I have a theory

  • #question

All of the people I know and have talked to in shops who love perfume are neurodivergent. So I am theorizing that perhaps the majority of people who love sensory things like perfume are neurodivergent. Let’s find out!

To be clear, I myself, am neurodivergent and do not think there is a single thing wrong with that. There is no judgement to this question, just curiosity!!

    Undiagnosed here, but I've read that most goalkeepers are ND, a majority of DJs are ND, people that like wrestling are often ND, people who collect are ND & now perfume. I do all of em.

    Lolll diagnosed ADHD & suspected autism too. Niche hobbies tend to have a lot of us! We often get into things deeper than NT people.
