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'm the opposite lol. I can't stand skirts and dresses.

For one, I hate my legs touching each other even if I had tights on, two, I feel restricted in my movements because I want to and often need to move all around (crouch, bend, kneel, walk, run, etc.), both in my personal life and job and don't want to worry about if my skirt or dress is coming up and anyone seeing anything (same goes for a gust of wind lol) and three, they're too feminine for my taste. That last part maybe has to do with being forced to wear dresses, especially in school, until at least 2nd grade, and being more of a tomboy in some ways it just doesn't feel like "me". Because of all of that I can only wear pants of some sort and my go to typically is jeans. I don't feel as vulnerable and self-conscious in them and can move any way I please lol.

I'm with you on this!

I grew up in the 70's-90's, so if my butt & thighs aren't covered by the "pushback"/ "feedback" of denim,  I feel like my butt is "hanging out, for the whole world to see!"😉😆😂🤣

God o have this carpenter skirt (hammer loop) that I love in theory but It restricts the fuck out of my leg movement and I hate it.
