By all means...
I'm still working my limited brainpower around the idea of a pattern in pi. Right now I'm in a hard to concentrate mode, so I'll roll it around another time.
Sometimes I'm laser focused, some time I'm on a dozen things at once.

Sure, I notice numbers a lot because I deal with them for my job.
Little odd things, like fruits and vegetables codes; I will automatically call them by their codes in my head when off the clock shopping. Some are more pleasing to remember than others that has nothing to do with the fruit or vegetable but rather with the number combinations. Others have weird connections for me. Like plum tomatoes(4087) are connected to green squash(4067) and those are connected to yellow squash(4086); green peppers(4681) are connected to red peppers(4688) and yellow peppers(4689) but orange peppers(3121) just had to be different, the fuckers. Bananas(4011) are boring because they are so popular and they come through all the fucking time. And apples are annoying because there are so many different kinds AND seasonal brands that trying to remember anything other than granny smith, red delicious or golden by sight is impossible.
Giving back change, if it's $1 and something cents, I always say "one dollar" instead of $1.24 as "one twenty four" because it makes me think I'm saying 100 something. As a result, sometimes when looking at the clock, I'll say the time in my head as dollars. Like 1:30 pm I sometimes think "a dollar thirty".
Sometimes the registers fuck up or get half broken but the store is too cheap so they make you run on it anyway while they wait to get it fixed, even though the scanner gun doesn't work. As a result, I know by heart the courtesy savings card number and the code for store-brand 32 packs of water. Because I'd rather type the code than lift the water over the scanner.
Whenever the time stamp on the receipt is at 12:34, I bring it to the customers' attention and tell them that they'll have good luck all day. Something my mother used to say.

In my case the twirling/untwirling is more ritualistic and calming than traits usually associated with OCD. Furthermore, my compulsion isn't a bad thing. It doesn't interfere at all with normal functioning which would be the case if it were OCD. Also, the behavior isn't driven by anxiety, as in OCD, but there is frustration if the ritual isn't completed, which is common in autism and Asperger's.
Obsessions and compulsions are both common in autism, but they are very different in antecedent and expression than those in OCD.

Anytime between 5:01 and 6:51 am or pm I think of a different face for most numbers. The association is we have a few less than 151 pieces of equipment that I regularly had to interact with. Each of them has one of those tags in my head, so I think 651 I think Mo. When it is 1/2 past six I see 630 and think of the crazy redhead. 555 reminds me of sneaking in to drop off cough drops to Julia on another rcrew once.
I keep seeing references and I wonder how many of us are somewhere on the autism spectrum.

I don't think I'm on the spectrum, though I do exhibit certain traits, which considering my son's (rather obvious) diagnosis isn't all that surprising if one considers the growing pile of evidence for a genetic component to the disorder.
By the way, Asperger's is out (as is autistic disorder, childhood disintegrative disorder and PDD NOS). According to the new DSM V criteria they now all fall under the single umbrella of Autism Spectrum Disorder. I'm not sure what I think about that, but this thread probably isn't the place for that discussion.

Posts like this make me sick because of all of the misinformation. No offense to the poster.---^
There is nothing wrong with you and you like labels instead of medical fact.
OCD: "Sense of impending doom if a situation or action is not completed a specific way."
So, of course it calms you. OCD. Sorry about your luck. Anxiety has nothing to do with OCD, the term you should use is excitement. Whether it is bad or not is up to you. Just because you aren't howard hughes fucknuts crazy does not mean you do not have OCD.
The fact that you say 'compulsion and obsession are common in Autism' shows what you do not know.
See a professional. Self diagnosis is for chumps.
Being an 'aspie' as people call it these days thanks to that stupid tv show, is not good, cute , or an easily liveable thing. The only difference between an autistic and an 'aspie' is that someone with Aspergers can talk and generally knows how to use a toilet.
Autism is one step away from schizo. OCD is to Autism as atmosphere is to fish in the ocean.
It's a perm Disability. It is not 'out of the DSMV' BTW, they changed the rating system so dumb bitches like this don't go "Oh I'm so Aspie with my no existent OCD."
So how do you know 'what's common with people with autism and Aspergers?' Are you saying you're autistic? Because that's a bold claim.

Far fewer than most would think.
The 'average' statistical rate is 1 in 1000, or 1 in 10000 depending on who you ask.
Out of that how many are 'functional' do to classic parenting?
Out of the remainder, how many are not schizophrenic?
Out of that remainder, how many are not PDDNOS?
Out of that remainder, how many are not schizoid/sociopathic?
It's less than you think which is why they changed the DSM V for 'Spectrum'; Accurate diagnosis.
The only thing in the DSM V that should worry anyone is that smoking one cigarette a day is considered being schizophrenic.

You have my terms. I offered to meet you halfway so you can run your big mouth to me, to my face. If you're not man enough, so be it. I already knew that.
