it seems s...Somewhere else on this blog you wrote:<br /><br /><i>it seems self-evident to me that if you ever talked to an ASD person for one minute about stimming, you would not be treating stimming as a bad behavior...</i><br /><br />Would that it were so. This is one of the big issues I'm having right now. I stim a lot more in private, but even if I were capable of keeping myself from ever stimming in public (which I am altogether incapable of) I still wouldn't want to be treated as if it were something wrong that I shouldn't do. I'm increasingly feeling that this is a civil rights issue and that the societies we live in need to become accustomed to, and tolerant of, these behaviors.<br /><br />But I'm having a lot of trouble now with the expectation that I can and should always be able to keep myself from stimming. (I mean, I do stop when I realize I'm doing it - but I often don't catch myself until I've been doing it for several seconds, and then shortly after stopping myself I often catch myself doing it yet again.)<br /><br />I can explain and explain and explain and still it's being seen as bad behavior.<br /><br />Thank you for talking about this, here and elsewhere.toddynhohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01157235331979763500noreply@blogger.com
