Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.
volume
Volume can be one of the trickier traits to master control of. I am a quiet person and speak quietly but when stressed or anxious I can get louder and lose my control of it. I tend to talk inwardly almost always because of my upbringing so I can vet and parse my thoughts before they blurt out. But I can sometimes cut someone to the bone offhandly if I do not think before I speak. I can be like a sledgehammer if I let my bluntness loose.I think these can also be worked on, it is basically slowing down your processing and parsing your thoughts before you speak. But I know it can be difficult to master that, it will feel like you take far longer to speak but it may help you more in the long run especially when speaking can stress you, be it how people react to what you say and for how you speak too
@khizuo@hexbear.net I wonder if hyposensitivity has something to do with the volume? I have really really perceptive hearing, and growing up I was accused of "mumbling" a lot, so for me I think my speaking volume is related to my sensory perception of how loud or quiet an environment is (and how loud or quiet my voice sounds out my mouth)
Taking longer to speak but being more careful sounds like a good skill, I gotta figure out how you talk inwardly @magi@hexbear.net
Shoot I was gonna split this up into two posts but phone not selecting text
I can list my traits lol easy enough I have a list.
Hyposensitivity list
HyposensitivityTactile hyposensitivity CW a little here but relevant.
Olfactory hyposensitivity
Taste hyposensitivity
Visual hyposensitivity
Vestibular hyposensitivity
Proprioceptive hyposensitivity
This is more something you have to work on and be conscious of, like stopping yourself from speaking for a second and think about what you are going to say then say it. It's like in internal filter.
waow
I relate to some of this a lot. A couple questions though:Is there a good way to cope with this/engage with it? I love this so much but obviously stuff is dirty and I shouldn't, or something.
Could you explain this one a bit, maybe how it is different from how NTs would prefer food? Because I definitely love and crave intense, specific flavors but I didn't connect that with autism.
Similar question, this one I don't think I experience, but what is that like for you?
Thank you, I always like reading you talk about your autism.
Can buy stuff that is easy to clean, I have snake bites so I play with the backs that are through my lip, but I want to get my tongue re-pierced to be able to play with it in my mouth again lol Get something that you can clean properly. You can get chew necklaces for example that would fit that.
I think it would probably be similar to some NT people but maybe more intense, I'd eat phaal curry for example which is one of the hottest curries you can eat. I just really like extreme flavours, like spicy heat to where it would probably hurt to eat lol.
Sometimes my vision would duplicate an object and i'd see them like drifting, again happens more when I'm exhausted or battery is low. Also more prone to it because of my astigmatism, can look up diplopia. I mainly have horizontal but it's infrequent thankfully.
No worries, I like talking about it, I did a lot of research lol
ooh, I hadn't considered your piercings being that way. Piercings rock, can't wait to get some. I actually didn't know you could get chew necklaces, maybe I should try something like that.
The seeing double stuff is wild, I had no idea.
Yeah the backs through my lip are fun to poke at or play with my tongue lol. Theres a surprising amount of stim toys now
Yeah some of my vision stuf can be strange when it happens. Doesn't usually last long though
