Yeah, I've got the "can't do jewelry" thing. I can't wear rings, bracelets, wristwatches, necklaces, or even ties. And for the most part it is not something I worry terribly much over. I actually enjoy being fond of pocket watches - there's an Aspie style for ya; keep your eyes open for folks who prefer pocket watches. (Although I suppose I do have a "normal" friend who likes them too - but I'm convinced he stole the notion from me.)
I did catch more than a little grief for not being able to wear my wedding ring for years I was supposed to. I tried, really, but it drove me freaking crazy having a metal loop around one of my fingers; I would subconsciously keep popping it off, and almost lost it a few times because of that (f**k off, Freud; it was a sensory thing.) Ultimately I did keep it in a special little shrine at home, which of course meant a lot to me, but to nobody else because it was not "normal".
Good fortune,
- Icarus's nemesis is 'normal'...
