Your Fingers Touching Each Other

Post Reply New Topic

I incredibly hate when my fingers touch each other. In school, when I write, I have to have my fingers touching each other and I really get this uncomfortable feeling, sometimes I don't wanna write.

Is this common when it comes to Aspies?

Different types of hypersensitivity are common with Apserger's. For me, my fingers are also very sensitive, but I tend to like it rather than being averse to it.

I like to rub my fingers together in a circular pattern so the fingerprint lines match up. It's really inconspicuous stimming.

If my hands are wet then the sensation of the fingers against each other really bothers me. In fact touching almost anything with wet hands is a sensation I cannot stand but wood products and skin are the worst. I get the willies just thinking about it.

I hate when the grooves (whorls) in my fingertips rub against each other. It squeaks like cotton wool and sends shiver down my spine.

Actually, I'd say it's very Conspicuous stimming, as I do it too.

I'm fine with my fingers touching other I never thought it could be a problem.
I grab my pinky finger with other fingers and rub my thumb on my pinky finger.
I do something a little similar with my thumb moving between my index and middle finger too.
I don't like how certain fambrics will sort of grab onto my finger print grooves though.

Huh - was thinking about this earlier but for toes, not fingers - I don't like wearing socks, and I don't like having my toes touch each other - specially little toe touching the one next to it - so I tend to splay my toes out.

Then again, I did read something about telling the difference between people who regularly wear shoes and people who don't by looking at their footprints aaaaages ago (it was one of the Hal and Roger (whatever) Adventure books and it's been a while since I've considered them high art ), and have been splaying my toes out to confound anyone tracking me through the desert ever since then.

Well, I have this feeling most of the time, only when I'm writing, not in other common situations.

well, kind of true for me as well
i dont usually mind that much, but if i put some force on the fingers (like leaning on the table when writing/using a mouse), i indeed hate the feeling of the sides of my fingers touching each other, even while i rub the tips together in some stim, or table tap in another.
it might sound contradicting, but most of my hypersensitivities and AS traits are such that they contradict each other; several personality tests i filled actually overloaded from it; even some highly profesional "ment for AS" tests gave me the outcome: "you cheated/dont exist"
