They make me feel real good for some reason. Plasma globes, green fluorescence, bioluminescent jellyfish, lasers etc. all give me this trippy euphoric feeling.

They make me feel good too, and they hypnotize me as well @_@

My post counts too low to post links but I'm watching some youtube videos that are putting me into a hypnotic trance here too.

Yes! I always wanted a lava lamp as a kid, but I never got one. :( Recently, I downloaded an app on my iPod called Awesome, which makes little sparkly things that you can move around on the screen with your finger. It is awesome! :lol: I also like watching screensavers.

Certain colors affect me the same way. There used to be a house that my bus would pass by, that was a weird shade of green that seemed to vibrate. It gave me a happy, low stim kind of joy to look at it.

I know what you mean, I badly wanted a plasma globe as a kid but they were way too expensive back then. Nowadays they are cheap though so I really need to get one. Staring at it with the lights on doesn't do it for me but staring at one in the dark triggers the euphoria. Its like that in general, seeing these glowing, lights in the dark is what triggers the euphoria.

Colours themselves don't do it for me but shiny colours do. I don't know the word for it but you know what irredescence looks like, the way each colour you see shines. Thats what I mean. I ordered piracetam over the internet recently and it came in the shiny turquoise bag and my god, just taking a quick glimpse at this bag triggers a burst of euphoria. I've tried plenty of drugs but nothing compares to this feeling.

They don't get used in raves and concerts for nothing, they stimulate everyone a bit unconsciously but I guess aspies just have a bigger interest towards the 'little' things that most non-aspie people don't care about.

Yes they do, but I must also qualify that by saying that I did a lot of LSD when I was young.

That may be the real bottom line. As Aspies, we take everything in, have that attention to fine detail and can appreciate the simpler things in life as being so richly rewarding. I wonder how many kids these days sit on front porches for hours on end with a bottle of bubble mix, blowing bubbles as my sister and I used to do... or get enjoyment from a "push, push, turn it loose and watch it go" toy car. Toys were all "Batteries Not Required" when I was a kid. Batteries were only used in flashlights and cars back in 1955.

It feels very nice. I miss having a lava lamp or those... shocky things. I see them at Spencer's and just HAVE to touch them.
