Seeking Advice: Full Body Shivers with ASD and ADHD

Hi all. I was wondering if anyone that has ASD and/or ADHD has experienced a full body shiver? Mine is randomly, sometimes I don't know it is going to happpen and other times I can feel it about to start. There is no continuity with when it happens in terms of what is happening externally or internally for me, eg. weather, temperature, anxiety level, emotions etc If anyone has any experience with something like this, I would appreciate your advice with what it could be/treatment that you have tried. Thanks in advance 🙂

Nope.. i can attest to that, cause I was on Epilim one time, my psychiatrist thought it would assist the anti-depressant in mood stabilisation. It just sedated me and I was on the couch sleeping for like 20 days until my family said.. you have to get off that med! I haven't always had the shiver... just over the past few years it has developed I would say. What about you?

From my understanding its usually explained by either misfiring nerves telling your body to do something it doesn't need to, which is more common with autism/ADHD, or a minor tick. I get it randomly too and sometimes it sets off a temperature control struggle and some overstimulation

This has happened to me randomly as long as I can remember. Not sure if it's a neurodivergent thing but I've never pinned down a reason, I've always just shrugged it off and said "random shiver" because that's what it is lol. Concerns anyone new, but they get over it and learn to ignore it after a little while.

Occasionally but it's usually triggered by brushing a certain point at the back of my head. It physically makes me shake it off too, I have no control over it.
