i feel like i need to say this since im in the ‘pretty stim’ category

stimming is NOT just glitter and shiny things.

my blog may seem like it is but it’s not. i just reblog these things because its stuff that i find soothing and nice and i just want to share it with others. but you cant see stimming as just slime and sand guys. there are bodily stims and you cant make fun of those things. heck i get weird stares when i twist my hair with my finger for a good hour, i even see people make fun of others who suck on their thumb or like to touch stuff.

it is absolutely wrong to make fun of someone just for stimming in a different way than you do. especially when that person needs to in order to move on. instead of laughing at them maybe you should let them do what they need to do. especially when they are autistic or have a mental illness.
