I probobly pace back and forth at least a mile per day while I'm completely zoned out.

I get exited very easily and when I'm exited I do things like clap my hands and give a very enthusiastic thumbs up. I can also be a bit loud, and I have gotten some weird looks for it.

I have a good friend who might be on the spectrum (he at least has a few screws loose) and at lunch when I talk to him we can go as much as an hour without saying a word to each other because we both have no idea how to go about starting an interesting conversation, so we often just pace around completely zoned out.

I am currently chewing on a pen cap because I am out of gum.

That describes me pretty well. Puns are absolutely amazing, I don't get why so many people seem to dislike them.

Here are my favorite puns:

What do you call a phychic midgit who escaped from prison?
A small medium at large.

Why did the scarecrow win an award?
He was out standing in his field.

What do you call a snarky criminal going down the stairs?
A condesending con desending.

Why did the man hit the laughing fortune teller?
He wanted to strike a happy medium.

The best punster right now in my opinion is Stephan Pastis. He does "Pearls before Swine".

When I close my laptop for the night I throw my jacket over it so the tiny light doesn't bother me while I'm trying to sleep.

When doing something fun I just need to get up my chair every two minutes to walk in a circle.

When taking clothes out of drawer I make sure the fabric doesn't come in contact with the exposed presswood. I hate that sensation, and the noise it makes.

Sometimes I just feel like taking cat hair off my clothing. One by one.

Okayyyy...glad I'm not the only one. Base level humor is greatly frowned upon in my experience, but it is funny, eh? And, I love puns.

Yes and I secretly think everyone finds bathroom humor funny, they're just too embarrassed/uptight to admit it :D

Ah lol this is actually a real thing that happens to me - people constantly think I am flirting when it's the opposite - I'm rarely attracted to anyone, I'm just friendly and have trouble setting appropriate boundaries :(.

Same!! The worst for me is multi-textures, like juice with pulp, or custard with lumps. Intolerable!

Funny things? Like weird or humerous? I don´t remember them all, but:

Talking to myself in the street,
Shuffling my feet and driving fingertips over the thumb when impatiently qeueing.
Shaking hands vividly to release tension (flapping?)
Rocking sitting on chair or standing.
Fingerflicking and sudden clapping.
Messing up my hair with hand.
Pacing and mumbling when nervous.
Repeating own words again and again
Running fingertips round lips repeatedly.
Difficulty forming words sometimes.

Those are typical and then there are some other things, that might be "autistic" or just ...me.
Don´t remember now.

Today I didn't have any school but my dad had to go to work, one of my brothers still had school, and my other brother is an extrovert who is almost always off doing something. I was completely alone for 6 hours and it wasn't until about hour 5 that I realized that I had the house to myself. Now my younger brother who was at school is home and since he is also a bit of an introvert we havn't said a word to each other in about an hour and a half. I've probobly said less then 100 words today (which does not include my scripting, mumbling, singing, and talking to the dog), and I love it!

Yeah, I mumble to myself all the time. It's quite awkward when somebody walks in on me and I'm like "how much of that did you hear?".

1 - If I see even a tiny food stain on my top, it is like out of one of those commercials where it's screaming at me constantly until I clean it off or change the shirt. It's especially bad if the top is light-colored, making easier to notice.

2 - Sometimes I will remove pull off the crusts from bread or pizza but then eat them anyway.

3 - When I eat pizza I eat off the cheese and toppings first and then eat the bottom. Same goes for pie and most other foods that are layered or have a crust or coating.

4 - When I check the current weather temperature online I usually immediately forget what it was. But I think that's true for most people.

5 - I type "of course" when I'm about to say something factual a lot.

6 - I think I may be magnetically attracted to the toy selection in retail and department stores. Sometimes it's the crafts or the electronics. Clothing? Shoes? Make-up? Get real! :roll:

7 - Some days I feel like I can conquer the world. Other days it takes me several hours just to decide if I should go down to the store to pick up something for supper or make do with what I already have.

8 - Wrapping myself up in a quilt when I'm in front of the computer or the TV, or even while using my sewing machine. When I'm at my parent's house and use their computer I feel very uneasy without one. Sometimes I go downstairs and take one from the guest room, and them mom asks if I'm too cold, and I tell her no I just don't feel comfortable without a quilt.

