I don’t care what people say. Drinking water is such a horrible experience if it’s not ice cold and drunk immediately.
It can taste funny, smell funny…filtered or not.
I HATE drinking water because of this!!
My husband says “water doesn’t have a taste”. It absolutely does! Even the most neutral of waters has a taste and that taste is Water. We argue about it sometimes lol
Hubby gave me a cup of water for my pills last night and I grimaced cuz I could taste that it was from a slightly warm tap. I told him it tasted like heat. It wasn’t hot. But I could taste the heat like bubbles.
He just stared at me and walked away. 😂
Sometimes, and i dont know why, but sometimes water randomly tastes like dirty sock water. Its gross and makes me gag. Water definitely has a taste and the taste varies and its annoying and gross.
My husband: It’s just water. Water has no taste.
The entire Autistic Community: Fuck water!
My doctor told me a few years ago (before my autism dx) that “if you can taste water, you’re probably hypersensitive to the metals and minerals in it. Let me guess, every single different place you get water from, maybe even different sinks in your house, it all tastes different, right? Yeah, you’re tasting minerals that normally people can’t taste. I can’t really blame you for not drinking water when it probably tastes like licking rocks. The only thing I can really do to help is suggest you flavor your water with mio or powdered mix” and I would *not* be surprised to find out that autism increases your likelihood for sensitivity to that taste!
My roommate, autistic, hates our tap water. I, autistic, can absolutely tell the difference in taste. I agree that we can have the weirdest kinds of sensitivity that nobody believes.
I grew up on Brooklyn water and artisan well water and upstate NY water, then when I moved near DC, I went through months of feeling like the water had a vastly different taste – because it absolutely did.
