Is there such a thing? I am not even 100% sure what I am talking about. I noticed with more unmasking I do more of this “deep think” thing. Thinking about some event, occasion, conversation either artificial, not artificial, happened or will happen in future so deep and in details that I could forget about surroundings or start to talk aloud before I notice that I am doing that. Is it part of stimming? Just found on another website that some people have similar experience and they would consider it as stimming. Do you know about some scientifical researches about particularly this type of stimming and what is your experience? Note that I (probably) mean type of stimming that does not require any physical, verbal, visional interactions with environment, but this stimming where only your thoughts are involved. What is your experience?
Not sure I’d call it stimming but deep thinking, jumping in rabbitholes or thinking about special interests is both typical and very soothing. I went into IT after my diagnosis because the amount of rabbitholes is just fun. I would say stimming soothes the brain when under stress or load. Deep thinking can do similar but can also cause stress and load which needs additional thinking. At least thats how I experience it.
