Hair pulling?

Hello I have been diagnosed with asperger's about half a year ago and I was wondering if there were other hair pullers (trichsters) here? I have read somewhere that trichotillomania and asperger's might somehow be linked but I don't know. Any information on this would be appericated :)
 
I did, when I was a kid. Eyelashes and eyebrows. Actually, I haven't thought about that in a long time, and I never made the connection!
 
I know Clay Marzo does it.I did it briefly during school, I'd pull out black hair I'd have, it just didn't look right so I'd pull it out.
 
I pull out long eyebrow hair and facial hair if it gets long enough. I try to keep them trimmed short, but I also like to run the eyebrow hair under my fingernails, which "feels better" when it is short.

I also keep my hair cut short, otherwise I will twirl it and tickle my ears with it almost constantly, unless I keep my hands busy.

Playing with my hair is my most bothersome, obvious and satisfying stim.
