This post reminds me how things that terrify most NT kids didn't faze me one bit. Here are some examples.
Monsters under my bed. I always knew there was nothing under there, except my slippers and a whole lot of dust.
The dark. I had no problem with sleeping in a dark room. I also founds nighttime a lot more pleasant than daytime.
Water. Even during my first swimming lesson, I went into the pool without one bit of fear.
Strangers. Most of them were nicer to me than people I knew, so the concept of fearing strangers seemed questionable.
Ghosts. The only thing I felt while walking past a cemetary was a mild sense of pity for the departed.
