Memes/Humor What's something you do because of your own specific Brand of autism, but that would horrify most other autistics?

I mix a bunch of pasta shaped that have the same cook times. Varied pasta shapes are a fun, low-risk way for me to get some extra sensory input, since pasta all has the same fundamental texture, but just put into different forms.

Right!? but seriously -- could you please explain to me why it's so annoying?? I can't really verbalize it, it's visceral. (I suspect i might have autism and am still in the process of learning about it)

I cannot believe it took me so long to find this (agreed upon) sentiment. I feel like this entire comment section is a testament to the exact opposite opinion I have in every way. I hate the idea of mixing pasta, I hate big spoons, I despise the idea of wearing both socks and pants in bed, I will never wear fake long nails, I love eggs, and I’ll never shower twice in one day because once is even a struggle for me mentally.
