Autism 3 is only beginner level.
My comment from the original post:
I can’t go to clubs or listen to the sound of Velcro™, and I don’t like the texture of paper. Also, most autistic people I meet assume I am also autistic.
The fact that I can also give a basic history of the ITV network, install Gentoo, talk for hours about PSAs, and theorise as to why none of the characters in The Simpsons ever age is just the icing on the cake.
Swap Velcro with cotton balls and that’s me. Gives me goosebumps and spine shivers just thinking about it creak when squeezed.
Wool for me! I think I bit the sleeve of a wool sweater as a kid once and my teeth still feel that creaking whenever I think about it
styrofoam and cardboard for me.
I have no idea how to explain to a normal person what the sound is sandpaper feels like
My partner can be made to feel ill by the sound of terracotta grinding, and I can’t handle car breaks that squeak without feeling like a fishhook is exiting my body.
I love paper and velcro but synthetic fibers are genuinely torture
Hm I hate the flimsy kind of plastic like on top of a ketchup bottle or the aluminum piece covering things like joghurt and stuff. I flinch and have to look away whenever I have to peel it from something.
I cant stand oil, like any kind of oil at all. It just feels so icky on my skin and thats why I dont fry things often
When you say oil do you also mean waxes? And is there a difference between plant and animal oils? What about wax like in candles?
The difference between oil and wax is whether they are solid or liquid at room temperature. Higher saturation fats are more likely to be solid at room temperature, and longer chain fats are the same, so a long highly saturated fat is likely to be very solid at room temperature and therefore hard and waxy.
I find that vegetable oils excluding olive oil are pretty awful on my skin, but animal fats tend to be less of an issue. Tallow and coconut oil are my favourites for texture for animal and plant respectively, and while butter is OK ghee is strangely nasty.
I just meant any type of oil, but its like a spectrum
vegetable oils suck the most
candlewax and tallow are ehh
same
even if a tiny droplet touches my hands my day is half-ruined
Viscose is technically synthetic but it’s organic from trees, it’s breathable and really comfortable. Best sheets imo. Stuff like modal too.
Theorize on why characters in The Simpsons never age
My theory is that they are cartoons and the animators don’t want to draw them differently.
In-universe, I mean
