U ain't kidding

Nah, not my taste. ^^;

Hey, that's cool, not everyone likes everything

<:dragon_shrug:749921390982987797>

Or more specifically, I don't enjoy the texture of most beans.

And yeah, true.

They're all the same to me. Tastes aren't all the same, for sure.

Texture is pretty important to me when eating food, so if I don't enjoy the texture as much as taste, I probably won't enjoy the food as a whole.

But that's probably because I'm autistic, and autistic people tend to have more sensitive mouths for texture.

We do?

Yeah, it's what my therapist said.

And I think I read it somewhere as well.

Huh. Strange

Autistic people just tend to be more sensitive with their senses in general, whether it be visual (bright lights), auditory (loud noises), textile (weird textures), etc. Autistic people just tend to be more sensitive to these things, but in different ways and intensities, obviously. ^^;

Hm

I hate getting suddenly touched

That could be part of it.

Usually whoever did so gets a first swung at them

Some autistic people hate being touched.

I for one, don't mind being touched.

That's why it's all a spectrum. ^^;

I don't mind loud noise

I like my loud music

But sudden loud noise I do not like

So I hate it when someone shouts

That really sets me off

Yeah, it's different with everyone who has it. I feel the same about loud noises that you do.

Those kinds of things worry me

I feel like most people would be alarmed at a sudden loud noise though.

That just seems like natural human fear to me.

Yeah, but combined with choice words 😬

It would

But I feel really sensitive about shouting

I suppose I do as well, as one of my main fears as a kid was getting yelled at by adults.

Still is a big fear of mine lol

Same. ^^;

I wish it wasn't.

Oof

I'm not a kid anymore, so I should be able to handle someone yelling at me, especially if I actually did do something wrong, but...

I just...

Stop functioning.
