What is this called?
Hi all! So for context, I(22F) am neurodivergent. I was diagnosed eith ADHD, dyslexia and autiam beyween the ages of 10-12. So, I know im neurodivergent, but i was wondering what this particular trait is called, and if someone else experiences this.
I have this thing where everything has to be even. For example, I cannot have one sock on, I either have to have both socks on or neither sock on. The textures can be different, just 2 socks or 0 socks must be on my feet. The same goes for shoes, execept they have to be the same shoe. This goes for gloves as well. If one glove is on, another one must be on. Also, tbis applies to wetting hands. Both hands/feet must be wet or they cant be wet. When things arent even, i feel extremely uncomfortable and irritable, and get irrationally angry, to the point to where i have a meltdown.
As a scientist, this effects my everday life bc I have to wear both gloves in yhe lab, and my PI gets a little annoyed with me bc Im wasting gloves, but I cannot complete my lab tasks if i only have one glove on.
But anyway, does anyone else experience this? what is this trait called?
Thanks sm and have a great day 😋
