are you drawn to water?

Yes, I am drawn to water.

It's relaxing, and magical, and a spiritual conduit.

Plus it's essential for life, so not to be drawn to it would be odd from a biological standpoint.

I like how it shimmers.

This explains a lot

Yhh as a child I would watch rivulets on the car windows for hours or channel it into mini streams and watch it go down the drain. Now I loooooove the sound of plashing water, it has a certain "taste" if I were trying to recreate the sound of water plashing (not splashing lol) i'd actually be focussed on recreating that sensation so theres probably some mild synesthetic stuff going on there.

Yes, I've been known to play with water, sometimes.

I literally worship the water cycle, like I pray to rivers and storms and the ocean. (this is not actually an unusual thing to do in non-Abrahamic religions). I could go on about the importance of water goddesses in a half dozen religions for days.

my life goal is having a private indoor pool to swim in for hours every day. food, healthcare, family, and a pool. that's it.

Yes.I got in trouble when I was little because I liked to flush the toilet and watch the water whirl.I turned the water hose on to make a creek.Once I did this with the neighbors hose and boy, were they ever mad.There was a Popeye cartoon where their kitchen filled with water,so I got my little pail and turned the sink on and tried to fill our kitchen up,again the adults were not very happy.
I like to hear the sound of it running and the reflection on the water.I have two little creeks on my land and the river is below me so now I don't have to turn on a hose to enjoy it.

When I get near an ocean it is almost as though I can feel it saying "Welcome home." I love love love water.

Anyone whose ever driven to the beach with parents will appreciate the anticipation - "where's the water ... can you see it yet?" and then the first sight of it like a great concrete sprawl filtered through a kaleidoscope all shimmery and glittering.

I only just realised how much I love water aha

I hadn't really thought about it before, but I've often lived in places that were near water--rivers, mostly. And I've always been attracted to islands, both literally and symbolically--I've lived on Manhattan, in Tokyo and Singapore, and one of my favorite places in the world is the UK.

I love water. I can watch it for hours. I prefer the beach because there's also the smell of the sea and the rhythmic sound of the waves. But any water will do -- lakes, rivers, fountains, swimming pools. It's profoundly calming.

I had no idea this was an autism thing, just heard it mentioned on a TV show. I have always been drawn to water: lakes, streams, rivers, the sea. I love the sound, the crashing waves and find it mesmerising to watch.

I was interested in Penguins as long as I can remember, When I was a Toddler, It was nemo, Then Posiden when I was seven. You can see how it progress right. All, my Major special interest that lasted for a few years are water based.

I've more so been interested in the sensation of water rather than have water-based interests.
I've always loved the feel and sound of splashing water. I used to love those water trays when I was little. I loved baths and showers as well (although nowadays I don't take baths anymore as I feel tired and all wrinkly afterwards).
Whenever I go to the beaches in Scotland and the weather's nice enough, I like to take my shoes off and have a paddle or a wade in the sea.

My older brother (who is neurotypical) is fascinated with underwater life. He studies Marine Biology at uni as a matter of fact.

I've been drawn to water since I was really little. I love the feel of it and the colour of it. I used to go to an indoor pool once a week, until one time that I almost didn't make it to the washroom on time which happens a lot. I settle for watching swimming on the Olympics and walking in heavy rain these days.

I actually get driven away by water, as I was traumatized during childhood (do I even have one?) by an incident related to falling in a public adults' swimming pool. Not sure why your poll doesn't have the option "I hate water" by the way.
