Actually, he does all of these things. I just always assumed it was part of his autism, but now I wonder if he may be agnosic as well. He also has apraxia. Thanks for the insight!

Collars are extraordinarily painful on my neck.  Pants and underwear can give me bladder spasms.  I cannot wear knee socks two days in a row, without extreme discomfort.  I have to keep rotating socks: ankle, knee, pantyhose.  I have to wear loose dresses -- can't imagine how men survive having to wear pants every day.
