I've noticed that it happens often that I find it physically painful to keep listening to someone talking about something that I find boring. This is especially the case when I'm already generally overstimulated. I get very tense, uneasy and restless and it's like my brain itches and I get quite irritable. It's very inconvenient sometimes when my also autistic partner infodumps on me about some of his interests which I don't find very interesting. Of course I still do my best to keep listening.
Do you experience this too? Is this more of an autism or more of an ADHD thing (or neither and everyone experience this and just manages to suppress/hide it better)?
