My wife comments on various things I do due to be lucky enough to be aspergic, for example:

Not getting bored of eating the same food:
I did 6 months at BNPP and had the same lunch in the same canteen each day. I liked that lunch, there was no need to eat anything else.
I always order the same meal from my favorite curry house, I like that meal. I might not like a different one and it is the hottest one they do.

Always driving the same way to places:
I am stumped on this one. I find the best route and always use it, WTF do other people do?!?!?!?

My favorite clothes:
I have 3x3 piece suits and they are all different shades of grey. I do not care that 3 piece suits are old fashioned and no one else has worn them for a hundred years. I like them so I wear them (this is actually complicated as my daughter locked onto me wearing these to go to work and gets upset when I don't wear them).

Not caring about opinions:
See above, I don't care whether other people think wearing a 3 piece suit makes me look like an extra from Murdoch Mysteries - I like them.
At a friends house my nose kept running so I ended up wedging part of a tissue in my nostril so I would not have to keep wiping my nose whilst I did something that required both hands. Her friend thought it was hillarious, I still do not see why.

Not being bothered by repitition:
I can watch and rewatch films etc without getting bored off them many more times that her. She is sick of Monsters Inc as my daughter has watched at least some of it every day for weeks. I still enjoy the film. I can put a handful of songs on repeat and listen to just them for hours etc.

There are probably more but these seem to be the ones she erm ... 'mentions' the most.

You've shown yourself up there badood.

Your lines are completely irrelevant. There is no story. Boring to read.

I thought you spoke hip.

For each a road.
A man needs a religion.
Talking to me like you irie!

Couldn't get a job in England.
U couldn't make it amongst your peers.
Never made the grade did you!
Tomorrow never comes for guys like you!

Fail.

Rituals are the tip of the iceberg for OCD people

Certain decisions that most people find natural and easy, are intractable problems to OCD guys

Things like deciding whether to buy a house or get married

Here in the UK you can do both

The second one would never be a problem for you.

I know a few people with OCD, symptoms vary but worry is the key one.

Do watch 'Monk' will make you smile if you know OCD.

I do find it hard to go into staples and not leave with a new set of pens.

I go for a bouquet of freshly sharpened 2H pencils.
