I like the word overclocking because it is an accurate analogy to what happens to me. There are times I become so obsessive about some topic that I can't get the subject off my mind and feel a compulsion to keep diving into it. I incessantly think about it to the point I become mentally exhausted. It can make me fall asleep during the day or trigger migraines. Also it can cause me to creep into mania (the two states are remarkably similar). Long hikes, relaxing routines, immersion in stories (TV, movies, etc.) are some of my coping mechanisms but they don't always work. I am interested to hear how other aspies deal with overclocking.
