Do You Have Any Quirks?

Anyone else have idiosyncrasies? So often I stack and organize things on trays around me even when I'd rather be doing something else. After opening wrappers, I fold them flat before folding them in half 4 times.

      I have this problem and my psych things it’s more related to my autism but I also have ocd. Really I think it’s my autism focusing on something that’s bothering me or just overwhelming in such a minor way that I don’t even notice it’s annoying me. But like…I still feel like I GOTTA do it.

        @Sydie_Bear exactly! Auties sure do have OCD tendencies, and sometimes OCD at the same time. I describe it best by saying I have a really sticky brain

          @SunInAugust looks like people with ocd are 13 times more likely to have an autism diagnosis as well 😟😳 I figured it was comorbid but that’s higher than I thought!

          @SunInAugust I call my brain messy and cluttered because of all the random things that are a problem 😭 glad someone else can relate! Is ocd comorbid with autism? Cause now I’m wondering honestly

      I'd say these are more character quirks than OCD traits

        @IndoorCat is absolutely agree because aren't done to reduce anxiety. But they are done compulsively and with urgency. Its more an OCD tendency, not like I'm afraid i ran a pedestrian over or thought check.
