Senses

Post Reply New Topic

So on a scale from one to ten, with 10 being the strongest, how would rate the strength of each of your five senses?

Sight 10
Hearing 10
Touch 8
Taste 10
Smell 5

My sense of smell is not that strong, but the interesting thing is a certain bad smell can make me nautious. Go figure

sight 10
hearing 10
touch 10
taste 10
smell 10

i cant compare my senses to anything...

I know a big problem for me where I worked previously was trying to ignore conversations I felt like I could hear through the walls. It's so hard to try to not repsond to sounds that seem to be magnified by times 10.

The other evening I jumped, because a neighbor two houses down and across from us cleared his throat. Something so simple, but imagine how affected we are by this in public and other social sitautions. Tiny sounds that others are able to tune out our brains seem to pick up like a microphone. Sometimes I think I could hear a spider coughing when I'm outside.

Touch 10 I can "feel" objects a few feet away from me.
Hearing 9
Taste 5 (I never really give it much thought).

Sight 4

Smell 2 (Apparently, I can't smell worth a darn).

Sight 8
Hearing 10
Touch 10
Taste 10
Smell 10

Sight 8
Hearing 11 (a real issue with me and also I got big ears, both true but last one, haha)
Touch 9
Taste 9
Smell 8

I seem to be most affected by touch, bright lights and high temperatures. as to sounds, smells and tastes I'm not really sure since I have no comparison, I do jump up a lot from sudden sounds which I perceive to be extremely loud but maybe that's just because they really ARE that loud? I don't know... I do have issues with people talking simultaniously, gives me a great headache and I can't stand it for longer than a few seconds.

some smells make me nauseaus to a point where some NTs think I'm pregnant LOL but that doesn't happen a lot.

I think they would be about the same, so 10 for all

Hi,

I hear you, Age, or I understand, haha.
Regretfully I can't say it becomes less with age.
With me I tend to have fases or periods where I am annoyed s**tless(?) and other time is soso. What triggers it; I don't know. Lately it is overwhelming me and I go aggressive really, ARGG, needless to say, you know it.

Best of luck to you,
C.

Smell: 10 See my other thread - driving me nuts

Taste: 9 There are certain foods and textures I just can't eat

Touch: 8 I stim alot playing with my fingers for the tactile sensation.

Hearing: 6 I hear everything going on around me, but I can tune it out to a degree... plus it's actually beneficial in my job to know what kind of calls people are working on so I can identify patterns. I also did considerable damage to my ears during the years I was a raver, which has probably lessened the intensity.

Sight : 4 I take a minute to adjust to bright light, but I wouldn't say much differently then an NT. I'm also somewhat night blind - I can see to drive at night, but if it's raining and dark, I can't see the lines on the road at all.

Sight 5 (wear contacts/glasses)
Hearing 10
Touch 8
Taste 8

I have extremely acute hearing and can see color at night in situations where most people are more or less blind.
