I have different coloured eyes, which you’d think would be noticeable, but nobody sees it until I close one eye ask them the colour then the other and ask again. As a high definition photo its easy to see.
David Bowie had different coloured eyes? well actually he didn’t, he had an enlarged pupil in one eye but after the belief that he had different coloured eyes, he began to wear different coloured lenses for publicity photos.

I ‘failed’ the autism test. Anything above 100 on the test I did would indicate spectrum association. Anything above 150 would indicate profound autism which would require special needs and assistance. I scored 138. I’m not sure I agree, though there are indicators such as inability to understand anyone’s feelings about me. It was only years after that someone would say, “did you know ‘so and so’ had a crush on you”, I never believed them, I never saw the signs.
I tend to obsessively apply myself to work something out in study or research, a bit like Asperger’s.
I don’t like anything that changes… well who does, I’ll be fretting about a trip somewhere new from the time the planned trip was mentioned until the time I was parked and settled wherever we were going.
There are other indicators, I never revised for exams but always did well getting 90+% in exams etc.
I hate face to face interviews and probably give all the indications I’m lying, by shuffling nervously and avoiding eye contact, in fact if anything I play down what would be very good feedback to questions.
Of course I don’t feel I’m understood all the time and live like a stranger in a strange world.

I can feel when people are physically ill, and although have been told I can heal, have dismissed this. However I am able to go immediately to the point of a problem in someone and with massage help and diminish the problem, except that I begin to feel the symptoms for a while which can make me unwell.

I lucid dream, but that’s the bulk of my blog, so unless you’ve read my posts, you wont know that either.
