stimming


stim, stims or stimming is short for “self stimulation”. almost everyone does it(tapping feet, cracking knuckles, twiddling thumbs), but in autistic people these behaviors are more pr-nounced and may seem downright strange. autistic people often engage in stimming when they are stressed, to self regulate and sometimes to express emotion.

common autistic stims are: rocking back and forth, headbanging(not the music kind), finger flicking/rippling, spinning, humming, repeating words or sounds and complex body contortions.

stimming shouldn’t be discouraged, it’s a means for me to understand my environment.
being an aspie, stimming is my excuse for jacking off in public.
i’m not being lewd, i’m just stimming i swear.
