Anybody find it comforting and entrancing to repeat things you love? I watch the same movie at times nearly every day; listen to the same song for hours. They will end and come to a conclusion and I just start at the beginning again. At times I'll watch the same scene until I practically memorize it, and think about the things I repeat throughout the day. Read the same poem all day. Someone once said I might have ocd, but to me it's because there are some things I just love so much i have to keep experiencing them nonstop, and there are nuances every time. I don't really like listening to new music because I already know what music makes me happy. I don't often watch new movies because I already have my coffer full. But I don't think it's ocd--it's more like being totally into something so I can't leave it be. And with each time I relive something like a song it's like seeing it again for the first time. I've known other autistics who have similar things. and I am wondering what it is about the mind that can make a person latch onto something so completely, what it does for the brain to rewind and start at the beginning of the things that are life giving. What things do people here do on repeat?
