Some auties experience some kinds of pain as neutral or enjoyable. So it's not that unusual. Of course, sometimes it hurts way worse than it ought to, which is probably just as common.
mm maybe it's like headbanging (something I don't quite understand), I think the pain of it releases endorphins and blocks out everything else or something like that. Maybe the headbangers can explain.
