Visual distance judgement is poor for me. I judge distances based on "Won't hit anything in that area when I fall", "Will hit something when I fall", and "If I fall here I am in danger from something nearby". If I deal with a space in the last two categories I start to get upset. I use the adrenaline rush to get me to a safer location. The problem is the adrenaline itself triggers a paralysis attack and I end up falling once I am in a "safe spot".
I used to use walls (by walking with one hand on one) to help me figure out how far the center of my body was from the ground. I still tend to do it in areas where I am not comfortable that it is safe to fall. The safer the location the more confidently and faster I can walk (until I paralyze, usually due to a sensory stimulation). I have used a walking stick daily since I was 19. I am 34. This helps with a few of my body's positional misunderstandings and as an added bonus I can use it to "wake up" a limb that I can't feel without outside input. I "wake up" the limb by hitting it repeatedly with the walking stick until my body registers that it can feel the stick hitting it. My friends tickle my limbs and fingers to generate the same affect if I get stuck.
Being tickled makes me want to smack someone. I use the anger to trigger the adrenaline rush to get temporarily moving to a safer more comfortable position before I paralyze again (from the adrenaline rush dropping the available Potassium in my body).
