Not just what are your autistic traits, but what are some of the silly things or compulsive things you do that you feel is unique/possibly related to your autism?

I always keep a 12' measuring tape on me which is kind of a new thing in the past year. I fuckin love measuring things, and it makes me feel good to have JUST in case.

At first I read hamsters there instead of hammers :-) glad I misread that. I like tossing stuff as well, and have the same experience catching knives or other dangerous objects, it's weird how you can catch them pretty reliably.
