Bodily Oddities

Post Reply New Topic

Does anyone have any boddily oddities? Maybe enhanced by your condition?

My first one is the fact I can give myself goosebumps at will. It's due to my left ear being very sensitive and picking up sounds even if there aren't any, and them sending a shiver down my spine.

My second one is the fact I have an NT ear and an Aspergers ear. The NT ear hears things normally. The aspergers ear is a lot more sensitive to irritating noises.

My third one is that the frown muscles in my right eyebrow don't work. So I have one sad looking forwny eyebrow, and one that looks normal.

I'm a genetic mess.

I don't have anything quite as intriguing as that, but I do have a dent in the back on my head which is easily the size of a 10p piece.

One of my eyebrows is set slightly higher than the other, so I can do a Mr Spock/The Rock eyebrow lift without much trouble. Unfortunately, though I can't do a Vulcan nerve pinch or the Rock Bottom, as my co-ordination sucks.

I'm double-jointed.

I get goosebumps easily.

I have a high gag reflex.

I am prone to getting "swimmer's ear."

I have double jointed toes

I have hands that are too big for me, if that counts.

Yeah I used to get stuff in my ears from swimming all the time, too. I don't think i'm double jointed... but I can do these with my hands.

Wow that's awesome. Haha I can't do that. I can do the top one though.

I just tried doing the second one and it didn't work for me.

I cam snort water up my left nostril, and squirt it out of my tear duct.

Don't think so...but I am very flexible and can lie with my knees next to my ears when I bend myself right.

mememe i got a deformity of sorts. in my family there is a rogue gene that makes the lower jaw carry on growing after the rest of you has stopped. at 13 i looked like a fairly normal ifskinny kid but by 14/15 i had an underbite of a centimetre and a half, (ie that was the difference between my teeth when they are bitten together).

i had to wait until i was 21 to have the surgery to correct this and now my face is held together with nuts and bolts

other than that i have fairly slightly oversized flat feet and hands and my muscles are kind of spring loaded.

a woman in my class has hypermobility in her joints and can do things like splits with her back leg bent up to touch the back of her head. i am only slightly jealous of her!

my ears can move

I can pick my nose with my tongue (hours of laughs for NTs but I usually resist doing it cause it tastes nasty)

My chest breaks out in a rash when I am concentrating extremely hard (All 3 of my brothers do this as well, but for different reasons. In two of them it is caused by extreme anger and/or anxiety, and in the other it is caused by extreme embarrassment)

The outermost joint of my thumb bends in both directions. I think this is referred to as "hitchhiker's thumb" but I'm not sure.

I can contort either arm so that I can scratch my middle and upper back without a back scratcher. One of my brothers can do this as well.

My eyes have a condition called horizontal nystagmus, so that they will rapidly vibrate back and forth if I fix them on a given point for very long. This one freaks the NTs out too.

I can guess how much a child weighs within about 5 pounds by picking them up.

I can usually guess the temperature within about 5 degrees by walking outside.

I'm somewhat larger than the rest of my imediate family, though I'm of average height.

I also don't have any feeling in my rectum.

I have double-jointed thumbs, asymmetrical bone structure on my face, scoliosis, and an abnormally large bone in my chest that juts out.
