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 only eat with a spoon, I gave up using a knife and fork about 5 years ago. I also cannot eat any hot food with my hands.
People at work were very weirded out when they saw me using a spoon to eat a pizza.
That’s so wild! Or i guess not wild but very curious lol. How do you eat pasta, or steak? Or do you have pretty specific eating habits that don’t include those foods?
Anything is possible if you’re determined enough. The side of a spoon acts as a good cutting tool, plus as I tend to take longer to eat I get fuller faster rather than mindlessly eating. I don’t eat meat, so that helps.
Have you tried using sticks? Like the chinese?
Chopsticks you mean? I have used them when I was in Thailand and Japan yes.
