Whenever I get a little handout for church or a group meeting, I always fill in the closed parts of the text, like 'O's, 'P's and 'B's, and all the lower case letters that have closed parts. Is that just a me-ism or do others stim from that too?

I used to do it at school, and on exam papers..turn them all into eyes, smillies etc. But then again I used to doodle on everything.

I always put it down to boredom

I would fill them in and make smiley faces. I also would make flower petals around O's if they were big enough to show.
