I don't have a specific comfort object. For me, the comfort object has always been The Book. The Book's actual identity changes depending on what I'm reading, and sometimes there are two of them. I feel much more comfortable if I have a book with me, because then if everything gets too much I can bury my nose in it, find a comfortable corner, and spend some time calming down. Plus, I won't be bored.
This is great...freely admit to being an NT female, although a fairly non typical one socially in some ways...still with lots of the NT obliviousness that I am working on
...but this is great.
I NEVER go anywhere without at least one book, my camera (if I hate what everyone else seems to be finding exciting, then I can enjoy my passion for learning photograpy - which has maybe bordered lately on becoming what might be a very aspie-like obsession?) and often my backpack (I don't carry a purse either) usually complete with my laptop, toothbrush and toothpaste, chapstick, tweezers, any of the over the counter meds I keep in my medicine cabinet, something to write with/on, my ipod, a deck of cards and a few other things.
Among NT women...I am definitely odd, not quite don't fit in completely, but considered endearingly quirky...since I met the guy I'm dating who has AS and sent me here to do some reading...wow...somehow I feel like smiling
