Sensorys that feel good

Post Reply New Topic

We always talk about what we cant stand but I wanted to start a positive discussion!

Come on we deserve a break from being miserable

Things I like:

Smell: Fresh bread, lynx aftershave, burnt matches, the back of my hand
Touch: Bubble wrap, play dough, burying my hand in sand deep, the back of my hand where the veins are squishy

Another thing I sleep with a thick duvet all wrapped up like a cocoon I love the pressure of it, I read that this can be an autistic trait.

Things i like

Smell: Pine, old books, rain (yes the smell of rain, does that sound odd?).
Touch: Anything water, dough, wet sand, smooth stones (i love to rub them).
Sound: The sound of water (waves, rain, rivers) panflutes, the music i like of course, cats purring.

I also like being wrapped in a thick duvet, but i dont use it like a cocoon, i just snuggle inside real tight. I cant sleep without anything heavy ontop of me.

If you tickle my back, I will sleep like a log.

Smell: rain (I agree it smells good), fruit, new books, old books, the plastic wrapped around D.V.Ds, V.H.Ss, change (mmm pennies), mint gum, metal, welding, slightly singed popcorn, flowers, blown out matches, certain herbal teas

Touch: cat fur, jean material, polyester, skin (sounds weird ^^' I know), anything soft, cars (the paint feels nice), buttons, freshly sanded wood, paper, sand, nylon

Sound: the sound of my ceiling fan, movies played low, music, my grandma's voice, water gently running

Touch: rubbing my palms against my jeans, my face in a slightly fluffy blanket
Taste: smooth chocolate, the fizz in a poured carbonated drink
Smell: freshy washed clothes, baby powder, meat cooking
Sounds: a fan going, that dull roar you hear when you have earplugs/headphones on

eucalyptis, new mown grass, horse sweat on leather

fur,fur,fur,fur


pushing your muscles to the edge(lifting weights,climbing trees or rock piles)


acquiring new information,solving a puzzle, inventing something, fixing something

I respond mainly to sound and touch.

Sound: Get brass instruments on the "just tuning" system rather than the bastardized equal temperament, and I get some great synesthesia. Certain voices, flowing water, rain are good.

Touch: soft and furry (my cat, piece of wool, etc) cool and smooth (again, water is good), fine sand.

Yes! Fur I love fur, there is something so odd about it oh and the heavyness of a baby or a cat on my lap/shoulder, i like to wrap my arms around it and feel the slight heavyness, this is why i sleep with a teddy bear still

my sensory based obsessions are straps, blood pressure cuffs, tight warm things and places, deep pressure, being mummy wrapped, extremely tight hugs, blood pressure cuffs, lead aprons, soft latex/PVC thingys, silky thingies, neoprene

When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know.

Autism Speaks will NEVER speak for me

CLASSIC AUTISM

Touch: The ball inside of computer mouses (they're so smooth!), Memory foam, balloons, squishy pillows, cold tile floor, hot water, hot sand, satin, heavy blanket, tight tight hugs, rabbit fur, skin, my boyfriend's hair, heavy rain.

Smell: baked sweets (like cupcakes or cookies), new books, new clothes, new plastic, the smell of thunderstorms, burning wood or leaves.

Hearing: windchimes

I sleep with a 'build a bear' hello kitty
she is soft, squishy, warm, and good for use as a pillow

Things I like:
smell: gasoline, acetone, rum, the smell of banana candies
touch: certain kinds of foam-rubber, sticks from a tree (not sawed ones), rubber, warm sand, fur

I love the smell you get when it's just stopped raining. Also cedarwood, palma rosa, and OLD BOOKS!

Sound: the 'cello - those deep tones! (Synestheia, yet. The 'cello is deep warm gold...higher strings and woodwind are pale, chilly blues and pinks - not so keen.)

Touch: the very top of my cat's head, warm paper fresh from the printer, the skin on Brie cheese.

And, I have to have the bedclothes right over my head (and tucked in at the sides and bottom, no gaps) or I cannot drop off.
