Do any other autistic people feel high at random times?
Like, sometimes I'll get really giggly, everything will feel hilarious to me and I'll just laugh at nothing, and I'll stim more and laugh at my stimming (e.g. I was finding the normally annoying sound my pop-it makes very funny today) and I'll do a lot of echolalia (e.g. I kept repeating "my name is poet I am a Philip" & giggling because it was the funniest fucking thing in the world to me) and I'll get really affectionate, I'm already a very affectionate person but I get MORE affectionate (e.g. I'll be talking to my dog & I'll just be like "I just love you SO much" whilst sobbing but not really crying?) And I'll feel kind of light-headed (like someone injected helium into my brain) does anyone else do this??? Is it connected to autism??? Please help I'm really confused I can't find anything about this anywhere please reblog I Beg Of You
Iiiii think that could be the ADHD?? I'm both ADHD and Autistic and they overlap a lot BUT the dopamine rollar coaster of ADHD makes it so like at some times you're a puddle and wanna get swallowed up by the floor but?? The second you get even the slightest bit of good news or something you're looking forward to then you see the world in sunshine and rainbows, then it's back to puddle.
But it also could be the autistic??? Funny sound funny funny memory funny funny funny texture brain likes!!! My brains happy and everyone has to know about it!!!! You can Hyperfocus on that one thing and it gets you happy and giggly and??? You don't know why??? Like this works for both ADHD and Autistic stuff but honestly I'll chalk it to the filter that's ur brain is clean as opposed to messy. *for example no intrusive thoughts or icky flashbacks and instead u get good sleep and lots of grounding* so it helps you feel better about everything??
Idk but Ur not the only one I promise it's totally ok
lack of sleep can cause a dopemine rush so it could be that
Ohoh! Maybe it could be caused by autistic inertia???? From masking??? Or executive dysfunction??? Masking is EXHAUSTINH so maybe it has the same affect as lack of sleep!!!!
Okok so so far we've made TWO hypotheses. Our observation: This "high feeling" is common amongst neurodivergents, ESPECIAL autistics and ADHDers. Hypotheses: 1. It could be next-level unmasking 2. It could be caussd by executive dysfunction, autistic inertia, burnout, and/or excessive masking.
Thank you so mych again to everyone for helping me with this! PLEASE keep shaeing this post as well as your experiences so we can get more data and figure it out ourselves because scienrists have shown they don't really care! I am going to present our ideas to my science teacher next week, and will continue shiwing her new ones we come up with and I'll ket you guys know what she says; she has ADHD too and she's super nice so she'll definitely help!
Third hypohesis! ✨️mania✨️
Yet another possibility! Hypothesis #4:
Another one! #5
THEORY NUMBER SIX YALL
