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.

I get an atypical haircut because of my autistic hairlines. It involves shaving a hard part on the right side of my hair down the hairline, buzzing the right to that with a fade, growing my left top out, and then getting a fade down the left side. It's asymmetrical, definitely sticks out, and I love it. I just wake up and go, yet still stylish.
