What I smell, often effects my mood.

Posted by zarathustra on January 15, 2002, at 23:23:40

This is an odd post which is difficult to phrase.
I am currently without diagnosis (a definative one anyway).
I have noticed that my moods and emotions are frequently triggered or enhanced by certain smells, such as cologne, pine, fresh air, perfume, gasoline, asphalt, pretty much every smell to some degree affects my moods. I drive with my window down always (yes even in the winter) so that I can get wiffs of what the outside air smells like. Frequently I will smell things I pick up (as long as no one is around to see) like books; I love the smell of old books, clothes, everything.
Is this just a wierd quirky thing I have?
Or is it something else?
I know that autistic children are very sensory and that the olfactory sense is somehow linked to wierd and poorly understod parts of the brain.........
Anyone with insight (or should I say insmell) please comment.
