So, I've decided to get and try out some mouth stim toys because I've been smoking/vaping increasingly and I've theorized it's due to my AuDHD and needing something in my mouth.

I used to chew my nails but I stopped after putting on acrylic tips until I started biting the skin around my nails. I keep biting the inside of my cheek, which apparently is "a sign of mouth stimming" but I'm not sure how true that one is.

In my past, I smoked cigarettes but mainly did it socially and when I was overstimulated. I never got addicted to nicotine and was able to quit cold turkey and stick with smoking weed.

I bite the skin from my lips frequently even when it's not ready to come off. It's just so many signs of ways I fidget or stim using my mouth that I decided to try it out finally. I should be getting the ones pictured today and I got ones that look like feathers that will be here tomorrow in case the ones I get today feel awkward.

At first, I kind of felt weird about looking for this type of product because they're mainly geared towards children and it made me feel... less like an adult but in a bad way, if that makes sense. I just need to remember that even the studies of ADHD and Autism are geared towards children, not adults, and they mainly use research done on boys, not girls.

I'm kind of excited and hope that I'm right. I'd love to smoke less and have a lower tolerance again while smoking to have fun and be high, not just smoking to be doing something with my mouth.

Fingers crossed!

Do you think that your shutdown could be controlled in any way?

Like a "controlled shutdown"? (I probably don't know what I'm talking about since many things in the #ActuallyAutistic community I still don't know about...it's been at least more than 10 years being diagnosed #Autistic and ie. I still don't completely understand what a #stim is and I think I've began grasping some things in me that I could think of as "#stims")

Question: With what color infinities should I make this available with?

It is a very nice #stim toy made for the stim prompt of this #AutismAcceptanceMonth's #AutisticCreativeFestival's #AutisticCreativeTakeover by @/SaltedGayFish on Twitter and Tumblr. :3

What was the earliest #stim you can remember?

Typically, people think it's cute I think when I tell them my primary #stim behaviour is #humming. But those people don't understand the severity of said humming or what it does to me inside my head.

Because make no mistake, I do not want to hum -- however, the #brain demands it, in a near-#OCD way in which if I don't hum, bad things will happen. It is in fact a pervasive-style thought more than anything, and I get no choice in the matter, as I will often just 'wake up' (I've been awake the whole time mind you) realizing I've been humming for an entire 2 hours, but only 2 bars of a #song over and over again.

I do wish a prevalent option by my brain wasn't -marching band tunes- either, and oddly enough not even well-known ones. No, all those years in band means I can make them up on the fly, and somehow remember them to hum over and over again for everyone to 'enjoy' (but never enough of the song to really get anywhere, that's the most frustrating part of all perhaps).

I just found myself humming the same 4 bars of "Fever" (most notably linked to Peggy Lee, but written by Otis Blackwell and Eddie Cooley) over and over again for hours ad-nauseum, probably because I don't know any more of the song than that. But what's worse is that the song gets me snapping my fingers, and once I start snapping my fingers that rhythmically, I usually transition directly into the theme song of Sharky and George.

I guess what I'm trying to say is: Send help.

My first non-loom bead weaving project.

It's slow going, to say the least. But the repetitive tasks are good for my #mentalhealth so I am happy to make 18 failed projects before I get a decent one, heh.

Les pays qui dénoncent les plus les inégalités de genres, sont les pays où les filles en expriment le plus de souffrances/inégalités.
On peut rapprocher cela de la problématique du #GenderEqualityParadox (Le fait que les filles aillent moins vers les #STIM dans les pays les plus égalitaires)

Job #1 doesn’t allow me to #stim and punishes me for all of my #AutisticTraits . Stim toys are frowned upon so I bought this. I like my 2nd and 3th jobs better than this one.

One of my major stims is seeing, feeling, and blowing bubbles. I knew I loved them, I just didn't realize until recently they are an #actuallyautistic #AutisticJoy #stim They are my kind of bubbly.

Listening to radio in the car, hunting up #Ōtautahi #Christchurch stations that are new to me.

96.9 seems like a public access kind of deal. They were just talking about music for "#stim dancing", and shouted out #stims as particularly good for #neurodivergent people and those living with #trauma.

This is huge, I almost never hear this kind of thing discussed outside of my social media circles!

bought some mini bottles of blowing bubbles. they just make me happy.

Lately I've been preferring to listen to my own music over and over rather than to discover new music. Is that a form of #stim? Because I'm starting to feel a bit dumb and self-centered about it.

@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.

#lgbtq #actuallyautistic

I have a whole range of stimming behaviors to choose from when I need to de-stress. Today, it's bouncing my legs like I'm trying to start an earthquake. Just keeping it cool and collected over here. #ASD #neurodiversity #stim

This is my intended plan between now and the #NewYears :comfysip:
