Aren't we the normal ones for noticing everything??

SJ7

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?

  • Did you notice that the colour balance between each eye is not the same?

    My right eye has a red bias and my left a blue bias. It is minor, it doesn't affect colour vision or anything. But things viewed with my left look slightly colder than my right.

    I first noticed if 45 years ago. It has not changed. You don't have exactly the same mixture of colour cone receptors in each eye. I think your brain is maybe supposed to ignore it, rather than notice.

    Here is another curious effect.

    If you are close to burnout your depth perception can change.

    Now if am mostly recovered, I noticed my living room looked different, slightly larger, but also more 3D.

    I thought this was crazy but looked it up. It does appear to be a real thing. Stress changes your perception.

    Definately agree, I also blur feeling unable to see what's in front of me or go into tunnel vision I guess this maybe survival mode .

    My hearing also struggles does anyone experience that?
