just wondering whether stress or anxiety can cause hyperactivity. :)

its just i have been having college interviews and my anxiety is clouded with masses of hyperactivity, my mind starts buzzing and i talk constantly. Now i have an upset stomach so im thinking hyperactivity may have caused it.

It can: I can also attest to this based on personal experience. It's an adrenaline rush...but the worst kind of adrenaline rush. Hope your stomach feels better: and at least take comfort in knowing that your interviews are over :)

Given a “tentative” diagnosis as a child as I needed services at school for what was later correctly discovered to be a major anxiety disorder.

This misdiagnosis caused me significant stress, which lessened upon finding out the truth about myself from my current and past long-term therapists - that I am an anxious and highly sensitive person but do not have an autism spectrum disorder.

My diagnoses - social anxiety disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

I’m no longer involved with the ASD world.
