I follow routine. Routine and constants is one of the hallmarks of autism. It is order, and I adhere to a very strict routine of my own devising. I do everything the same way every day, the same time each day, and I put things away in the same place every day, the same time each day, and in the same order. My current morning routine is such: Get up, get a shower, get dressed, eat breakfast, take meds, go check the mail. Every day, I do exactly that. If someone calls me and disrupts that routine, my whole day is out of synch.
Each night, I have the following routine: Take off shoes, get a shower, get into pajamas, turn on router, get online. After my alarm goes off to tell me to go to sleep, I shut down the computer, turn off the router, put my stuff away, take my meds, do my exercise, and go to bed. The same thing every day. I keep my shoes in the same spot at the foot end of my bed, in the same order. My phone and glasses go on my windowsill in the same order.
Intense focus on one or a few particular subjects is also a trait of autism. For example, I am a HUGE Star Wars nerd and I also love bugs. My cousin who was diagnosed with Asperger's has an interest in vending machines. I've varied up my focuses over the years, but each time, they were very obsessive and I could rattle off all sorts of needless facts. Now I have a head full of trivia knowledge, which comes in handy for Armchair Jeopardy.
As for the talking... I didn't start talking until I was around two or three, and when I did, it was in complete sentences. I also had trouble with S's and with Th sounds. My S's sound like a Ts sound, and my Th's will vary between replacing the syllable with a D or a T at times for a soft Th, and my hard Th just sounds garbled. But, that's just a speech impediment, and not really related to autism.
Growing up, my social skills were in the toilet. The Internet, oddly enough, improved them. They're still bad, but they're not as bad. I mean, hey—I ran a booth at Celebration 6!
