This is a question Bizarre habits

Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic tells us: "Until I pointed it out, my other half use to hang out the washing making sure that both pegs were the same colour. Now she goes out of her way to make sure they never match." Tell us about bizarre rituals, habits and OCD-like behaviour.

Palilalia.
Very mild autistic spectrum quirk.

I grew up before my my oddities were officially diagnosable, but people told me I would repeat under my breath what I'd just said. I'd deny it, as I wasn't conscious of it, and they they'd carefully stare at me and wait for me to do it again, which I generally would much to their amusement.

I forgot about this quirk as adults tend not to comment on this sort of thing. Upon reading descriptions of autistic behaviour and quirks about four years back, my scalp started burning with embarrassment at the number of things I'd been doing that were socially odd, and nestled among the cornering people, inappropriate comments and monochromatic wardrobes was this little neurological gem.

I suddenly remembered the teasing at school (there was so MUCH teasing that the subject of any particular session was lost to history), and I started listening to myself speak. I still do it, mostly if I'm thinking hard or very excited.
