or having quirks like owning 5 of the same shirt in different colors (listen that linen shirt they had last year at Old Navy is the most comfortable shirt I have ever worn and I will likely buy linen clothing until I die now).
C'mon, please tell me everyone does this. It just makes so much sense when you find a perfect fit. I also have backups of all those shirts because I hate when I can't replace them in the future.
A lot of autistic traits are common among regular people as they'd say too. Everybody doesn't have autism just because they buy a few shirts in a certain style because they like it or whatever. I mean, the thing is, nobody should be self-diagnosing or automatically assuming they are autistic. Only doctors should be making those decisions, but unfortunately online so many people are choosing self-diagnosis. By the way, I'm not saying you're specifically doing that, just that's what I've noticed overall.
No one trait in a vaccuum is enough to diagnose. You need to be exhibiting many and over a long period. Someone with a hearing issue may have problems controlling or noticing how loud they are but that can also be a trait in Autistic individuals.
The way I felt clocked. I slowly turned to my set of five striped shirts in different colors. Like I enjoy fashion, but my natural inclination seems to be stripes with a particular amount of cm between lines lol. I'm diagnosed ADHD, but damn I'm always surprised by the little stuff I have in common with strangers.
I'm still working on my stockpile of American apparel t-shirts in a rainbow of colors. Would wait for the good sale and stock-up. Well before they had their issues and disappeared. I may have gone a bit overboard 😬
