What is this and why am I fucked up?

[Sophgay]

My senses are fucked up

I can smell gas

And before, I could feel something, and it wasn't there

I could actually feel it with my hands though, as if it was actually there, the same way I can feel these keys I'm pressing

wtf is this and why is it happening?

How do I get my senses back to normal?

My sight and hearing are messed up too, but they always have been

I can smell gas that other adults usually can't smell too.  My daughter can smell it too, though.  I think that maybe we just have sensitive noses.

I don't know how to fix this.

We must be special

I was told the other day that (I don't remember this though) I used to see colours round people's heads when I was little. I don't remember seeing them though or telling anyone about it.

I often smell gas, too.  Other people can't smell anything and they think I'm nuts, but my sense of smell is really sensitive.

I've never seen auras around anyone's heads or anything like that.  Sometimes when I go from the bright sunlight into a dark room, I feel really weird and "trippy" for a second or two.  I've heard most people do this.

I am always the first to smell anything and can even tell how well a car is running by the smell who needs expensive equipment I have my own

A guy in my support group can do this!  He's an airplane mechanic, and he does this at work.

I can smell when it is burning oil or antifreeze or when the air filter needs changing or things like that.

I can tell if the fuel mix is off or if it's burning to hot also and also if the clutch plates or brakes are wearing thin

I have no special talents like you guys,  but my right knee is bent

I can't smell anything autistics can smell. I wonder if my brother can smell that gas too, whatever you guys are talking about. I know he has sensitive smell too. Amazing how NTs can have a few autistic traits too but not be on the spectrum.
At first I was confused about what Soph was talking about. Doesn't everyone smell gas?
Then I realized you guys were talking about gas lot of people can't smell but only people with sensitive smell can.

Anyways, about every time my boyfriend touches me, it hurts. I can't stand the feel of kissing because it's wet. I always have to wipe my lips. I don't know if that's normal. I don't see other people rubbing their mouths after they get kissed so I assume it's just me who can't stand the feeling. I can't even stand all fabric either. I couldn't even wear jeans when I was little.


But I think anyone can smell something first like in their own car and they can hear something unusual first before anyone else can. I think it's because they know their car very well and other people don't so they don't know what they are supposed to be hearing or smelling.
I can imagine when anyone buys a brand new car, they can still smell the fresh new scent but no one else can anymore. I think it's because the owner is expecting the smell so they are still smelling it.

I not only do it with my car but passing cars also

I know water heaters put out a smell when there is a leak. That is something everyone can smell because it tells you it's leaking.

At my parents house we run on propane for heat and when it gets low, the furnace puts out a gas smell. The first time it happened, my parents thought we had a leak so she hired a guy and he said it was working okay and we are low on propane and that's what it was doing.

I bet all mechanics can do that  Because they know all about cars.

I can smell the natural gas odorant smell even when other people cannot smell anything.  I smelled it at my in-law's house and I kept trying to convince them to get someone out to check the furnace but they said that had just been checked and they couldn't smell anything.  Neither could my husband.  Anyway, they wound up having the furnace replaced months later and the smell went away.
