Anyone else feels more stereotypically autistic while on stimulants?

    I definitely get much more in my head and overthinking everything that I say when I take meds. Which makes socializing much less fun. On the other hand when I don’t take them I am more likely to blurt out the first thing I think which can also be bad.

      It’s fun that I meet certain people almost only in certain environments (like uni), so they normally see me on meds—and it’s disorienting when “I’m acting weird”.

      Have you consider altering the dosage. With consultation with your doctor of course.