9 -I sometimes read children's books or stories out loud when no one is around, or tell a story I've memorized to myself, or jokes. The last two I usually do when I'm working on a craft just to pass the time.

My mom does funny things too, and she's NT. For example when we eat out, she'll often tidy and stack up our empty dishes before the waiter comes to take them. She said it's probably an old habit she got when was a waitress herself, which was when I was very young. :)

Here is a funny thing I do sometimes. If something breaks or if someone has a tech probelem that they need my help with then they will ask if I know how to fix it and I will drop whatever I am doing and start obsesively trying to solve the probelem. I will often spend all day on it even if it's some minor thing that doesn't matter very much, I don't care though because I am hyperfocused on solving the probelem. I am usually able to solve it, but it sometimes takes all day. People often have to remind me that it's OK to just say "I don't know how fix that" when I don't know the solution off the top of my head. It can be nice to not let a tech probelem take up my entire day, but it feels so wrong to not try to fix it.

Meowing in a lecture hall... probably sounds more tourettes, but it was a stim, so it's autistic.

I dance whilst waiting for the kettle to boil when making tea. I HATE waiting, it makes me uncomfortable. And dancing is a pretty satisfying stim-like thing to pass the time with. XD

I give one-word answers to complicated questions. "What are you eating?" "Food."

Probably not particularly autistic, but I beatbox to silly things like ticking clocks, car indicator clicks and dripping taps.

I laugh at other people's jokes in conversations that I'm not a part of but I can't help overhearing.

If I had my way, all I'd eat all day every day would be sushi.

If someone makes me food I don't like, or food containing ingredients I don't like, I don't eat any of it. My parents call me wasteful, but if they didn't want any food to be wasted, they shouldn't feed me stuff they know I won't eat.

I walk into everything and can't walk in a straight line to save my life.

I mentally apologise for having offensive thoughts around people, just in case they can read my mind.

I often don't notice cars on the road when I'm crossing, even though I always look for traffic. No idea how I miss them.

I chew and eat things I really shouldn't. I've eaten whole plastic coat hangers in the past, as well as pens, paper and even clothing.

Car horns scare the heck out of me - especially when they're directed at me. If I get beeped at, I get really anxious and upset and guilty and feel like crying.

I meow at cats. And dogs. And people. And everything.

I once thought I could telepathically control seagulls.

I stim when I get embarrassing thoughts. Usually, I shout out weird things from stuff like "right, ok..." or "let's see now..." or even "I will destroy the world!" to forcefully clear the thought from my mind.

I have strange preferences in food. When I combine stuff to my tastes, it always disgusts my family. But seriously, what's wrong with combining jam, peanut butter and marmite in one sandwich? Or tuna, chilli and mustard?

I get really excited over really weird things. Like if I report something to a moderator and it gets followed through or a popular twitch streamer reads out my donation message. Makes it impossible to sit still. I especially get excited when someone sincerely thanks me for something I've done or said... I love making a difference in that way and making people happy or feel better (even though I'm terrible at it cause social stuff is weird).

I like flicking or twirling pens or other objects really quickly and watching the shapes they draw in the air.

I once spent 20 minutes singing a 20-second-long, made-up "meow" song over and over and over. Loud enough to be heard from outside. Recently.

Here's something my second wife told me that I just remembered.

Sometimes she would lay her head on my chest at night. I liked the way it felt. She obviously liked furry men. But, she stopped one night, lifted her head and told me I was 'purring'.

Apparently I purr...I've learned to hear it since she said it. Doesn't happen often, but, I do purr.

And, I am not a cat lover either. They love me, but I'm ambivalent.

I sometimes hold things in my left hand even though it is not my dominant one. I don't know why.

I love purring and making animal sounds and singing and dancing weirdly. I'm also ambidextrous. Sort of. I meow a lot. I say silly or weird things and...well, I basically act like the Doctor.

I do in fact dance like this sometimes:

I'm totally the house cat. Meow. I also silently correct people's grammar and spelling. :lol:

Whenever it's snowing while I'm outside, I always listen/sing along to Let It Go. All the time.
