looking at things so they line up ?

[iuuyyueww]

this is an odd behaviour to describe

is it even an aspergers behaviour ?

anyway, looking at things, and altering your body position and eyes, so they line up

 

[Cerulean]

Yesssss. Or crossing my eyes slightly until they overlap. I do this almost constantly when I can and it's one of the most relaxing things I can do without looking strange.

 

[Spiller]

These stims, yes! Opening one eye and closing the other alternately, to alter the position of objects, particularly straight edges..

Or just my own curiosity and love of optical illusions trying to see which perspective is a self made optical illusion and, which is not. I will go measure the objects and, their distance from a fixed point to see if they are actually in line and, it's the not in line that is my eyes fooling me.

 

[On the Inside]

Certainly yes, Point of View is very much an interest of mine.

This is too new a thought for me to know.
Later I will know. IDK whether this is because I definitely don't,
or whether it will take time to know what it means.

If I could just see one thing when there IS only one thing,
that would be nice.
Astigmatism.

 

[iuuyyueww]

especially when looking out my curtains
I make sure the end of the curtain lines up with the end of the house from the window view

Has this got anything to do with looking
in such a way so that outward reality
is no longer in three-d? So that it is a
flat (2-D) image?

I used to do that.

Reminds me of my chifferobe. It didn't seem quite level so I placed some supports under it to level it out. Looking at it through a door frame, I noticed the door frame is perfectly parallel to the chifferobe in my bedroom.

But I've always thought of that relative to my OCD and little else. That everything should be parallel or perpendicular to everything else. With the possible exception of my living room chair in the corner, which sits at a 45% angle relative to everything else.

Much of anything that catches my eye that doesn't line up in some way annoys me.

 

[tachyon]

This is great - I never thought about this being a stim, but you could be right.
I do the following -

• Look at a nearby object and allow my eyes to lose focus until I see two images of the one object. Then I will alternately open/close each eye seeing the object move and change position on the background while still out of focus.
• Look at a distant object with a vertical surfaces (such as a wall) and bring my focus in (as if trying to focus on a nearby object) until the two ends of the wall meet & I see two complete walls or even buildings.

I've done this for as long as I can remember (which is a long time) & it has freaked a couple of people out when they've seen me doing it

 

[Axeman52]

Oh yes, I know exactly what you mean. I have always done this, and never really given it much thought. E.G. when I'm sitting in front of the TV I try to make the edge of the remote line up perfectly against the edge of the screen from my field of vision.

I do that sort of thing a lot without even thinking about it.

I have been surrounded by mechanical items,machinework and mechanical engineering my entire life. My OCD tendencies have led me to hold machined tolerances of .00005 inches or 1.27 microns when necessary. My work in metal fabrication requires exacting placement of parts before welding or bending. I live in a hyper-analyzed world where objects are compared for alignment,symmetry,patterns and correctness on the fly.When I perform a task,my measurements are backed up with whatever means I have available.

Some day I will finish going crazy.
I just hope I am on the correct trajectory
