Yes, I always make things stand in order. When there's a box with stripes on it, I make sure the cover stripes are on the same place as the box stripes, so they are uninterrupted stripes. I do this with everything. When I have several objects, I make sure they ly in the right way, as much as possible parallel. I do thisso often, I don't even notice any more. There are too many examples to mention, so I won't.

Oh yes. In my school bag, school books must be at the front and the comics at the back. Certain things must be in certain places in my bedroom, I have to do things in certain orders etc. I think it's because of both my Asperger's and my OCD.

They sound like compulsions or complex motor tics, although if you have autism or Asperger's, they are probably part of that.

Oh yes, definitley!

If I have a bag of multi-colored candy (M&Ms, Skittles...), I always line them up two by two and eat one color at a time (all orange, then another...)
