Autistics and stims. Please rethink.
Autistics MUST NOT stim.
Please rethink….
Stimming serves a purpose, its true
A coping mechanism, a way to soothe.
Calming nerves, reorganizing thoughtsA brush with Somatosensory body remapping
Engaging in stims... is quite typical for neurotypicals!!
Society accepts these stims with ease
Oh, the irony!!
... nonstop clicking of TV remote
... mindless paper doodling
... obsessive loop of tik-tok and youtube shorts
... head buried in phone when walking - accidents waiting to happen.
So should autistics be allowed to stim mindlessly too?
Au contraire, it's not always a breeze.
Stimming is exhausting, Energy consuming
A switch on repeat, an obsessive desire.
Runaway motor movements. No pause or stop
Maddening. All consuming. Overwhelming
Autistics and stims. Please rethink.
Some stimming can be beneficial, it's true.
But cross a threshold, and it becomes OCD,
The cutoff is something you need to determine.
Find balance in stimming, it's key,
To regulate emotions and bring inner peace.
