@jeffthinksdifferently: Even as an adult, I still have family members who make fun of me for stimming and my sensory issues. What they don’t realize is — this is how I’ve always coped, how I’ve always been me. Being autistic isn’t something to mock, it’s something to understand. #AutismAcceptance #Neurodivergent #Stimming #SensoryIssues #AutismAwareness #MentalHealth #StopTheStigma #NeurodivergentVoices
“People didn’t have autism back in my day” no they were bullied into depressive submission and masking 😀 proud of you for knowing yourself and not letting them get to you

Just pure curiosity and not to get personal. Did you happen to have recurring ear infections as a child?

I’m 18 and autistic, and it’s hard to conceptualise that I am going to age and still have this disability. I genuinely really needed to see an older person who also stims. Thank you

Dunno why people assume family is a safe space.

I think it’s vastly underestimated the amount of trauma an autistic person experiences. Bc we are inherently honest people, the thought that people can be so cruel is utterly devastating. Especially when it’s your own family. I was born into a house that hated women and being a first born daughter, my dad put me through hell my whole life. I’m the same age as you and it still affects me deeply. It’s not your fault, it’s them not you. You’re doing nothing wrong🥰

WOW!! I envy you!! I have asd which was not diagnosed until my late 30's and I have masked, suppressed and hid my entire life to Stim. I wasn't encouraged, I dealt with the total opposite. everything was "corrected out of me" and now I have severe anxiety/ptsd from childhood trauma (caused in a number of ways related to this subject). I wish I had the courage to be seen stimming. It would give me so much relief. Thanks for trying to help those of us who don't have the courage.🙂

I have the same stim!!! The weird looks I get. It feels so good on the muscles idk how to describe it like straining it up stretch it? Idk. I have a few stims but this one is one of my fav but only tend to do it alone

To hell with them. Find your community here. We can stimulate and avoid textures that bother us, together.

I’m sorry you didn’t have the support from your family. That’s heartbreaking. We actually all stim in some way. We just don’t realize it.
