Is this an Adhd/Neurodivergent thing or I'm just weird/quirky. Not dx with autism but do have adhd

🤔 is this a thing?

You know how numbers are like even numbers are great, odd numbers are weird except 5 sometimes. Well a lot of things have to done an even number of times. Like if I tap my fingers on something it has to be done at least twice but a lot of things 4 times depending on what it is. Like if I'm playing a mobile game I have to play a mode at least twice. If 2 isn't enough I have to play 4x cuz 3 is odd. Sometimes I wanna keep playing past 4 or I wanna get a better score so I'll do 6 but then I have to do 8 cuz even though 6 is even its 3 and 3 and 3 is an odd number. Sometimes I'll do 8 and think well I have to do 10 to make it complete but then 10 is 5 and 5 so I have to do 12 but 12 is to much and weird cuz its more than 10 so it doesn't feel complete like 10 but I don't want to play anymore so I stop there if I ever play that much.

If I fidget and I realize I did it an odd number of times I'll do extra to make it even. I work in childcare and usually nursery rhymes do a movement 3 times so sometimes I realize I did something an odd number of times and I'll quickly do it a 4th time. Especially turning in a circle. I'll turn right then left then right and realize I did one way once and the other way twice and they have to match and both be 2 so I'll add it in. If I don't do that or I don't have the energy to do full out the whole song I'll skip one so I only do 2 and if I accidentally skip one I'll add it back in. Stomp your feet in the song If you're happy and you know it always has 4 stomps instead of 3. 3 is just wrong almost always to me

TLDR: A lot of things are done an even number of times because odd numbers are wrong but not all even numbers are equal and 3 is wrong
