Petits coussins de textures, stimmy, stim toys, cousu à la main
À destination des personnes NA/ND (enfant après 3 ans, ados, adultes)
Premier coussin : des perles sont cousues dessus pour donner des texture relief
Deuxième coussin : fluff ! Pour donner une sensation douce au toucher
Troisième coussin : en satin (je sais pas comment jai réussi car le satin c'est carrément pas mon copain)
Ca donne une texture légère et douce, glissante
Quatrième coussin : il est rempli de quelques petites boules molles et douces (comme celles posées a côté)
Pour une sensation de trier les boule a l'intérieur

So, question for my @actuallyautistic peeps... Does anyone else start counting as a stim? I was working on a data problem for work late last night and found myself counting... Like everything! Residual bits today, but I mended some stuff sewing and got it out of my system (I think crocheting and macrame helped in a similar way when I was younger). It's been a while since I've had this happen, but now that I understand who I am more, I'm observing my own behavior / impulses / compulsions with a totally different eye (like how I used to -- and still do -- organize art supplies by color).

I've been giving my vocal #stims extremely free range… I kind of annoy myself with them. I don't like me making noise and being obnoxious anymore than I like it in other people. It’s a strange dynamic. But it does work to eventually get my brain to a more still and quiet place.
The only vocal stims I do actually thoroughly enjoy are the ones that are just sounds (or sometimes single words) repeated.
The rest of it is me talking mostly nonsense and that grates on me pretty quickly. Often while it's happening I'm thinking ‘what is this? who is this? is this me?’

Spent some tine staffing a table at a health fair, supporting our employee group that serves differently abled, #neurodivergent, parents, and #caregivers. It was loud and crowded for a while but we managed! I should have brought more #stims!

Question for the autistics: have you ever gone through a phase of obsessively manipulating bits of paper? Origami? Paper quilling? Removing the labels from crayons and beer bottles?

@Richard_Littler @actuallyautistic I remember how my #pendulum swung when I came out as #gay. I was an in-your-face #queer. 🤣🌈 I eventually calmed down.
Where it comes to my #autism and #masking I’m not really sure how in touch I am with myself and my needs and #stims.
For now I’m mostly focused on being mindful of my internal state and giving myself space to #stim or #selfcare as needed. Most of this aligns with what I consider my #introversion.

I’ve decided to do an #introduction, which is a little daunting, to me, because I usually give more info than needed. Here we go, anyway. 😊
My name is Sage. I’ma 55 year old woman, with 4 grown children, and am an #atheist. I was diagnosed with #Autism, a few years ago. As a child, I was a non-verbal hand flapper, and never diagnosed. (May have to do with the abusive family, in charge of my care) I’m also the survivor of severe daily trauma, which was sexual, physical, emotional, mental. As a result, I have #CPTSD. 11 years ago, I began, in earnest, to heal myself from the damage people had done to me. I’m doing so well, I feel like I won’t be able to say I have it, in the next couple years. I’m proud of myself. I gave my children the love I desperately wanted, as a child, and I didn’t repeat the abuse cycle. I also gave myself the love I wanted and needed, as a child. It truly changed everything. I think my autism is the most interesting about me, and I’ve grown proud to be #Autistic.
My most frequent #Stims
Rubbing the top of my head, in a clockwise circle, with my left hand.
Hand flapping, especially when making a decision I find challenging.
A variety of #fidget toys
Rocking
Tapping each finger, consecutively, to the thumb of same hand, repeatedly and quickly, both hands, same time. This is a sign I’m feeling stressed.My Main #Interests

no amount of #caffeine (or other #stims) is gonna make me do something productive.
I've been struggling with #anhedonia, #lethargy and #anxiety for a long time, I just feel helpless, I'm trying my best but it's not working...
I need another way to deal with all this. -
