    No, really. It is very common for individuals on the autistic spectrum to have above average acuity of high frequency sound.

      Fuck. I’m 35 and I was able to hear a failing ballast in a light fixture at a busy reptile expo.

      I have a spectrum analyzer on my phone, which I had to use to prove to my wife that there was a loud high-pitch whine, and that it wasn’t tinnitus or a phantom sound.

      This would be a weird way to find out I’m on the spectrum.
