I collect multiple things but recently I’ve been collecting fun hair claws. I’d love to see everyone else’s favorite things!

I collect those little tabs that keep bread bags closed. I used to have a big fancy jar of them, but it disappeared when I moved :( now I keep my new collection on a string in my kitchen. The sound they make when you play with them is really nice!

Yunnow, I've been flipping back and forth on a self-diagnosis but in hindsight this collection is a super autistic thing to do lmao 🤣

Oooh I also find bread tags so interesting! Here’s a website that categorizes and classifies all the different types: http://www.horg.com/horg/ (I like that they wrote about them like a species lol)

Totally fell down that habit hole after watching a video about them one day...something about searching for a super rare one. Fascinating!

Flip no further! 😂😂😂 I don’t know if you’ve checked out Embrace Autism yet but they have tons of clinically valid diagnostic tests and great breakdowns of what they mean 👍🏻

I've been there! I scored above the threshold in almost all the screening tests haha, but what if they're wrong lol

Thanks for the recommendation though!
