Of course I also stim for the typical reasons, but I feel like I’ll sometimes sort of “play up” certain autism-associated traits as a form of body language… I’ve also experienced people not understanding what stims are and misinterpreting mine, so maybe it’s a bit naïve of me to do this.
Its a work in progress right now, I swear I haven’t forgotten about it
Take your time. :-)
I swear I haven’t forgot but I can’t decide on a background and I can’t really get the sparkles right, and last but definetly not least I still am not sure if I really have autism, I dont really know if I should be interacting with the autism community because I dont know if I’m even apart and that seems to be stifling progress.
You shouldn’t doubt yourself.
I took my time, I really couldn’t decide on a background, then I really couldn’t get it to look the way I wanted, then I couldn’t get the sparkles to look good. But I basically just gave up but didn’t want to leave you hanging so here is the best I could come up with, sorry that it’s not really what I originally promised. You could probably print these out and tape/glue them together, or print them with a printer that supports printing on both sides, or you could print them on card stock if you’re really feeling creative.
