What is the connection between autism and spinning?

im not sure what you are saying i also was speaking of spinning tops. i like spinning tops.
My guess is you are making the association of tops and tits, as tits are covered by tops, as we sometimes call them in the USofA. which i almost made more of a word play on but i didn't want to offend any females.

so to clarify, I was before expressing my approval of spinning tops, in which i said 'tops are tits', 'tits' signifying in that context 'very cool'. this colloquialism probably arose from the fact that the original tits, are also very cool.

in other news i was thinking there is another visual phenomenon which does mesmerize me to the extent you mention being memorized by spinning objects : flames. I could watch a campfire hours on end, but even more captivating than the fire itself is to stur the the shimmering embers after the fire is gone. The longer the fire has gone, the entire fire pit can be filled with embers, which can last a couple hours.
I also had a period of obsession with candles for around a year, several years ago. I would have several candles of different colors, watching their flowing wax meet and mix. I would watch candles into the hours of the night, nearly every night. Interesting this period did not come to mind earlier. That obsession was probably the most addictive activity i ever engaged in. I would at times constantly be thinking, 'I SHOULD BE DOING SOMETHING', but be unable to remove myself, and continue playing with the candles until i HAD to go to sleep. I think there were even a few times my 'games' were not concluded until the sun rose.
