Quirks and Autistic Commonalities

Autistic individuals commonly exhibit idiosyncratic behaviors and preferences in various aspects of their lives. Some of these include daydreaming, avoiding certain food touching on a plate, engaging in repetitive activities like playing the same music playlist or watching the same show repeatedly, striving for perfection in various aspects of life, analyzing situations to avoid making the wrong decisions, and having a heightened sensory awareness of clothing textures. Autistic people often have unique ways of coping with social interaction, such as talking to pets, pacing while on the phone, and engaging in other simultaneous activities. These commonalities provide insights into the autistic experience and help foster understanding and acceptance.
