Is getting over excited by things and having to take frequent breaks from them something on the autism spectrum? (hexbear.net)

Like I've noticed normal people can say sit down and watch a whole movie, or play long stints of video games. Myself on the other hand, if something exciting happens or I get too stimulated, I need to take a break and walk away. Weird right? I noticed it more as I got older, when I was younger I'd normally just binge watch things or play games all afternoon. Today I can only do so much in short spurts, like an hour at a time, or else I get too worked up and stressed out.

Is this on the spectrum or maybe auhd?

you mean like when you get overwhelmed with emotion and need to walk it off before you can focus again?

Kind of yeah, like I need to take frequent breaks and process stuff.
