Curious to see if I'm not the only one. I am interested in how these other conditions connect with Autism

Maladaptive dreaming: like "in-your-own-world", always dreaming to the point where you can't get your mind from anywhere from dreaming
Synesthesia: When one sense (organ) triggers another type of sense. Ex. when you see colour, you hear the colour as if it had its own pitch.
Misophonia: When you hear (certain) noises, it causes extreme discomfort or actually pain. Ex. feeling pain when hearing someone chew food
Visual snow: like seeing television static across your field of view.
For me, I used to be a maladaptive dreamer a few years ago. I don't have misophonia (really) or synesthesia. I do have visual snow. I thought everyone has this. But apparently not. Before, when I was younger, I thought they were particles. So I learned something new today. I have had visual snow my whole life.
I am professionaly diagnosed with ASD - level 1. For me, this is my misophonia:
-annoyed by beeping noises, high-pitched noises, and "background noises:
-if my setting is too loud, I can't think
Visual snow: I constantly see static all the time. It's worse when it's darker out. I believed everyone saw like this, but apparently not.
I also have a lot of "more common" co-morbids too.
