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
@ijyx very similar to ADHD brains here

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!
@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.)
@IceWolf @anathem @ijyx oh yeah in UK, they deffo diagnose both.
