Martha Re: New poll for CHARGE

[Guest guest]

Just another instance of showing she is very good at adapting: She

also would smell flowers - without inhaling, I might add! - and tell us

" smells pretty " . She had observed and understood that she saw people smile

when they sniffed flowers, so she should too. She still will tell us she

" smells " things, when she really makes no notice if she doesn't see the item

making the smell. (EX: Onions: I can cut them and still smell them 3

hours later. She has no clue unless she sees me " crying " when chopping them

that there is anything in the air. And I think that her smell must be

extremely limited if not non-existent, because onions are powerful in their

odor and resultant stinging eyes.)

Friends in CHARGE,

thought he could smell too - I guess that makes sense because he's

never known different. We put some different essential oils in cups and some

empty cups and had him sniff them, and his responses were more than

arbitrary.....

have you ever tired that? (I think we used lemon flavoring, mint oil,

vinegar, water, milk -) He can get the other sensations (burning). He is

specifically prohibited from being a biochemist because of his lack of

smell. Interesting stories from Anatomy and Physiology about his lack of

smell - not minding the smell of rot, formaldehyde and stuff like

that.......

Re: New poll for CHARGE

I wonder if this sort of thing (in 's case, texture) is why she won't

touch puddings or applesauce or anything similar? I'm pretty sure she

can differentiate smells --- unless she " smells " the flowers we grow

because Andy and I do. Martha

also has no sense of smell though he has a very good sense of

taste. When he first started eating by mouth at the age of 5 it was

like starting a baby eating. We started with baby foods building our

way up to solids. It seemed to take a few months before he started

experiencing the different tastes of the foods. Sorta like awaking

his taste buds. Over the years he has developed quite a likening for

sweets. Oh heck he has a likening for anything that doesn't try to

eat him first. You will all be witness to this in Ca. so keep

yourselves at a safe distance while he is eating. LOL

used to 'smell' flowers and other stuff too when he was little.. no matter

what he was smelling the answer was always the same..

We called it the flavor of the month because he'd change his answer about once a

month.
