This is what I did too! I’m pretty happy with it

I think genetic biodiversity only matters if one reproduces, and that isn’t something that can still happen for me. I might try to teach my future niece or nephew how to do this though :)

It’s double vision, each eye still sends its own signal back to the brain. But I usually just try to focus on one eye’s image so I don’t get sick haha. I am able to read if I focus one eye, I’d say when I do focus on one, the other eye will still notice movement and color

It’s kind of an overwhelming sensory experience, possibly because I don’t do this very often

I can independently move my eyes.

It’s become more difficult and painful to do as I get older though

I’m reading more of your comments in your thread, and I really hope your doctor can help you out. Treatment for this can range from having a feeding port installed to therapy. My family member needed both a port and therapy, but is thriving now.

I also do really understand the texture thing, I have both AuDHD and a sensory processing disorder. If I’m severely stressed about anything, I end up living off safe soft food for a few weeks until my stressor has resolved. Because some textures feel less like food that will nourish me, and more like random objects that might cause me health issues if I try to digest them. That rubbery canned meat texture, especially if it’s accompanied by a layer of fat at the top of the can… 🤢 Yeah I totally understand that :/

Have you heard of ARFID? A close family member, as well as my close friend’s autistic child have this disorder. Low appetite and the visceral reactions to various food items are common with this disorder
