@theautisticcoach@actuallyautistic I really really don't like scents, they easily trigger a panic attack, even the pleasant ones. But, as taste is 80% smell, or something like that, I do have one go to that helps me... Fisherman's Friends. The originals, not the fancy new flavors. I always carry a tin with me, for occasions like that.
@theautisticcoach@actuallyautistic Good advice to use smells to recentre. They are so powerful. I love to open a lid of ground coffee and take a deep breath.
Sidebar: A long time back, I used to buy aftershave from a barber shop in St James, London. I used to stay in there for much too long because they had a big jar of coffee beans for you to smell between sniffs of their fragrances to clear your nose. It felt like getting high with the mix of strong fragrances and the coffee.
@RolloTreadway@theautisticcoach@actuallyautistic Oh those are all good ones. I think black pepper, I like wearing the essential oil of it, and tomato leaves, and creosote like they treat railroads and utility polls with.
