Good morning my #SensorySeeking #Autistic folks!

What's the last #food or drink you bought just to find out what it was? Show me, maybe I want to try it 😋

Here's mine. I got all three varieties they offer (not the blend, which has chamomile which I can't have). Delicious, and seems to help with my arthritis.

Piece of music that Brian really likes.

A little while ago someone had mentioned their children as one being "sensory seeking" and the other "sensory avoidant" and I really liked that shift in language to neurodivergance was so normalized in the context and immediately saw myself in it.

I'm definitely sensory seeking... not much sets me off. If it does I don't feel upset or disrupted by it. It just feels unpleasant and I stop. I hate mouth feels that are too mushy like overcooked, soft oatmeal, and I hate the feeling of corduroy.

But some things feel strange, or intense in a shock/unexpected way that gives me tingles and I like it. Like passion fruit ice cream, oe licking 9volt batteries

#ADHD #SensorySeeking

If you had the opportunity to intentionally enter the tunnel of Helping Hands from Jim Henson's Labyrinth (1986), would you do it?

For the purposes of this thought experiment you can trust all of the owners of the hands, and you also have a safe word.
