I feel like people without this disorder have better sensations and perceptions of the world. People often notice things that I do not. Say if I'm in the car, my boyfriend may point out something on the road or something about the trees or whatever- and I'm just like.. wow I would have never noticed that.
I answer yes - I definitely perceive the world differently than the general population - but not always in a negative way. Although it's true I don't notice things that others do, I tend to think outside of the box - and although some of my thoughts & ideas are far fetched dreams, I take a certain pride in the fact I am not like everyone else !!
