[tired-biscuit]

things are not thinging for me today

about interception, is it also like that when you get a cold, for instance (like would you feel a headache or a sore throat)? and i know you’ve mentioned you don’t remember much about your childhood, but from what you do remember, has it always been like that?

(if the questions ever get to be a bit much, pls let me know! i’m very interested in how autistic traits work but i could always google it instead if you ever don’t feel comfortable – or just don’t really feel like – talking about your experience!)

so for me it’s kinda weird lmao so idk how helpful this answer is

i used to be a gymnast so i’d get injured a lot. i always felt my injuries but i’d be good at ignoring them and pushing through like they weren’t there. so i’d always feel stuff like that but i’d be able to mentally force myself to ignore it lmao

with certain sicknesses normally i won’t feel it until it’s like really bad. like i’ll have sort of an awareness that something isn’t totally right but when it hits it’s badddd. like sometimes i’ll think i have hypersensitivity to pain lmao but idk

i’m also just generally bad at like explaining pain/feelings so when i’m sick or injured i can’t actually describe it. i just know it hurts.

i have friends tho who will get injured and not feel it or not know until they look at it. i’ve gotten cuts and big bruises that i wasn’t aware of until someone pointed them out to me or i saw it and was like wtf.

idk how i felt stuff like headaches or sore throats as a kid bc i can’t remember any of that stuff but i was very sick like chronically sick from june-november and sometimes still now where i was feeling a million types of pain and symptoms at once lmao. so i’d feel it just not be able to identify it

but yeah idk if that answers anything lmao i hope it helps
