I think that might be a difference between hypersensitivity and hyposensitivity.
The autism stereotype is hypersensitivity, where they feel everything very intensly.
But there’s also the opposite, hyposensitivity. Where I feel things less, can peak boiling pots of water with my hands, used to get a lot of bruises as a kid from bumping into things without noticing, and I need my music loud…
Same, cuts and bruises are only noticable when someone points those out or i get blood somewhere and then am surprised over where i got this one.
Though the weak sensor signaling extends to basically every single aspect of the bodies functioning. Hunger is barely just slightly annoyance, for few seconds. Tiredness barely exists. Same for any good emotions.
Only the most strongest sensory input is noticable.

I think you might fall in the later with me

This comment reminded me of this Simpsons clip. Just the end of it obviously.
