Do you do certain things in a certain way every time? Do something that has your nearest and dearest reaching for the number for the men in white coats? What about late night/early morning routines that would completely spoil the day if not done?
In my food cupboard, all the tins have to be lined up with the labels facing front
I can only sleep if the curtains are open ever so slightly
The washing up has to be done in a certain way - glasses first, then cutlery, then plates with the pots and pans last of all.

The remotes on the table largest to smallest with the phone at the end
CD and DVD's alphabetical
things have to be centralised where ever they are.
There are more but need to go into town

I have a particular tea mug for breakfast on work days. Over time I've negotiated with meself to have some flexibility in this just in case it isn't available but I never spoil a weekend by drinking from it.
Is it a game? I ask myself.

Funny you should mention mugs, I'd forgotten about that 
I've got one china mug that I ONLY drink tea from and a tall mug that I only drink latte from. If I made my tea in the latte mug, it wouldn;t taste the same ( or so I tell myself ) Also, as I don't take sugar, I have to stir my tea first then any others with sugar in after otherwise I can taste the sugar

You don't want to hear me quirky theories about sugar inhibiting the brewing capabilities of tea bags do you? I'm a bit obsessive about y'know.

OMG! If I told you, you would probably have me sectioned!
Part of my AS is routines and obsessions BUT my medication helps with that a lot.
Life gets a bit annoying when you can't drink out of a cup unless it has been rinsed out 3 times, or you have to tap the fridge door after closing it, or when you drink water you always have 5 sips - counting backwards as you go... the list goes on!!
However - there are much worse things in the world and I hardly notice them these days.

I sort money into different denominations, turning each note so that the Queen's head is the right way up, then put fivers on top and twenties at the bottom before folding them in half to put in my pocket. There are not normally as many notes to fold as it might sound like!
CDs in alpha by artist with their earliest realease on the left, latest on the right, DVDs alpha by film name.
Exactly the same route every week around the supermarket.
I count stairs as I'm climbing them. I know there are 14 in the house, but I still count them almost every time.
If I didn't have a routine for the mornings, I would never get out of the door!

Noooooooooo Its GOT to be plates THEN cutlery, Otherwise the washing up Elves will steal your soul.
Sassy, I think that is the correct order, but then I do use the dishwasher, except for the saucepans as they have wooden handles and the heat inthe dishwasher ruins them.
Now do you have a tea towel rota???

I can only drink tea out of a white mug, or a mug that is white inside. Any other colour to me makes the tea look watery and has a different taste to it!
I also have to put milk sugar and teabag in the cup before I put the water in!
Also I play Sunday football, and have to put my left sock on first and my right sock has to be inside out!

Yes my general rule is glasses first to use the cleanest possible water before finaly the grimiest stuff.

Sold my soul a while ago hun so no fear there :giggle:
I do that thing with money too. All the notes have to be the same way in my purse, the £ coins in one section and all the rest in the other but then the coppers and those demonic 5ps go into a jar as soon as I get home.
When I'm in the bath or shower, I wash in the same order too. My left arm is always first.
God, I'm weird
I allways take notes out as i hate carrying change the any change i get goes to the pile on my desk
I have two sections in my wardrobe for my weight variation small on left bigger on the right each side being in a certain orsder of trousers shirts blah blah blah and the shoes lined up at the bottom.
I pack for holidays in the same way evrytime :lol:

You're all weird - scary really! Mind you routines are what keeps us sane and in touch, children need routines to ensure normal development so I suppose some of is retained.
My only weird thing is putting on socks or shoes - left foot first always. If I try to break the stupid routine (cos I know it's weird) and put the right foot first I usually have to take off the socks or shoes and do it again in the correct order.
My brother has AS and is on a parallel universe completely - like that book "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time " - I lived through it, thought it weird at the time and now still think it's weird. Everything else I do is okay in those terms.
:P

Like Sassy, my tins of food have to be facing toward the front of the shelf. I prefer to drink out of a china mug, or at least one that's white inside. And yes you can taste (and smell) the sugar if you stir sugared tea first. All my drawers and cupboards are very neat and orderly. Skirts go from short to longer. Shoes lined up. My son says I have OCD.
I'll shut up now :shock:
I'll shut up now :shock:
i dont think i've got any obsessions.... i'm more of an "organised mess" girl i think lol
although i do have to do my dishes in a certain way, the bedding in my house is done with a different softner than my clothes r done with and if i'm ordering takeaway.... e.g. a chicken wrap... i ask them to keep it all seperate so i can put the right amount of chicken in proportion to my salad and my mayo... otherwise its no where near as nice!

Mods comments - avatar removed, no genital shots please
My right shoe/boot/sock/hold-up has to go on first.
I can't walk over manhole covers etc on the pavement.
I have to park in the same place in car parks (granted this is because I have been known to try to get into the wrong car)
Right contact lense in first, left one first out.
On the rare occassion I stack the dishwasher it HAS to be done a certain way.
I'm not sure I should admit to many more.

Im obsessed with the shopping. When we back from the supermarket I have to put it away in my own special way .
not saying the cupboards are regimented but if I find things out of place , it does my head in and I have to sort it out there and then. I Have been known to "spit my dummy " at times.
All my family and freinds agree that its only the start of things to come for me ,,,dont know what they mean!
