    This sounds pretty damn close to me, but I was thinking that stuff would be ADHD which I haven't being diagnosed with yet (but I'm already diagnosed autistic). I've been looking into getting an ADHD diagnosis to get medicine because I know it would help, but what medicine did they give you for an autism diagnosis?

      Ritalin. They didn't give it to me for my diagnosis per se, they gave it to me because I was chronically fatigued due to overstimulation. This (coupled with various types of therapy, mainly psychosomatic) helped act as a sort of stimuli filter, the filter that neurotypical people have which prevents them from being overstimulated.
