Hmm. I read that synesthesia is really common among autism spectrum people... does anyone else have it?
I also have bad direction perception, in that if someone calls my name, I usually have a very rough idea of where it's coming from, but that sense can easily be confused, especially if I'm concentrating, talking to someone else, or in a crowd, causing me to turn in a completely wrong direction.
Some textures, as well, especially with food, are very problematic, but thankfully they're few and very precise, like the feel of a grape's or tomato's skin sliding against my teeth, or the sliminess of an overripe banana, or any sort of corrugated or distressed texture (in material or food or anything, really.)
