My sister got a Bluetooth headset and it reminded me that i cant use those because my ears heat up in less than 10 seconds after putting them on, in fact as i am typing this my ears are kinda of uncomfortably hot. Dust also cause my ears to heat, it usually the cause but it can also happen randomly as well as when i leave the PC monitor running when i sleep(same room).
there is some other stuff i thought to mention but i think it would be better for a post after discovering your body(e.g my cousin though all ppl can only see through one eye until recently because he himself can only see through one eye and that’s how he found out he has only one functioning eye)
Also feel free to talk about NSFW stuff and is this post hard to read(sentence structure wise)? Cause i never know if ppl have hard time reading my post, and at the moment i find it hard to read myself
If I leave my stomach empty for too long, I can feel (and hear!) gas bubbles (?) coming up in my throat lining.
I have weirdly thick skin on and especially under my feet, so I can walk barefoot on ice and snow and not feel cold.
- I have a forked tongue
- I once hammered the back of my sinuses hard enough to draw blood
- I can make my shoulder blade pop out
- I can keep my eyes open for 5-10 minutes
I can clap each of my hands individually. What’s the sound of one hand clapping? Lemme show you twice at once! Also, it’s not elegant, but me flailing about in a controlled manner.
I can wiggle my ears.
I can pop pretty much every joint. Some hurt more than others. The crapshoot ones are my hip joints. Usually hurts then massive relief.
If I yawn the wrong way (usually when turning my head), my hyoid bone shifts and gets stuck. I have to move it back in place by hand, carefully. That was a scary discovery.
I have had permanent tinnitus since about April of 2023. (Kill me)
If I’m congested and I blow my nose, snot can come out of my right eye’s tear duct.
I have dysgraphia. I fucking hate writing by hand. It’s painful, it shoots up my arm, and my handwriting is always terrible. I regularly make mistakes. I stopped using cursive entirely about 20 years ago, and now only use capital print letters (with a larger first letter for each word). Example: https://ibb.co/YPPDKFq
My neck clicks whenever I turn to the right.
Not myself, but my wife. We live in the country side with two cats, and they have a cat flap, 24/7 access. My wife can smell a dead mouse nearly from the second it’s dead. She complained last week about it smelling like death in our hallway, and we couldn’t find the source. It took two days for me to smell it, and then it was gone a few days later. We think it died in the ceiling, so couldn’t do much about it. But her smell for death is crazy!
I can make the Vulcan “live long and prosper” sign, but only with my left hand.
I can feel when lights are turned on or shine at me. Taking photos with a flash for example feels like a hot wave to me. I think that is a side effect of my ASD, the poor stimulus filtering to be exact
Also I can hear most electric devices because of that. Charging them for example has a loud high frequency noise. Not just cheap chargers, almost all electronic devices
I absolutely loathe shoes and boots because it causes my feet to overheat and then my whole body feels uncomfortable. I am a dedicated sandal wearing unless there’s literally snow outside.
One of my teeth is sort of in the middle of my mouth - I had an issue with it not coming in straight so an ortho pulled it down through the roof of my mouth and it was never really worth it to pull it into place. It’s fun to fidget with with my tongue.
I sometimes feel the same thing at different spots of my body.
Like if someone pinches the skin on my back I could feel the pain of the pinch on my shoulder as well.
When laying in dark, any smallest sound makes a bright flash appear in my eyes, before I realize there was a sound. So I am always surprised when it happens, and fraction of a second later I realize there was a sound. So it’s Synesthesia, but from Wish.
Synesthesia. I can see sound. Really neat, actually.
Not so neat is my aparent genetic resistance to pain meds and anesthetics. Caused some “fun” in a hospital stay
I have photic sneeze reflex aka sudden exposure to bright light tends to make me sneeze. Usually happens if I’ve been indoors for a while and then walk out into a bright sunny day.
For a long time never really thought about it, just figured it was a normal thing. Wasn’t until adulthood that I started noticing most people don’t do that and looked it up. If Wikipedia is correct 18% - 35% of the world’s population has that condition.
I can dislocate my joints at will. Thing with Ehlers-Danlos but it’s a nice party trick
I can fold my ears in on themselves and they will stay that way until I smile.
Basically my ears are just super soft because I was always playing with them as a kid so the cartridge never really hardened up like it did for most other people.
As I have gotten older and played with my ears less they don’t stay folded as long but I can still do it.
