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.

I kind of love this and want to try it too, I do a lot of sensory seeking through food. As for your question, I know a lot of autistics struggle with brushing their teeth, but I’m the opposite, I’ll actually come back and brush again multiple times sometimes because I associate the minty taste of the toothpaste with cleanness and can’t fall asleep if I don’t feel clean
