Autistic people tend toward being extra sensitive, sometimes to a point of being unable to control our emotions, when things don't go right, clothes don't fit right, it is suddenly super suffocatingly hot (see interoception), etc.
We might feel miserable and overwhelmed over what others might consider minor issues.
However, it stands to reason we are also capable of experiencing incredible depth of feeling in other ways, including joy!
Please add your personal examples below. :)
Examples: The amazing bliss you can generate by running your feet back and forth over freshly changed bed sheets, coupled with the joy of getting into bed after a long day of masking!
The joy of finding good information on one of your special interests.
