Overstimulate...

Post Reply New Topic

Ok so last night I had a out of state wedding to go to, i stimmed like crazy, even got on the dance floor made everybody spin me like a ballerina over and over and over again lol, since most of them were drunk they didnt care lol, sometimes nts drunk act like me normal lool, kept my koosh stim toy in purse if i needed it, everybody talked to me in a soft tone voice, very calm and very understanding, what i do places like that is shake everybodys hands, idk y i looove hands, even my own obsessed with openning and closing it haha. Long day but not horrible, came home, slowly had a mini meltdown, guess it was more of an overload. Then quickly bounced back by stimming, but seemed to overstimulate myself and became nonverbal for the rest of the night haha. All I did was giggle, and clap, and flap, and basically if u saw me, I was low functioning lol.

I overstimulate myself all the time, its like my body is on speed, and my mind isnt there anymore, no thoughts going through my mind, nothing, i go back inside my own world and disappear, its a weird/cool feeling, except everybody around me doesnt really like it haha. I'm just overly happy, with no communication at all haha, relied on pecs, not even sign helped me there haha. I ended up passing out over exerting myself by stimming so much haha . Anyways my question is does anybody ever overstimulate themselves, to the point they just wear themselves out, and overstimulate I mean, not sensory overload, its like when you stim so much your "EXTREMELY too happy" and nothing else matters

Being Normal Is Vastly Overrated

Yep I did that the other day! Just spinning and flapping rocking not really saying very much. Everyone gets this confused look on there face. Because I was DXed high functioning. Autism is Autism and people need to know that it doesnt matter High functioning (not aspergers) and Low functioning we all share a common trait or traits. Wether anyone wants to admit it or not!

This has happend to me too, but not passing out. And not stimming too much, it maybe go on for about half an hour or less. But it's strange it's when i hang out with one person. It often happens with just her, but not always! I get so extremely happy and flap or clap my hands and giggle alot It can even go so far that I lay down at the floor and crawl!Is that stimming? Or I start pulling her hair But i have stopped pulling her hair, cause she thought it was annoying.

I also like to take one's hand and shake it!!Haha.

i never get over exsidet...though i can in rare ocasions do stimming before meltdown...and when im feeling down i do it a lot

It happened sorta the other day...we had our art auction/anniversary party....I was way up on my toes the other night..and pacing back and forth and back and forth...but I didn't feel bad....

Not sure if I get this. I can make myself hyper, annoy everyone, get all fuzzy and foggy in my mind. To the point at which I can't calm down and control myself any more. I'm not sure how I get there, but not by stimming. It just... happens. Usually only around people who somehow interact 1 on 1 with me like adults interact with a child. KInd of embarrassing, but seriously. I can't help it. Then I go from -10 straight to 100. It's like seven heaven. Nothing matters except I, I can't control myself and I'm all giggling and loud until I go home and to sleep.

I'm not sure I want to ask my friends if I do anything unusual when I'm hyper like that. Nope. I already know that I jump up and down all the time, shift from one leg to the other. And giggle. My brain just doesn't work as fine any more then, I do all kinds of silly things until I realise they totally don't work. Like, throwing the dart into the wrong direction. Or looking away while throwing. Or trying to play a machine when there's no money. Or just distracting everybody when they're playing pool. Because I kinda forget that we were playing pool, stranding around the table and all.

So, really, I don't get overstimulated by stimming, but from... something else. Wish I knew what it is that makes me go hyper. I'd try to be like that on every party then.

I have a chronic illness and when I'm very very worn out, I'll become low funtioning. I shout and point at things and just become overly happy, it's sort of like living through a dream.

Does it make sense to you that this happens to me when my brain becomes too tired with thinking/doing too much?

Yours is the first time I've read about it happening to anyone else.

A question to you, Age1600, when you stim and get overly happy don't you think of anything at that moment? Are you aware that you are flapping, clapping, or whatever you do?

When i stim I'm fully aware that i'm flapping though!

i know u asked age for this but i feel like saying commend to here...i guess age too like i well u are fully aware u are stimming but mmm how would i say this u kinda cant help it

Something similar to this happens to me from time to time. Normally when I'm around my sister and just goofing off. I get all hyper and goofy, i don't even realize it at the time either.
