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

    2. Always needing to cut labels out if clothing - as per Lotus.

    3. Reacting to last minute changes to anything that has been planned by being totally floored/mentally eviscerated and needing at least half an hour to digest it, before being able to move on and do something else.
