I've read that Aspies often have a favorite feel/color/other sensory input, and I was just wondering what other people's was.
I love smooth feeling objects, and blue is my favorite color.

I love to touch soft objects. Rub my finger over my valour pants or over my soft toothbrush. I love the colors red and blue.

I love round objects, and I like all shades of green.

My favorite feel is anything very,very soft-like my blanket, cashmere (sp?) or cashmere-like material.

My favorite smell 5:00PM, I know that sounds weird, and I know that doesn't make sense, but I can smell 5:00. It doesn't always happen at 5, but it is just a smell.

I don't really have a favorite color that soothes me. Nor really a sound...at least that I can think of...

Your question reminds me of an exhibit at the San Francisco Exploratorium, in which you sit on a chair and lower a dome over your head. The dome is lit with a solid color that surrounds your entire field of vision, and you can adjust the color with a dial. The purpose is to pay attention to how you feel with each color, and notice which colors make you feel certain ways.

I remember that the yellow was jarring, and made me feel suddenly irritable. There was a light turquoise color that gave me an intense feeling of peace and happiness.

I'm not sure about specific sensory things that I like.

Me too! If anything looks smooth I must touch it and people usually find this really weird. My favourite colour is also blue. My favourite smell is coffee. I don't have a favourite sound that I can think of.

Being under a feather comforter.

The smell of a new book.

Patterns on walls and floors.

My cat's infrequent, quiet, oh-so-polite meow.

I like soft materials and spining objects and colour violet... But I hate colour red, cuz it distracts me and makes me feel irritated and angry...

I like it when I have something ground-corn based in my mouth, like a chip and I get to chew it between my molars - that grinding on ground corn with my teeth is my favorite feel.

I like green.

I like the smell of my childhood linen closet that held glue, crayons, linens, detergents, paper, etc.

I love the feel of satin.. the look of pink, pruple and lace.

I love the feel and texture of a cats fur.

My fav feeling is touching metal, of course... :wink: Brass, aluminium, steel, nothing better than this!

My fav colour: first: old worn brass! second: silver. Third, every other colour. Some I like better, some I like less, but I don't hate any colour.

My fav smell: brass again! :D and 4711, a fragrance I and my mom use.

I like pale colours like blue, green and yellow.

I like the feel of soft things. My cat has very soft fur, to bad she is always dirty. I don't like the feel of dirt.
I bought a t-shirt from America and it's got this super soft fabric. I always rub it against my face.

Smells...hmm. I can't tolerate a lot of smells. I used to gag whenever I entered a new age shop, lol. I like the smell of some fruits and if my favourite meal is cooking, like butter chicken..mmm. I like the smell of rain too.

Ah, a fellow metalphile I see! I love the smooth feel of metal as well and actually do some blacksmithing on the weekends!

My favorite smell---turkey and dressing on Thanksgiving. I love this because besides smelling so good to me, it reminds me of when I was growing up and going to my grandparents' house on Thanksgiving and Christmas. I loved entering their house and being met with that aroma. As a child, it was magical. My grandparents' property was magical to me when I was a child. In the woods behind their house were caves. My grandfather always told me a bear lived in one of them.

My favorite color---blue

My favorite feel---have to think on this one. I know it has to be something soft---perhaps soft sheets on the bed during cold weather when I like to cover up.

My favorite sound---I love the sound of a theatre pipe organ.

I love soft towels--the softer the better.

Favorite sound: Bagpipes
Favorite color: Orange (a while back I went on a rampage and had orange toothpaste, mouthwash, chewing gum, and a number of other items)
Favorite smell: I'm sure I have one, but haven't given that any thought.

I suppose at the moment it's the sound and feel of pouring/dropping a small neck chain. I like the pressure of walls, metal and loose thread too. I love the smell of cardboard and warm paper.

As for colour, nothing now. But I had an obsession with orange a couple of months back.
