I Have a Mental Illness

I have autism spectrum disorder level 2 out of 3 levels of severity, and I have 2 comfort items. One I just got and I'll bring to school, the other one is a stuffed elephant named Henry that I've had since I was 6 months. Is this normal for autistics?

Yes it is very normal , I have two autistic siblings and they have comfort items as well. They can not go a day without them. I don't have autism and I have a comfort item too , a blanket my mom gave me as a child , I use it everyday.
