I’ve been reading about “stimming in autism”, which up until now was very confusing to me mostly because that’s the one point kept being repeated in the community being a must for an autistic individual. And I can’t relate to that at all.

Then I came across something that describes the purpose of ‘stimming’ is to deal with extra energy. Then it kinda hit me, I’ve never had the need to stim because I’m a low energy person in general.

I get overwhelmed with activities when they involve raising heart rates (yes, THAT too). I like quiet things, dead of night etc. Once at a time in my life, I was pretty sure I could hear flow of electricity.

So my question to the community: do you think stimming is a must for autistic people? Do you relate to it? Anyone know of any low energy stimming that gets overlooked?

Thanks! Much love!! 💕 @actuallyautistic

@farah @actuallyautistic I absolutely don't think that stimming is inherent to being autistic. I think some of the things I do probably count as stimming, but 99% of what I see referred to as stimming is alien to me.

It frequently bothers me that I see so much 'we all do this', 'we all like that' in the community. I don't think it's helpful, and it can be othering and ostracising to autistic people (like me) who don't fit into what seems to be common niches.

I need to buy but new graphic shirt because apparently I’ve gone up a size. Where did you get your favorite ones?

My favorite is a black tee with white text that says Minnesota that I got from my trip to Duluth. It was a good trip

Dear food businesses, I need to able to check your menu/ingredients before I eat at your establishments, because we have food allergies in our fam. If you put your entire website contents behind Facebook, I cannot do that. Please have an alternative. Sincerely, someone who really loves food

@farah 😂 As soon as he bolted I knew the thread was only going to get funnier. I can't think of a single animal where the proper course of action is to turn tail and run.

Enough serious talk, who wants to talk about Expanse?

In the show they made Camina Drummer such a composite character; wish they didn’t. Nobody is THAT perfect. In this instance I think the book did better
