Ever since my diagnosis last month I've been researching the topic heavily and many "Asperger's" documentaries that I watch says "he has heightened level of sight/hearing", "he notices all the sounds, the wind, the flag moving, the stares, the heat of the sun, etc..."
I mean... doesn't everyone?? I feel it so weird that we notice all of these things as if others don't have a normal hearing/senses...
If that's the case, aren't we the normal ones? lol...
I told my doctor I don't have a problem with eye contact, he said it isn't about having a problem doing it, he said it's the constant thinking about it while doing it! And that struck a thought... Normal people do it without thinking?? I find it hard to grasp...
Can someone explain to me what it means to not notice everything?? or does the brain just filter them out for normal people? isn't that dangerous?
