A little backstory my husband went to play the game last night and I instantly got overstimulated, I had a meltdown, it's like something in me snapped. The thing is I didn't know that was the reason I was overstimulated until my husband said I was "ok before he sat down to play the game", I thought it was because of a stupid joke my husband made. Then something in me was like yeah I think that's it. As soon as I realized all of the built up tension went away and I took a long nap. Is this an example of my alexithymia? I have level 1 autism

I have alexithymia, and overstimulation is really physical for me and when I'm overstimulated I get sick. It feels like three ninjas are in my brain beating my a** basically or sharp nails raining in my head. I feel it in my nose and face too. I am late diagnosed so I'm learning a lot about myself and how to maneuver life. Thanks.
