Are these things autistic? Do you do them?

[Mummiepig]

So I'm newly diagnosed and I've been thinking about some of the more unusual things I do, I wondered if they are autistic or just me?

1. Repeating the punchline to a joke, if I'm telling a funny story I ALWAYS say the ending twice, it's so annoying but I can't stop my self eg " and then he dropped the trifle all over his shoes it was hilarious and he dropped the trifle all over his shoes"

I do it incase the other person didn't hear me or didn't get it but I know it must be annoying for them

1. I love cute things so much sometimes it hurts, if I see a really cute toy or animal I always say "awwwwwwww oh my god its just too cute" and I feel like it's hurting me in my chest cos it's so damn cute,
2. Along the same lines, I like to hug soft toys really hard, proper squashing them because they are too cute
3. If I see water I want to get in it, even if its freezing I have the urge to get in, the sea, rivers, pools, I love a pool or river with sun on it, the blueness of the pool, I love swimming and anywhere we go with water I have to get in and paddle and I hate it if I can't

That's all I can think of for now, is it autism or just me? Thanks 😊

I am scared of water and can't swim. But when I was little (from about aged 5) I used to love putting my hands in warm water so I'd fill up the sink and just put my hands in. I even started washing the pots at this age just because I liked having my hands in the water.

I also get the cute thing. If I find something so cute I almost experience an 'aggression' 😂 where I'm like "this is so cute I just want to absolutely squeeze the life out of it!"
