I am male and 17 with ASD and I often am told by people that I have strange habits when I am by someone. They always wonder why I do things so strangely and why I am sometimes different from everyone else. And I would like to know am I the only one like this when people ask me things? What strange habits do you have?

My goodness, you might as well be asking us all if we have eyes! It's safe to say that everyone here has strange habits. :)

Not to mention the subjectivity of terms like "strange" or "odd." :P

"strange" is the norm. I guess you'd only be strange in our eyes if you were a neurotypical.

Perhaps that is how you feel personally ("subjectivity"), but I actually know several NTs I don't find strange. And yes, I have AS.

Agreed. My sister is neurotypical and I don't think she's strange at all. Although, she was in an outcast group in school, so strange in the eyes of other people. :P
