Hi! Everyone I talk to is sure I'm some kind of neurodivergent but no one knows which one. Anywhoo, This is just a place for fellow ND's to talk (I imagine there's a lot of us on here)!

WHY IS EXISTING SO HORRIBLE RIGHT NOW CHECKLIST:

Is the discomfort physical or emotional?

Physical:
When did you last have water?
-Drink water.
When did you last eat?
-Have a snack.
How long have you been sitting?
-Get up, jump around, stim.
When did you last sleep?
-Rest.
Is something preventing you from solving your problem?
-Ask for help.

Emotional:
When did you last stim?
-Hardcore stim sesh!
When did you last talk to someone (Not yourself)?
-Go talk to someone. It can even be a barky zoom-bean.
When did you last take a break?
-Take a break, even if there’s work to do.
When did you last listen to music?
-Listen to whatever song you are currently listening to on repeat or just a song you like.
Are you stressed?
-Listen to music, don’t think about the stress-y thing for one song. Listen to the song again. This time make a plan for what to do.
Are you overstimulated?
-Take off shoes, cover ears/put on headphones, close peepers, etc.
Are you understimulated?
-Stim, eat, watch something, read, devil sticks.
Are you bumfuzzled about instructions?
-Deep breaths and ask for clarification.
Is there seemingly way too much work to do?
-Take a break, come up with a plan, make a checklist, start grinding gears. (Take breaks!!)

ok humming, yessshhhhhh. im like 99% sure im NT and just acquires little things from my wonky-donky lil friends or im just in the doldrums so I adopt waht would be considered 'autistic behaviors' or stimming but like IM PROBABLY NOT (its possible tho…)
anyway HUMMING YEAH ill just do a little three note thing mmmmmMMMmmmm like dat and randomly go 'HOH' sort of idk its an almost uncontrollable impulse

@gay_corgi group

not to mention stimming-like stuff with music and gotta be super freakin animated unless somethings right

Some Nt's do have a few ND traits, but you might want to do some research just in case you're part of the club :)

@IcarusFightsTheSun book

tbh i don't think so?? i have some interests like animals as a whole and i could tell you a lot (and i mean A LOT) about that sort of stuff. but i don't know if that counts as a special intertest, since i have a few things that im into apart from that

@gay_corgi group

I also have regular interests but for me the difference is a special interest is very intense. It feels warm and safe a exiting to think about them if that helps :)

@IcarusFightsTheSun book

bruh, i was legit like 'huh, does anyone else do that skull control glitch where something just keeps repeating over and over, or am i just, like, broken?'
turns out it's called mental stimming, and skull control glitches are normalish??

YEAH, cool right?!

@Serenity88 group

sound gets to me, like sometimes I hear a sound and I gotta mimic it. or engineer my own Strange Noises yk?

@gay_corgi group

So…. I'm not really sure if what I'm experiencing is a hyperfixation or not and was wondering if someone might have aswers?
So, I've done lots of research trying to find out if I get hyperfixated or not, but nothings really been useful, so…
Ok, so what happens is sometimes my skull control will decide that a certain subject (usually a cartoon) is suddenly just the MOST EXCITING THING EVER. It happens on VERY varied degrees, so it can be anywhere from I haven't stopped brain brewing about it for the last 4 days and am losing sleep over this to This show is super cool, I can still think about other stuff but when I do think about it I get happy. But it always has the same exciting feeling attached to it, which is what's really throwing me off. I have special interests, and it's completely different from that, and I also have regular interests, so I know it's not that either. The only other thing I can think it would be is a hyperfixation, but I don't tend to sit there and research it for more than a couple hours, even the really intense ones. Does anyone know if these are hyperfixations? Or what they are if not that?

@IcarusFightsTheSun book

yeah, that sound like hyperfixation to me, especially the first example. basically a hyperfixation is when you focus so heavily on one thing for that it gets in the way of other things, such as sleep, eating, drinking, social activities, etc.

@Axel

I don't know if I have anything. I was never diagnosed with anything. Okay. Let me explain a few 'symptoms' I have.
I rock back and forth every day, even when not listening to music. I always get fixed on one certain thing, loving the absolute heck out of it. I don't fall asleep easily. I listen to music to relieve stress. Oh, and my sense of smell is VERY sensitive.
