"Autistic" things you do.

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?

    Another thing I do which I'm thinking might be an autistic thing is owning loads of things that are matching colours.

    For instance, all my writing books are yellow - like the ones I used at school. All my pens are red. All my cups are white. All my plates are blue. The majority of my clothes are black, because it's not a bright colour and doesn't play my eye sensitivity up.
    I only just considered this being an autistic thing I do - colour matching.
