always say “Thank you very much” whenever someone does even the littlest thing for me. Drives my wife up the wall whenever she hears it lol

    2. I’ve always talked to myself in my car or whenever I’m otherwise alone, mostly to prep for upcoming conversations.

    3. I tend to hop and shake my hands when I get angry.
