Food or sex? Which would you give up?

[Rev. Rye]

For whatever reason, it seems what little sense of smell I have left is largely focused in my mouth, because my sense of taste is better developed than my sense of smell. I don’t think it’s an ASD thing; I think in my case, it’s the result of being congested enough times that my smell receptors have atrophied.

Sorry if I'm mistaken, I was under the impression you had ASD.

It's interesting if you do have it but you don't think that's due to the ASD though. Because hyposensitivty of any senses can be symptomatic of ASD.

Oh, I do have an ASD. I just don’t think it’s related to my dysosmia, especially since I actually did have a decent sense of smell when I was younger. I know some foods cause me to freak out when I eat them, that's been a constant, but I could usually smell them when I was a kid. It happens more rarely now that I can smell them, except maybe for a few seconds.
