| I don't know. I think that you would have to use something other than sound or light. Sounds that are painful to some, create no discomfort in others. To create a painful experience of noise or light in someone who has a high tolerance would be injurious. Mild electric shocks? Maybe there are freque... |

| Another thing. Loud noise is physically painful to me. Sunlight really does hurt my eyes. I'm not speaking metaphorically. To make the experience real for an NT, you would have to make it a little painful, somehow. |

| To me, it's overload. But it might to be a useful tool to demonstrate the spectrum of Autism to NTs. You could let NTs enjoy the experience at a 'normal' setting first. Then they could repeat the experience at an 'Asperger's' setting, where their input would produce a louder and more garish response... |

| I make sure my friends know about my sensitivity. I try to describe the pain and frenzied feeling in my head to them before there is an encounter with noise. When everything is calm I frequently remind people I live and associate with how bad it is for me. That way, when I do react to loud noise my ... |

| Another thing.... Growing up I was sometimes treated with a bit of contempt by my family for being cold and unforgiving. On Prozac, I saw that I wasn't that much different than an NT. It was the scale of reaction that was different. On a NT scale of 1 to 10, 1 being a slightly offensive remark and 1... |

| When I talked about their brain chemistry, I was thinking about their behavior with each other. I had never really liked NTs and didn't want much to do with them. I now know what it means to be over-sensitive from their point of view, and I try not to let 'little' things that were NOT meant to hurt ... |

| Before I ever heard of AS, I tried Prozac and was one of those people who overreacted to the drug. It gave me an irresistable craving for alcohol and I had to stop taking it. I know drugs aren't supposed to have ann effect on AS, so I don't know what to make of my situation. Anyway, the very first n... |

| If this is an inappropriate question, let me know and I will gladly delete it. I have no desire to encourage any haters. I'm new to this site and to the concept of Asperger's. (I scored 'very likely an Aspie' on the test here.) I'm still trying to figure it all out. Back when I was in college, I wor... |

| I was horribly embarrassed whenever I had to walk in front of people, but nothing I tried would get rid of the bounce, bounce, bounce. People commented on my gait often enough that I knew it wasn't my imagination. (This was decades before I ever heard of Asperger's.) I learned that male models touch... |

However, if you go to page 3 of 'Post a video of yourself!! !! ! !! ! ! !!' under the 'General Autism Discussion' and view the next to the last video, posted by anbuend and made by silentmiao... |

| Hi. My name is Peter. I'm 55. When I first read about Asperger's I recognized myself immediately, but then when I read further I started having doubts about my diagnostic ability. There are traits that I lack and I don't know how important they are to the syndrome. Without them, am I just 'higher fu... |
