Honestly, just not sure at this point. It could be ADHD, could be autism, could be both, could be neither.
I am thinking about getting tested mostly out of curiosity, but I don’t want to use the label without the diagnosis first because it wouldn’t feel morally correct to do so.
But yeah, that trait is quite strong in me and I really do have to try and check that the other person is actually interested and at best I’m not being boring/overwhelming to them or at worst unintentionally condescending. It’s a lot of effort to keep that check running in the back of my head whilst socialising.

I highly recommend reading How to ADHD or checking out the author (Jessica McCabe) YouTube channel. You may find your people.
