I was only diagnosed as an adult, so I’ve been thinking back and wondering if specific sensory experiences are more of an everyone experience or autistic experience. Let me know if you have felt these and whether or not y’all have/are autistic.
-vitamin filled drinks of any sort burn your throat
-honey in tea does not soothe the throat it makes it dry
-volume of public toilets flushing is unbearable
-there is not a single type of comfortable clothing tag. They are all evil
-squishy/slimy with chunks is an abominable food texture, which makes anything from porridge to pie to stew very hard to manage
-tennis shoes have to be tied the exact same tightness
-leaning against warm store deli cases and cars pleases the inner lizard greatly
-stuffing urself in a very small space where you are hidden and gently squished is Very Good (unless ur claustrophobic, which I am not)
-have to climb. I am in a tree. Wedged in the top of a doorway. On the roof. Somewhere I haven’t been told not to go.. anyway my parents tossed me at rock climbing gyms
-fridge is good hum. Lights are bad hum.
I could list more but I shan’t rn
