Some auties experience some kinds of pain as neutral or enjoyable. So it's not that unusual. Of course, sometimes it hurts way worse than it ought to, which is probably just as common.

There's something weird about tooth pain. It's not enjoyable but it's rivetting or something. It blots out everything else.

mm maybe it's like headbanging (something I don't quite understand), I think the pain of it releases endorphins and blocks out everything else or something like that. Maybe the headbangers can explain.

I'm the opposite. I can't stand tooth pain. I usually have a high pain tolerance, but tooth pain really bothers me.
