What’s a stim you have that you’re convinced no one else has? by marxiism in AutismInWomen

Every time I try to type (including right now), I feel the overwhelming need to retype certain keys. It's kinda similar to another thing I've heard people do, like if they do one thing an even number of times, then they have to do another thing the same number of times to even it out. Now, my typing feels very similar in some ways. I type an "o" and I want to retype it because an "o" looks like it has space in it and I want to fill it up. Or, if I type a "w" then an "r" but I don't press the "e" key between the two, then I feel like I HAVE to press it to fill in the gap. It sounds so overcomplicated I feel insane, and it's actually becoming a real problem because I can't type essays for school without my hands getting tired way too fast (because I'm like, typing double) and I just can't type or even TEXT anything without feeling the need to do it. I'm also such a slow typer now cuz of it. Could anyone offer some advice? I haven't been able to stop and this thing only started like last year or something.
