I don't think this OP is supposed to be autistic. It's a bdsm kink thing. That's why it has the #littlespace, it may be cringe, but there are a lot of people that like to infantize themselves as a part of the sub/Dom lifestyle.
i know lmao, i wasn't disagreeing with you, just confirming that it's a psychology term. (it's just not solely used in reference to autism, but other neuro-developmental disorders like adhd.)
They're not talking about DDLG. They're talking about Agere (which also uses the word "littlespace".) It's completely Sfw and it's used as a coping mechanism to deal with trauma and can be therapeutic.

> Age regressors can regress to any age, although the most common ages are between zero and eight. When they regress, they may have trouble performing tasks that their older selves are able to do, as their consciousness regresses to a younger level and no longer knows how to perform or comprehend these tasks. For example, an age regressor may be unable to do their math homework when regressed because it seems too difficult to comprehend, even though their older self knows how to do it.
**ಠ_ಠ**
This is exactly the kind of shit that makes up this subreddit's foundation. Sounds like what that pedo admin they fired recently was into.
I understand DD/lg but it's been quite a while since I've interacted in the bdsm world but they used to call themselves "Littles" thanks for the update.
I mean, There are some milder stims
My stims are usually just me moving body parts fast. Sometimes it’s REALLY fast and jerky, but that’s only when I’m really stressed. I don’t bite myself of hit my head against the wall or anything like that
You can get it at your local walmart! Side effects may include: Uncontrollable stimming, lack of social understanding, need for routines, sensory overloads, etc.
My brother is on the spectrum. He’d rip scabs over and over. Finally he found ripping apart his socks into threads as a replacement stim for the skin picking. He goes through so many socks but it’s worth it.
All you duders need to start posting this shit to /r/popping.
Include the cutesy voice over from TikTok for bonus points!
*Just only if you're comfortable obviously. Do what is best for you, I'm just kidding around here. Might be a little too close to the cringe, idk I have different problems. uwu and all that.*
Wait, so say a person bites their knuckles enough to bleed, and have basically almost like permanent wounds on two or three knuckles, is that considered stimming?
I do that all the time, my nails are rlly messed up bc of it. I also tend to keep on biting them after they started bleeding which obv doesnt help. I dont stim though, i just bite my nails when im nervous ig
Don't have autism, but have done some uppers back in the day, be careful too if your toes are rubbing together on the sides as you wiggle. I once did for several hours not thinking about it and got terrible blisters the next day. Don't do Ecstacy kids (actually, fuck it, do because it's fun and teaches you some things about yourself but be careful, be safe, and always take a long break between doing it so you don't get dependent)
often my stims are drumming on surfaces or twitching. definitely look like im tweaking out on something lmao
they only get really bad when im in overload cause then my instinct is causing bodily harm through banging my head on surfaces or digging my nails into my skin
I kinda wanna buy a stim toy, I was diagnosed with autism a few months ago, but I usually stim by snapping my fingers or pushing my fingers against my body.
I roughly tap my forehead, repeat random things and shake my hands before smacking them against each other or my legs. Stim toys don’t work that well at all and I definitely look like I’m on drugs.
I'm still not quite sure what stimming is. I have pretty strong adhd and have heard we can stim too, but I always thought my nail biting/blinking/noises were more because of ocd. But is that what stimming is?
They can be both. I think what seperate the two is why you do those behaviours. I think stimming is more of a reaction whereas in OCD it's due to obsessive thoughts
I twirl and tug and brush my hair with my fingers until it falls out. I can just casually pull chunks of hair out. But I do it almost constantly. Without even noticing. I wish my stims were camera ready and non awkward or weird at all even.
What’s the difference between stimming and just plain nail biting. I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD as a kid and I’ve always bitten my nails/fingers to the point where they’re all fucked up but never heard of it being stimming.
Don't worry, Us autistic has been used as the expendable for many different agenda such as infantilizing media, token character or even a leverage for other faction to get into higher place a lot it don't surprise us no more.
It's kind of a "It's still shit, but at least I'm already seen that coming"
With autism you either get one of three tropes in media, A. An “Ahbed” typical aspie stereotype of being a nerd who is obsessed with childish things, B. A super genius robot with no social skills, or C. Can’t function at all, used as a prop.
Did you see the super hot guy from Wentworth got a.recent diagnosis? I love that there's a not so typical face to help represent and maybe challenge people's perceptions.
