Neural signal penetration hypothesis: ASD and ADHD may be caused by neural activation not propagating over enough steps, so generalization and control become too shallow. Conversely, too deep activation may cause spiritual states (everything has 'deeper meaning') and synesthesia.

I'd like to contradict: I think this is more a problem of the ability to filter inputs and this results in constant overwhelming of the brain which leads to a lack of concentration and early exhaustedness. Every sensory or intellectual activation is equally prioritized at the top

This is not necessarily a contradiction. I merely suggest that this hypersensitivity may sometimes be caused by a problem of selective inhibition, rather than the other way around. If I am right, and you diminish the gain, cognition becomes worse: you have to diminish stimulation
