i have a number of autism problems.
i hit things with my hands or myself
i make random quiet nosies, makes my mum stressed when she is trying to watch tv.
i do things in a certian way before i go to bed ( put tv on standby,put simpsons video ready in video player, check my window is closed (donsnt close keeps opening itself) turn light off, close door, toilet, wash hands, wash hands with soap, soak feet with tap water, flush toilet, close door a bit, turn tv on then close door fully, check window again, turn tv volume right down to just wispering loadness, check window again, sit on bed wipe feet, fix pants, wipe feet propely, then go to bed. )
i cant hadnle more than a coulpe of pepole talking, i wear my headphones alot outside, i dont like pepole touching me unless i know , i dont like pepole grabbing me.

i randomly "stim" usualy involving rocking, and tapping my arms against my sides of body, or chewing on my shirt.

is that normal, i feel diffrent.

All of those things are a part of who you are, you don't need to feel different by comparing yourself to others. That's like a butterfly comparing itself to a flock of birds. It will feel like it's different, until one day it will realise that it is beautiful and doesn't need to try to be the same as anything else, it just needs to be the best it can be.

You feel different because you are different.
