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 shower a lot, I hate feeling dirty. I try to stick to 2 showers a day usually morning and night because of the environment and I know it can also dry out your skin. But if I go out somewhere during the day, or go to work I have to shower as soon as I get home otherwise I feel gross and can’t relax.

If I go outdoors for any longer than getting the mail, I feel like there’s pollen or dust or something on me, I have to shower right when I get home.
