He's at the airport in Tokyo waiting to board his flight back to the states. SO HAPPY!

That's wonderful! Congratulations. What was he away for? Business?

This is really interesting I do have a couple of questions but I'm on my cell so I'll get on the laptop later and ask

morning thread

@hummy: Ask away and I'm so glad you came to chat!

@Suona: Part business and part for fun.
He's a software engineer so he often travels for conferences and the like. :)

Good morning, Kirin!

Hey....sorry I didn't get back here before now! ...my RL is always so chaotic! *sigh*

I shared your syndrome with my daughter and her man and he knows someone who tastes sounds!
(I had thought, for sure, that he was gonna laugh at what I was telling them...but he didn't laugh!...he, instead, told me about his friend!)

I am looking into this syndrome more because my disabled daughter constantly makes a sound that drives us all crazy!...& since she is not verbal enough to tell me why she makes the noise, I continually look for reasons....and, possibly a reason for her to stop doing it!

Sarah is 33 years old, but, with Cerebral Palsy and a seizure disorder, her developmental level is more like a 1 year old....
We keep her long hair tied back to avoid her getting it into her mouth and chewing on it....and sometimes she slips her thumb into her hair, before the rubber band, and pulls her hair out...or it breaks at the rubber band....
So....after reading your thread, I began to wonder if Sarah is having "sensations" on her scalp that makes her pull her hair...
So I am going to start playing her some of the videos that you talk about...and see if it changes her behaviour any.
Even if she doesn't have this syndrome, the unusual sounds and speech patterns might catch her interest enough to make her stop making that noise for a while! Lol!

I hope you are having a fantastical day! !

Oh! That's fascinating about tasting sounds!

Please share if the videos seem to help her.
There are many different kinds, different volumes, male or female voices. :)
For me, I can't stand the whispered videos because I find it too high pitched.

Good morning, Kirin!

How neat! That sounds so fun.

Yes. He said he took over 400 photos.
Can't wait to see

hopefully he'll let you share some

Oh I'm sure he will!
Would you like to see some? :D (when I can get my hands on some)

400 photos is a lot!
How long was he there?
It's gonna take a while to go through all those pictures!
....and, I'm pretty sure that pictures aren't gonna be high on the priority list for a day or so! *wink wink* Lol!
Of COURSE we wanna see! ....when ya get around to it.

Hehe, no, I think the pictures won't be priority until this weekend.
He is really into photography right now and so he was super excited for the chance to go; he's always wanted to.
His company sent him there the 23rd of December, but only for a few days. He extended his trip, though, until Sunday.
Wanted non-business time there to explore. :) A friend from his childhood, who works for another company across the country was sent to the same conference, so they met up there together.

i don't know how to ask my question
um, would it be like when you see
something you feel a sensation

@hummy: Yes sometimes. The majority of the time it's auditory but visual stimuli has triggered it for me too. :)

Good morning thread!

I would take a ton of photos too. I'm bad about that. I love taking pics, so I usually end up with a lot no matter where I go. xP can't wait to see what he took. I bet they're beautiful.

Me neither. He took a beautiful photo of our friends on the ferry!

I would love to see some.

He's telling me how he accidentally ended up at a con on Yaoi special day.

ooh, spiffy hangout!
what a coincidence, i was actually having some pretty intense asmr earlier today when i was listening to this:

John Williams is a musical genius.

i tend to mostly get asmr when i hear something that makes me nostalgic and excited (so, like, when the 7th Harry Potter movie came out and the first notes of the theme played) or when i hear certain chords. is that the case for anyone else? i usually see asmr videos of people folding paper or scraping their nails on things or popping bubblewrap.

Oooo goodie! Someone else who experiences Asmr.
I will post some videos of my favorite Asmr videos soon!

awesome! i'm excited to hear them. :]

Did you know of it before this thread?

Hey, Clair! I hope you are having a great day!
I just stopped in, last night, to say HI....but, before I got anything typed, I fell asleep! Lol!
So.....like, HI! Lol!

Hi! Love having you visit!
How are you?
