She has 20 mugs that's are "hers' that no one else is allowed to use.

Own small dinner plate, maybe for portion control I don't know. Has to served her dinner on her plate, not an issue if we go out but she does always say she eats too much and sore stomach.

Own butter (although it's vegetable spread lol).

Constantly walking of by herself to smoke and be by herself. Went to a caravan and she would just sit outside chain smoking.

Had to change wallpaper (type you paint over) as it was patterned and made her eyes funny.

Cinema makes her feel light headed.

Quirks or ND?

I was fully behind the increase in awareness of ND and mental health conditions but think in some ways, the pendulum has swung too far.

People still have personalities, characteristics, quirks, habits and so on.

Oh for fuck's sake. Give it a rest.

Quirks
Most people have a favourite mug that is 'theirs' (ok 20 is a lot and a bit odd)
Plate for portion control - fine
Own butter (not sure what that means, do you mean in her own house, or does she carry spread around with her?)
She's a chain smoker - she's going to have to spend a lot of time on her own.
Wall paper and cinema - I'm totally with her on those, both make me feel funny.

Quirks. Don't see what's particularly ND about them! It's just personal habits. If they annoy you, give yourself some space.

Quirks. People can still have them these days without necessitating a label.
