When 'stimming' doesn't sound 'adult' (it sounds rather dodgy to me lol), it also conjures images of flapping children and the repetitive rocking of some adults with learning disabilities. Autistic stimming IS those things, but it is also so much more than that. Join me as I talk about part of my autistic experience. Do you relate? Let me know in the comments below!

If you have met one autistic (and or ADHD) person, you have met one person. This is a spectrum condition, and many traits may be different, or have alternative explanations for your symptoms. If in doubt, refer to a psychologist, and not a YouTuber.

Self-diagnosis is valid!
