Signs of understimulation (Based on a tiktok by ndwellness, summarized for own reference)
1. Craving something but not knowing what it is, as if you "repeatedly open the fridge but you can't find anything that's satisfying"
2. Thought patterns that rapidly become more unrealistic and pessimistic
3. Physically stuck on the edge of your seat, fidgeting or moving from app to app on your phone
4. Worry about wasting time/ not doing what you're supposed to be doing
5. Impulsiveness
KawaiiPunk @ijyx very similar to ADHD brains here
@kawaiipunk @ijyx
Does not surprise me... my personal pet theory is that ASD and ADHD are just the introvert and extrovert variants of the same neurological condition. Which would explain why I (ASD) easily get along with ADHD people.
@kawaiipunk @anathem @ijyx Yeah this can't be that because we're /both/ autistic and ADHD. And really introverted!
@IceWolf
Both ASD and ADHD? Diagnosed?
That does sound strange to me, cause here in germany, you either get an ASD or ADHD diagnosis, never both. They are mutually exclusive. (At least that's what I heard from someone who went to a psychologist to determine whether ASD or ADHD applies to them.)
@kawaiipunk @ijyx
@anathem @kawaiipunk @ijyx Not diagnosed for either, but diagnosis isn't the point. We /are/; whether we've gotten a piece of paper from a doctor /saying/ we are doesn't mean anything.
(Also we don't "have ASD", we are autistic - it's not a disorder.)
This instance is focused around the furry community, and is open to anyone interested in it. It's open to all fluffies and scalies !
