    autism and stimming

    Congrats on the new label aubrey-happy

    Are they harmful stims? Do they result in you hurting yourself in any way? If not it might not be worth stopping em tbh. I pretty much just stim uncontrollably whenever tbh. Leg bouncing, twiddling a lock of my bangs, making stupid fuckin meowing noises, the lip picking is bad tho bocchi-cry

    By "too much" do you mean like, they occupy too much of your time? That would kind of suck tbf. I do kinda hate losing time to just inert stimming...

      Thank you lea-smile

      They just take up too much time and are too addictive/constant. Its not just like sad stimming, its just constantly doing it for no reason. Some of them I'd be okay with but some I do need to stop doing or cut back on.

        lea-think If there's a way to stop stimming Idk what that way is tbh. You could maybe do other stims to replace some, but I think you have sort of a required amount of stimming, sorta? Not sure tbh

          Yea that's fair, and maybe its not that bad. I've just been feeling like I do a lot of autistic things and not doing some of them would be nice. But maybe it is a normal amount.

            I mean if it's inconveniencing you or disrupting your routine it makes sense to want to do em less. Idk if there's a "normal" amount tho thonk

        I've had destructive stims and to try to stop I would try to change one for another.

        Especially if I'm aware I'm doing one I don't want to do..
