idiosyncrasies

[BlueStorm]

Does anyone else have idiosyncrasies that may seem out of the norm for neurotypical people?

I know I do, I posted a thread in the Lounge about how my dad keeps it cold in the house and how I just usually wear shorts and a shirt. Yes it isn't sensible but then I made an explanation:

I do have a tactile thing. I can't wash the dishes with the sink full of water, I can't stand the feel of the food particles floating around. It actually makes me jump out of my skin so I do the dishes individually one-by-one with soap (another thing I can't stand to feel) on the sponge.

I also have this thing with my bed sheets being perfectlly aligned on the bed as I can stand the feel of the blankets on my feet, plus I am always having to make sure that the bottom sheets are tucked under the bed.

Then there's the chapstick thing

And the staring at an object thing, such as the freckles on my arm, a plug outlet, or the pattern on my bed spread when I am "in my world" My beautiful, creative fantasy world.

I hate the word "fantasy" It makes everything sound so fluffy.
