I'd say having my cat walk around on my bed (when I'm under the covers), especially walking a bit on my hair- not so it hurts but it usually doesn't because he's, well, a cat, and therfore not huge. I play with my hair a lot too. Yeah. I'm one of the hair-tactile-fetish people.

Me too- but WARM water!

A car ride.


Preferably with some nice music playing and the driver not going at a nervewracking pace (as my dad does).

Cuddling up to a MASSIVE (larger than me) sized tabby cat which I am not allergic to and who is purring her little heart out.

Being able to light a candle in nothing. It's kind of hard to explain... see, I like lighting a candle in the dark, but then you can see things. I want a way to light a candle in nothing, so that the only thing you can see is the candle and the candle light. Would be nice and soothing I think.

That trick didn't work for my parents when I was a kid/baby... it was the opposite - I loved car rides so much, I always stayed awake so I wouldn't miss any of it. I think all babies love car rides, but for me I loved them so much it was beyond 'normal'. Nothing has changed in 29 years... That's why I figure it must be an aspie sensory thing.

Superman Ride of Steel Rollercoaster (or anything that fast or faster).

Rolled up in a futon (deep pressure)

Good food prepared well and served hot (this is a feat as I can cook a great gourmet meal but it often gets cold)

The perfect cup of tea served by the fireplace.

Being in my bed when my room is really cold and having a lot of warm, soft blankets around me.

Loud music I hope. :D A powerful sound system with a couple of subwoofers to make the license plate rattle and disturb the neighbors... My husband and I are both probably guilty of the nervewracking part... the pace as well as miscellaneous perfectly executed manouvers that make the passengers nervous, especially female passengers. 8O

I would still love to sleep in cars if the comfortable size of the seats hadn't changed. :( ... Or maybe it was me...

Just me and my dog and a nice cat (so definently not my cat) with no other noise unless I ask for it, sadly I live in a dorm.

oh that reminds me of another big thing I like which is making my room freezing cold (during summer or winter doesnt matter) and having 5 blankets over me.

My mom used that trick; or vaccuuming worked too.

She wound up keeping a very, very clean house for awhile there. :P

Hmmm... living in a dorm. I need to go add that to the Sensory Nightmare thread. Even though I've never done it before, that would be my idea of a nightmare: nowhere to get away from people and not allowed to have my kitties...
