| I fit "criteria A" (social issues) and 3 out of 4 categories of "criteria B" The one I don't fit is the need for routines and rigid thinking about arbitrary rules. I have some mild traits of that category that mainly show up at work (extremely irritable if interrupted from routin... |

I have many many stims.
One right now is walking around at work shaking my hands turned inward at the wrist. Especially when it's noisy, helps with regulation. |

| Think it's super normal for interests to shift with time. I hope you have the time of your life with Gravity Falls!! For me, there's a certain sadness in parting with past special interests-- I put my heart and soul into them, so moving on feels like leaving a piece of myself behind. You can always ... |

| For me my autism leads to my obsessive thoughts falling into OCD patterns. Which is a very specific kind of way of dealing with anxiety that leads to a vicious cycle of being unable to break out of anxiety inducing thoughts. The best thing for me has been to cut the cycle off by refusing to feed int... |

| Also. I have always had weird stims. I remember I used to pick things apart when I was a kid. Stuff that seemed to fragile and pickable.... like. Rubber balls. I just... needed to pull them apart piece by piece. It was honestly distressing to try and not do that. My mom took it as a sign of emotiona... |

| A common one for me has been some back and forth type of motion of my hand and wrists at work. I do this largely when overstimulated and unable to escape the overstimulation. One time a customer asked me about it, asking if I was shaking my hand because his drink that I had just rung up was cold. No... |

We both work at the same place, and today was.... severely understaffed, with customers being extra hurtful. My sister ended up having a mental breakdown on her register. So did another cashier. ... |

I'm counting nine, including three WP tabs leading to the same page and two YT tabs with the same song.
10.
Four are tumblr, where I run an RP blog. It's helpful to have multiple tabs as I bounce around between replies. |
