Sometimes my brain comes up with something that amuses me so much.

This was one of those things.

So we talk a bit about Proprioception (pronounced proe-pree-oh-sep-shun).

Proprioception means knowing where your body is in a space. Knowing where your limbs finish. Knowing how close you are to things. Knowing how much force to put behind movement.

Many, many neurodivergent folk have significant differences with Proprioception. Personally, my sense of proprioception is laughable.

I accidentally invented the word NOPE-RIOCEPTION to talk about these differences. Because I feel like I have no sense of that. And here’s what noprioception (probably spell it that way) looks like for me.

Slamming doors. Accidentally stomping about the house. Running into doorframes. Always dropping stuff. Turning around and running immediately into a wall. Banging my shins into furniture. Cannot catch. Flinging my arms out during conversation and accidentally whacking people. Wearing tight jeans because they help me know where my legs are.

This post is mostly for laughs.
But also, noprioception is real, haha.

Anyone else?
