Something around the neck

Hello! My first post here.

I am 24 years old. I have a really strange problem. It just started one day for about a year ago. Probably nobody else who got this problem in the world. I know it sounds stupid.

But when I'm home. I feel the need to knit something around my neck. I do this immediately after I get home. First thing I do. I use whatever is comfortable, and it needs to be tight. I usually just knit around one of my t-shirts or singlets very tight. There is nothing pysically on my neck, its 100% psychological.

If I don't do this I just sit and scratch my neck non-stop, and start pressing on my jaw and stuff, and I can't relax at all. I just think about that I want something around my neck so I can relax.

The strange thing is that I don't have this if Im at the gym, playing fotball, going for a walk outside etc. But always occur when I'm sitting down. But I have experienced on a few occations where I'm sitting down and talking to good friends or something that I have completely forgotten about it. It doesnt happen often though.

I have gotten a asperger's syndrome, I'm not a very social person, but I do wish to be. Don't know if thats relevant. Do anyone have an idea of how I can get over this thing? It's kind of problematic when Im having people over and I need to knit one of my singlets around my neck very tight.

Do excuse my poor english skills. Thank you

I do know that some people who have an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) which is how Asperger's is classified in the US find certain types of tight clothing comfortable and desirable.

Maybe you can find someone who is knowledgeable about Asperger's and ASD to answer your questions about this.
That was very funny.

I don't really know very much about your situation. I started to wait to let someone more knowledgeable respond.

I have fibromyalgia, though, and after I got it, it became very uncomfortable for me to wear tight clothing. So if I invite friends over, I will want to be wearing something like this:



I hope you find some answers.

hahah. I see how that can be funny. anyways I never wear tight clothing. When I was younger I couldn't stand have anything around the neck. It doesn't make any sense to me. I was hoping it would go away, but its been like this for 15 months now, still hope it will pass though. not sure if it will
