What "autistic" things do you find yourselves doing? I do a lot of different things which I know a neurotypical wouldn't think twice about.
One of them is making sure everything in my house is straight, so the chairs, my books and DVDs on the shelf, pictures hanging on the wall and plenty more than that.
Recently I was doing up an MG Maestro and had noticed the offside headlight wasn't seated properly and was facing a little to the side. This bothered me so much, playing at the back of my mind until finally I went out and straightened it because I couldn't cope with it not being right.
I feel like I was actually approaching a meltdown, that's how much this sort of thing bothers me.
Am I alone in being this way?
Today in the food store:
SA = shop assistant
SA = that will be £10.66 please - would you like a carrier bag?
Me = the Battle of Hastings
SA = Sorry, I don't understand.
Me = 1066 - the Battle of Hastings
SA = Oh. Would you like a carrier bag?
I do that sorty of thing all the time, but not out loud mostly.
