Rubbing your eyes so hard you see shapes and colors?

Restricted/Repetitive Behaviors

Hi, a part of me thinks I may be on the autism spectrum. I’m looking back at my childhood and something I used to do was rub my eyes so hard so I could look at the colors and shapes. I also remember telling a doctor about how at assemblies I could feel the bass inside my body when the music or drums were really loud - maybe too much sensory wise or didn’t understand the feeling (I love concerts now - don’t like loud movies in a theater though lol litttle tangent)? Just two little things I’m wondering if anyone had had this experience with. Or maybe it was just normal typical kid stuff and I’m overthinking it. Thank you!!
