Sensory "Issues" I Have

 

 

SOUNDS

LIKE: "My Computer", "My Ford Ranger Pickup Truck Engine", "Birds", "Farm Animals", "Zoo Animals", " My 'Baby' Rattles & Other Infant Toys", "The Atlantic Ocean"J

DISLIKE: "Thunder & Lightning (during the night)", "Police, Fire & Ambulance Sirens - except when 'on television'", "Vacuum Cleaner", "Hair Dryer", "Loud, Angry Human Voices", "Huge Crowds - 'Except at Agricultural Fairs'", "Crying & Screaming Infants", "Nearby Jet Propulsion Aircraft", "Sudden, Abrupt Random Loud Noises"L

Note:

For me, with certain sounds, like vacuum cleaners, power tools, industrial machinery, human speech is "perceived" by me to be "garbled and unintelligible", making "comprehension and meaning" of heard human speech "impossible" for me understand, despite the fact, that I can perceive people's "voices" in noisy environments. Also, in crowds, I am unable to "discern" individual people's voices.

 

TACTILE SENSATIONS

LIKE: "Bluejeans", "Soft, Well-Worn Sox", "Plush, Soft, Children's Cuddle Animal & Dolly Friends", "Jersey Shirts", "Adult Disposable Diapers", "Vinyl Incontinence Pants", "Mud & Black Dirt", "Beach Sand - Dry or Wet", "Sucking my own Thumb or an Adult-Sized Pacifier Nipple", "Putting Infant Toys In My Mouth and 'Teething' On Them" J

DISLIKE: "Woolen Sweaters", "Dress Shirts", "Neckties", "My Two-Piece Dress Suitjacket & Pants" "Hugs - Except When Given By Father and Younger Brother", "Handshakes", "Hypodermic Needles"L

NOTE: I am quite "bothered" if somebody just comes up from behind and "touches me". I always "stiffen" and "cry out" with distress, especially when it is done while I am "hyperfocused" on doing tasks, like working on my computer or whenever I am up at the Derry Community Television Studio, "editing" video on their digital video editor or if I am at the Kelley Library and I am using one of their Internet-connected computer systems.

 

SMELLS

LIKE: "Pretty Flowers", "Farm Animals", "Zoo Animals", "The Atlantic Ocean"J

DISLIKE: "Hospital & Nursing Home Smells", "Adult-Sized Plastic Pail Potty Chairs - My Mother is also physically-disabled and I 'gag & vomit' at the sight and smell of her pee-pee and poo-poo in her Potty Chair Pail (but not my own pee-pee and poo-poo) - My Father and Younger Brother 'deal with it', not me.", "Women's Perfumes"L

 

NOTE: As a person, I truly "adore and love" farm and zoo animals. I love being out in the wild, away from other human beings, and I like to spend hours and hours standing around (or sitting) and "observing" all different types of wild birds. I also truly love going to all the Agricultural Fairs here in New Hampshire, not for being around human beings, I just love touching all the different kinds of farm animals. It is like I have a natural affinity for sensing their feelings.

 

TASTES

LIKE: "Carrots", "Beets", "Squash", Turnip", "Lettuce", "Onions", "Chocolate", "Chicken", "Fish", "Pork" "Peanut Butter", "Tuna", "Deviled Ham", "Rice", "Pudding", "Ice Cream", "Mashed Potato", "Spaghetti & Cheese - or with Meat & Tomato Sauce", "Strawberries", "Banannas"J

DISLIKE: "Peas", "String Beans", "Asparagus", "Broccoli", "Eggplant", "Pickles", "Cucumbers", "Lamb" L

 

SIGHTS

LIKE: "Nighttime", "Rooms not too brightly lit", "Moving, Dancing Water", "Spinning, Moving Objects - such as on my toy truck, car, and tractor wheels (and infant toys), "Industrial-type robots, electric motors", "Oscilloscope & Logic Analyzer Displays"J

DISLIKE: "Seeing Human Babies Being Born", "Pornography", "Being 'stuck' in my arm, with a hypodermic needle", "Flashing lights in the middle of the night", "Very bright Fluorescent Lights", "Excessively Graphic Horror Images", "Extremely Bright Sunshine - During The Day"L

 

NOTE: I should "point out", that as a person, I am able to "perceive" at times, the visual "flicker" of television and CRT monitors. Televisions "reproduce" motion at 30 frames/second, which is exactly 1/2 the frequency of the 110 Vac power line, which is 60 Hz. The mathematical "formula" for what comes out of an AC wall socket "female" connector is:

V(t) = 155.59 x SIN ((2 * П * 60) * t)

Where "(2 * Π) * t" is expressed in the "dimensionless" units of "Radians"

(Yes! "Electricity" and "Electronics" are really practical "applications" of "Applied Mathematics".)
