That dosn't make you weird. It makes you aspie. My son have a love for a ball, it brings him security. He used to carry a football made from tire tread everywhere he went. Now he is down to a bouncy ball in his pocket so it is discrete. A friend of his has a piece of twine in his pocket, he keeps adding feed bag strings together and keeping them. He lost it at our house one time I thought he was gonna have a total melt down. We found it. That is not the most terrible thing to have. When it comes to the blanket that is a little tougher. Have you thought about cutting squares of blanket or material that meets your texture needs and sewing in to the necks of your shirt on the inside. It is a simple tactic that kids who need, really need, there blankets use.

As for weird words, none here. Everything I say is weird. Good luck w/ that.
