I love this! I never understood why some people try to stop the stimming. I guarantee those people couldn't look me in the eye and say they never tapped their foot when nervous, or turned down the radio when looking for an address. #autismmom #autism #respectthestim

Stimming is something we NEED to do. Asking if stimming should be ‘allowed’ is like asking if breathing or sneezing or yawning should be allowed. #respectthestim #stimming #actuallyautistic

It's heartbreaking that even "modern" ABA pathologizes harmless stimming. #respectthestim

@drmelpenner 2/2. ... faceblindness, sensory processing, hypersensitive hearing, hyperacusis, Ehlers-Danos and related disorders... That is more important than knowing about our EQ. We do have EQ and empathy. We have our own norms and culture. Respect us. #RespectTheStim

A3: Not really. All of mine don't hurt me or others. #RespectTheStim here. Though I do want to stop biting my nails when I'm anxious at some point. It would be nice to have pretty nails but also when they get too long before my next manicure it's a sensory issue so...#autchat

#DidYouKnow? Stereotypic, repetitive behavior, often referred to as ‘stimming,’ helps people with autism regulate their bodies. This can include rocking, hand flapping, spinning, or repeating noises or words. #AutismAwareness #LiftFamiliesWithAutismUp #RespectTheStim

@AnnMemmott @ElaineMcgreevy It changes lives alright. Not for the better though. I find the best way to stop an ABA therapist in their tracks is to ask them to explain the 8 functions of Stimming. Yes more than 4!!! Here’s what I’ve put togther
