I'm also autistic and always attributed this issue to that rather than ad(h)d, but I did think about this and did notice a pattern. There's 2 things that seem to control whether loud music is acceptable for me or whether it overloads my brain:. It eitther needs to be the single source of sound (i.e. festivals, concerts) or it needs to be fully in my control. Preferably both. I can't handle music playing and people talking over it, because they're two sources of sound that I can't effectively filter. When I'm at a show specifically for the music, I hear nothing but the music and it's usually also music that I enjoy. When I have control over the music, it seems to make it easier as well. When I get overloaded I can instantly stop it, which stops the panic situation when my brain starts overloiding and there's not easy escape from the noise.
Edit: and I also listen to pretty fast/noisy music. I assume it's because my mind gets distracted and starts wandering when there isn't enough going on.
These are both very good points that I hadn't considered, and seem to make a lot of sense.
Huh.
