===sensory deprivation===

Some people enjoy [[sensory deprivation]], which seems to be the opposite of stimming. Yet the common explanation is that people stim to get away from [[sensory overload]]. So which is it? I can see how focusing one's mind on a single stimulation might block out others, but one would think that autistics (and others) would seek total sensory deprivation if that was really the goal of stimming. I'm confused and I still wonder if the entire neuropsych industry is wrong about this.
