A successful failure...

A successful failure...

I discussed my plans with a couple of other people today... and all of a sudden ran into a roadblock. One I should have expected, but didn't. Seems they were uneasy in doing part of my "experiments" because it involved different colognes.

Why would that be a problem, you ask? Because a lot of Aspies, as well as other Autistic-spectrum and related syndrome sufferers, are hyperosmic. Meaning they are sensitive to odors. Or tastes, loud noises, it varies from person to person. For me, I'm photosensitive; and there's one wool-linen blend that really sets me off. But my ex was so hyperosmic that I had to stop wearing any scents at all or she would be unable to breath.

And that got me thinking... could this hyperosmia be related? A factor that a lot of Aspies don't shower with any scented soaps and are reluctant to wear colognes, and wash off their own natural<b> pheromones </font></b>- or perhaps even their body doesn't produce much<b> pheromones </font></b>to avoid making itself sick...?

Anyway, seemed to go a ways toward proving my thesis. If I continue to get success or successful failures I might hit up a couple of biochemists and see if they want to run with this.

 Sucks that you can't wear silk. Silk can be fun.

I've never actually heard of someone smelling silk before. To me, it has no odor at all. But then, my ex would get sick at odors I couldn't even smell, so I never put it past a hyperosmic. It's a strange world we live in.
