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.
Could it be a result of not liking other loud sounds? Loud music, concerts, loud crowded places, headphones played too loud etc all can damage your upper range hearing, and iirc many on the spectrum do not enjoy loud stumuli.
No, really. It is very common for individuals on the autistic spectrum to have above average acuity of high frequency sound.

Your spectrum analyzer pulled double-duty!
Nice XD

At the volume I have my games and music, I rather doubt it. :-/
