Stim?
Are those like... the odd things we do?
Cause I have loads of really annoying habits LOL I bounce my leg, If I hear a weird phrase or song lyric I'll just say it randomly and repeat it over and over again. I can also remember song lyrics really well and it freaks my dad out. I also despise snoring. If I hear that noise I'll fixate on it and until it goes away I won't be able to do anything else. Also if someone touches me and I don't like it I'll be able to feel that exact spot for hours. idk if that's like a common Asperger trait but that's what I have |

To be honest I have those same problems, snoring is honestly so distracting, I absolutely cannot sleep in the same room with a snorer, which is why I wake up my dog when she starts snoring, just because she doesn't always do it.
It's the same with touching me and almost the same with the song lyrics XD, I don't really repeat phrases over and over again so maybe someone else might have that in common with you, I'm sure you're not the only one ^^;
This is irrelevant but I also have a huge issue with rythmic noises, I mean like, constant dripping from a sink or clicking from a person, especially pen clicking, that makes me completely lose my mind, I try to ignore it but ehh it's not so easy XD |

My stim involves music! I'll rock to music (typically for about 1-2 hours)
Helps me get energy out, and helps me regulate, |

Yes, stimming or stimulating "stimms" are the odd things we do to seek certain comforts or to help our selves clam down, etc. Like leg tapping and stuff. |

Henlo. Does anyone else sometimes have days that they're feeling "more" autistic than usual? Or just on high stimm and sensory drive and everything seems to affect you as an autistic, like your own behaviours or others or noises etc, more than normal? Sometimes this happens to me, buht I feel ridiculous saying it in my head "I'm feeling *really* autistic today" |

Oh my goodness, yes!! I know "feeling more autistic than usual" is a strange way to put it but like... that's exactly how I feel lol. I thought it was just me! |

Oof, I have the same issue as Mavi with the touching thing. If someone touches me and I don't like it or they're annoying me, their touch will linger for a while and send tingles up and down wherever they touched me. It's weird. I know whenever I don't take my medicine, my autism is much more pronounced and I am super irritable and everything is too much for me to handle. I once ran out of my medicine one night and I had to go to work, went to work without it. I was just about to flip my shit and hide in the bathroom, but luckily I was able to keep my mind off of it by doing stuff |
