As an adult on the Autism Spectrum, I am highly sensitive to numerous sensory triggers, as are many with ASD and probably a few NT (neuro-typical/non-autistic) people too.
Most offensive to me, and highly likely to cause me to be exceedingly uncomfortable and possibly even have a meltdown, are, and in no particular order: scratchy or tight clothing, loud noise, crowds, mess/disorganisation, and bad smells. Unpleasantness wafting through the air that I am trying to breathe is not acceptable in my space. Ever.
Such offensive stenches include, but are not limited to: rotting food, feces from human, dog, or cat origin, nuts (this one is allergy related), cheap and overpowering perfume/deoderant, fly spray, cigarette smoke, ashtrays, rubbish bins, moth balls, heavy dust, and rabbit urine. That last one is very particular indeed, but I hate it so much that it requires this blog entry based around its existence.
Don't get me wrong - I love animals and the ones I share my space with even more so, and I can handle litter tray changing. But, for no logical reason that I can find, two of the cheeky bunnies who have owned me for approximately seven years already, have taken it upon themselves to 'spray' their urne in a couple of specific spots, namely the study nook.
As much as I have been cleaning, washing, sweeping, vacuuming, and trying to neutralise the area, the stench remains. And as long as it shall remain, those two sneeky rabbits will continue to ninja-attack that part of the house, deeming it useless and requiring an exorcism.
With expenses of late going towards being partly accountable for the responsible ownership of kittens and their rapid maturity into cats capable of reproducing at any moment, I am yet to attempt to eliminate the smell for good.
I am of the belief that this extreme level of stench-busting is going to require some deep, heavy-duty, carpet-shampoo action, and for that, the budget shall be ammended to at least hire a machine and test out the power and effectiveness before investing in one of my own. If successful, it will definitely be worth the relief to my olfactory senses.
