I've got a counting disorder. Had it for most of my life. I count almost all of the time, can't help it. Just in batches, and no higher than 5, but it could be 5 batches of 5. I count heights, shades of color, depths, groups, sizes, often I'll recount things, especially if I am supposed to be paying attention to someone by looking at their face. I'll count things out of the corners of my vision (that would be shades of color) or just count things on their face.....It used to be really bad in my twenties. Thought I'd need to seek some help for it, it was interrupting my daily functioning (eg: driving and I'm counting cracks in the road instead of paying attention to my driving). Now it's like background noise, sometimes I notice it more when I become stressed. But it's pretty much a part of me and that's alright by me too.
