My thing is edges and long fine things, like wineglass stems, pencils, and folds in cloth. Even better if the wineglass stem has those edgy fillets. I also like to roll small roundish things in my fingers. Some have suggested it's a sensual or phallic thing, but I disagree. It's a tactile thing tha...

Hi I was googling something yesterday and I came across this forum. It looks like a helpful place. As far as I know I don't have autism.
