Hello guys!
I know a lot of people discuss autistic people and their sensory issues, but as I'm continuing to reflect on my own set of traits, I'm realizing that I actually have a lot of positive sensory input, and I'd like to talk about them. I'm also eating some beans with my dinner and I realize how I absolutely freaking adore the texture of beans. (Weird I know but this is a safe space.) I'd like to hear everybody else's positive sensory inputs and why they're positive for you. Here are some of mine.
-Again, the texture of beans, I absolutely adore.
-The sound of music of course, but I can appreciate how I think my brain helps me enjoy it with my whole body.
-Cold air (between 45-60 degrees F.) early in the morning. No noise just quiet is a very specific feeling for me.
-Wind chimes. I grew up in an apartment complex and down one row of apartments it felt like everyone's garden was elaborate and nice. And garden decorations, like frogs, colorful stones, metal sunflowers. It felt like the best dream ever, and I remember the sound of wind chimes and it is euphoric for me to hear the sound of them even to this day.
-I realize growing up, I had a strong aversion to cheese, and dairy products (Not as much anymore.) I have avoided it most of my life. Vegetables feel safe to me, I don't have to think too hard about it when I'm eating them like when I'm eating dairy.
All of these are good sensory feelings for me among many others. I'm curious to know yours
