If someone or I touch an object in a certain way then sometimes I can feel what that object feels. Most of the time I feel it itching and I must scratch it. It's like I can project myself into the object. What is going on with me??

My guess would be psychosomatta... Autism does tend to change the way that we process sensory information, but our senses are very mutable to begin with. The sense of taste for example can be very dramatically changed by whether or not a person knows what they're tasting, irrespective of the fact that the chemical makeup of it hasn't changed. So there may be something similar going on here where your brain just pops a sensation in there in response to your awareness of the touch.

I find that really weird as well, I don't think it is related to AS.
