ASMR
ASMR
An autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is a tingling sensation that usually begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine. A pleasant form of paresthesia, it has been compared with auditory-tactile synesthesia and may overlap with frisson. ASMR is a subjective experience of "low-grade euphoria" characterized by "a combination of positive feelings and a distinct static-like tingling sensation on the skin". It is most commonly triggered by specific auditory or visual stimuli, and less commonly by intentional attention control.

The Intense World Theory – A Unifying Theory of the Neurobiology of Autism
Autism covers a wide spectrum of disorders for which there are many views, hypotheses and theories. Here we propose a unifying theory of autism, the Intense World Theory. The proposed neuropathology is hyper-functioning of local neural microcircuits, ...

Outline of autism
Outline of autism
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to autism:
Emotional dysregulation – mood swings, including outbursts when overwhelmed
Executive dysfunction – difficulty staying organized, initiating tasks, and/or controlling impulses
Routines – need for routine and fear of unexpected change
Sensory processing disorder – over- or under-responsiveness to sensory input
Sincerity – tendency to tell the truth
Special interests – narrow and passionate areas of interest
Stimming – repetitive movements or sounds that stimulate the senses and regulate emotion and sensory processing
Double empathy problem – a theory suggesting that the communication difficulties present in autistic individuals are due to a reciprocal lack of understanding and bidirectional differences in communication style among other factors rather than an inherent deficiency

Autism spectrum
Autism spectrum
Autism, formally called autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or autism spectrum condition (ASC), is a neurodevelopmental disorder marked by deficits in reciprocal social communication and the presence of restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior. Other common signs include difficulties with social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication, along with perseverative interests, stereotypic body movements, rigid routines, and hyper- or hyporeactivity to sensory input. Autism is clinically regarded as a spectrum disorder, meaning that it can manifest very differently in each person. For example, some are nonspeaking, while others have proficient spoken language. Because of this, there is wide variation in the support needs of people across the autism spectrum.
Pathological demand avoidance can occur. People with this set of autistic symptoms are more likely to refuse to do what is asked or expected of them, even to activities they enjoy
Unusual or atypical eating behavior occurs in about three-quarters of children with ASD, to the extent that it was formerly a diagnostic indicator.[105] Selectivity is the most common problem, although eating rituals and food refusal also occur.
Sensory abnormalities are found in over 90% of autistic people, and are considered core features by some
A 2021 anonymized online survey of 16- to 90
Rates of comorbid depression in people with an ASD range from 4–58%
Sensory processing disorder is also comorbid with ASD, with comorbidity rates of 42–88%
Gastrointestinal problems are one of the most commonly co-occurring medical conditions in autistic people.[240] These are linked to greater social impairment, irritability, language impairments, mood changes, and behavior and sleep problems.

Excoriation Disorder
Excoriation Disorder
Excoriation disorder, more commonly known as dermatillomania, is a mental disorder on the obsessive–compulsive spectrum that is characterized by the repeated urge or impulse to pick at one's own skin, to the extent that either psychological or physical damage is caused.
This automatic picking becomes habitual and is a comorbidity with ADHD.

Noch besser : Mit inneren Bilder verknüpfen. Dann nennt sich das Emoflex und ist gerade bei ADHS sehr hilfreich (geht auch ohne Beats, dafür aber mit bilateraler Stimulation wie Tappen / Augenbewegungen)

The ADHD diagnosis to Autism diagnosis pipeline is real!

The ADHD diagnosis to Autism diagnosis pipeline is real! The ADHD self identify to Autism self identify and self diagnosed pipeline is also real. (i will never forget y'all in my advocasy i promise 🥹) Both my child and I were diagnosed with ADHD first and then Autism. In fact it was our adhd medications managing our hyperactivity that led to our Autism to shine bright like a diamond! You couldn't miss it!

Autistic brains create more information at rest, study show
New research finds that the brains of autistic children generate more information at rest -- a 42 percent increase on average. The study offers a scientific explanation for the most typical characteristic of autism -- withdrawal into one's own inner world. The excess production of information may explain a child's detachment from their environment.

ADHS und Autismus
Laut einer aktuellen Meta-Analyse liegt die Häufigkeit von ADHS bei Personen mit ASS zwischen 50-70%. Zudem wurde in einer neueren Studie festgestellt, dass etwa 13% der Kinder, die mit ADHS diagnostiziert wurden, auch eine ASS-Diagnose erhielten. Bis 2013 "durften" die beiden Diagnosen aber gar nicht zusammen gestellt werden.
