Do all Aspies have problem with light, sound, being touched,

Post Reply New Topic

I also don't like mint smells or taste especially toothpaste. Most toothpaste seems to contain mint.

But I like chocolate mint ice cream somehow.

You know, I don't have a lot of those sensory problems. I use to be afraid of loud noises (ie fire alarms in buildings) but that it quickly getting much better for me.

I'm emotionally sensitive to temperature. I hate it when the temperature gets below 3 degrees in winter, because I hate snow. When I was a child, I used to want it to snow, so I could be off school (normal kid thing!) but it never did snow enough to close the school off. Now when I've begun to hate the snow, it's starting to snow more for some reason. Typical! Just typical!
That's being emotionally sensitive to temperature (I think).

But everyone is physically sensitive to temperature. That's why they sell coats, gloves, scarves and hats. And wooly jumpers.

I dislike white light with a passion. So during winter I tend to wear sunglasses on cloudy days as the total glare gives me migraine with aura. Florescent light as well is a major issue with me. Some sounds cause me physical sensations of discomfort, such as certain vacuum cleaners. Additionally, musically, I have perfect pitch, and when I hear out of tune playing, even slightly out of tune, it causes me real discomfort. Also I don't much like being touched uninvited. I hate how I have to shake everybody's hand when I meet them. At least among young people now you can just give 'props' which I prefer to do though I despise 'urban' culture
