Need to run

NAS90049

This is my first post!

I have a weird experience which I hope someone might identify. Its a sensation like needing to run. I don't think there is any sensory issue associated with it. It's very strange, it's almost like I have a specific mission I need to accomplish and I just want to go now. I am diagnosed with autism and don't think this is ADHD. I've been told it's anxiety, but it doesn't feel like that.

Any ideas, please?

  • I think it's just the same excess energy that makes anyone stim in anyway. I remember when I was a kid out on a walk with my parents just suddenly taking off across the field. It felt amazing, like I could have run forever and my feet had wings!

    I always used to dance about when people were talking to me, and I still have to break into dance. It's just big movement, letting out the build up of energy. Maybe sometimes it's anxiety but mostly I think it's just autistic anxiety, the kind that just buzzes on until it goes wraaaaah!

    Run all you like, I say, and enjoy it!
