I also have sensory issues and, while I also have autism, sensory processing issues are a reported symptom of ADHD. Stimming helps me and I also have a set of headphones I wear in crowded stressful placesike airports that cut out a lot of background noise.

Sensory processing disorder (SPD) can be a symptom or as a stand alone. It's more prominent in people with autism though.
