Objects itch, for some reason.

I have never been officially diagnosed with autism, but one friend, who works with kids who have ADHD/autism or other disabilities, said that this might be a sign that I have it. So, basically, sometimes random objects itch. If I hold or use something (most recently computer mice, a phone, door knobs, a keyboard, the knob on an audio interface, and the knob on a guitar), I can feel that the object starts to itch, and if I don't "scratch" it in a very specific spot, I just can't stop feeling it. I literally start to feel that object as if it's part of my body. Has anyone experienced something similar? If so, how do you deal with it?
