It's the anti-social type of autism thread.

I'll lock doors and I'll walk like 50 feet and I'll have to go back and check if I locked them. That's more OCD than anything.
I do that in the one-person bathroom by my office all the time. But yeah, in general I'll walk back to my car to check if it's locked, and worry all day if I've left the oven/broiler on when I leave the house for an extended period of time.
I'm somewhat OCD over travel logistics, such that I trust NOBODY other than myself when planning to travel places in groups. While I don't insist on it, I highly prefer being the driver, with my own car. I drove the entire time to MDF last year, for instance.
The point of this thread is to post stuff that makes you autistic as fuck. Basically, anything that SS and HB post deserves a spot in this thread.
I think the only thing I'm super autistic about is book spines. I, like, cannot fucking stand it when people open a book all the way and break the fucking spine right in the middle of the fucking book. I try to keep my books in good shape, so I never even open them enough to break the spine. It's kinda pathetic as fuck, but god damn I'd rather just barely open a book then have to deal with a fucking broken spine right in the cunting middle of it.
Fuck.
I wear sunglasses when I'm outdoors pretty regularly so I can make eye contact with anyone I want without feeling weird about it.
Making eye contact with people is extremely uncomfortable and I prefer never to do it. I have to remind myself to and try rather hard to maintain what I think are normal levels of eye contact in conversations.

I don't have this problem normally, but I do at school. I attend a school that's like 99% black. There are a few white kids that go there (think like 0.1% of the population), but I explicitly avoid making eye contact with them and it seems they do the same. It's very odd. I guess I avoid it because I don't want to make friends with them just on the basis that we attend a black school, as white people, together. I can't really describe it. At the same time, I sometimes avoid eye contact with black students because I'm the token white guy and I feel odd about it. The school does have a fairly large Saudi and Brazilian population and I've noticed I don't avoid eye contact with them. It's odd.