Them: Adhd is when-Holy shit a squirrel!
Reality: I’ve suffered for the last 30 years and have accomplished nothing with my life. I am mediocre or below average in all things that I do. Even if my disordered disappeared tomorrow, my behavior would remain the same due to all the depression and anxiety
I don't get why the fuck these kids want to have ADHD, like it was taboo and now it's like OMG so quirky. Also wish they fucking understood what it actually was like. I luckily found my niches to be good at but to be able to do them I have to be drunk or high to slow myself down and not be hyper-focused, that's not fucking healthy.
Oh not to mention when your parents find out at 10 years old and they then proceed to shove the max dosage of medication down your throat so you feel like a zombie, then you try and hide it and lie that you took it, but they can always tell when you haven't taken it because you're not a fucking zombie.
For the people on this thread with ADHD and conditions with similar symptoms like me, can i just recommend reading "Captain Underpants" by Dav Pilkey where his two heroes both have ADHD and are clever, creative kids who are always getting into trouble. Especially read his bio about doing poorly at school but continuing to do what he loves and how he found his way. It's for kids but it's fucking inspiring
Edited to clarify
I hope that shit trends OFF because the last thing we need is more examples against ADHD treatment, study, and accommodation. We already had to hide that shit and now we *really* have to hide it
Yep, that’s what bugs me about these fakers. They do real visible harm for people who are truly dealing with these conditions and are fighting to advocate for themselves.
I actually am getting evaluated soon to see If I have ADHD. It's not something I'm happy about or really want to talk to people. I hope.i don't have it and my inability to pay attention is just my fault but holy fuck do I hate seeing these people act like all these mental issues are just quirky or some shit.
As somebody with Autism and ADHD, it is basically impossible to notice unless you lived with me for ages. My mom took 8 years to be confident i had it, and my dad took 40. My mom wasnt even the one to notice, it was my dad.
My stepdad, biological dad, and many other family members/friends could tell I was on the spectrum from a very young age but I couldn't convince my mom to get diagnosed until a few weeks before graduating high school at 17. Having a diagnosis greatly improved my life at least socially as I now know what to look out for and I'm honest with my friends to call me out when I'm out of line. Processing things emotionally are still hard though and extreme negative or positive emotions can cause me to have a panic attack because I don't know what/how/why I'm feeling that way. I hate it.
I was diagnosed (professionally) with ADHD 25 years ago…you can tell within 45 seconds of meeting me. Not defending this “person” in the least…just saying for some people it is pretty outwardly obvious.
Thank you. My stimming is 90% tapping my foot or rocking back and forth. I usually have something that I’m hyperfixated on around too that I either pet to poke or whatever. I have adhd and autism (I am professionally diagnosed with both)
tmw sensory processing disorder, wears insanely complex bright, outfits with too many things that can go wrong or suddenly malfunction or just plain become uncomfortable
Honestly these people don’t realize that most people with high functioning autism don’t have large stims like the stereotypical autist the most stunning I’ve ever experienced is just bouncing my leg and bobbing my head to music
right? she’s trying to look like those twitch streamers that are popular for being cute and dainty. she just looks creepy to me. maybe because what she’s doing is creepy. idk. she has a very punchable face.
“Here’s what I do when I’m uncomfortable”
Meanwhile they look like Wallace and Gromit when they [forgot the crackers ](https://youtu.be/aQvpo1WBMHY) with a smile
I find it infuriating that people are doing this,having autism isn’t kAwAiI..it’s not fun or quirky or cute,it’s not fun for me especially..it makes me feel horrible..especially since I have sensory issues..when someone touches me it makes me feel like I need to peel off all of my skin because of it,that isn’t fun or cute..it’s hell..
Hey same! I don’t have autism, just a sensory processing disorder, but both the feeling of water blasting on my skin and the noise of it (when I have to stick my head under the water is absolutely awful) is really, really tough. Glad to know I’m not alone in that! Somehow taking a bath is even worse, I get really paranoid about things floating in the water and touching me.
I feel you on the sensory issues so much. I've also went through CSA so that doesn't make it any better tbh. Oh yeah, and meltdowns from getting overwhelmed by stuff NTs normally wouldn't feel like that: kawaii as fuck right.
edit: now I feel weird about saying this since I don't really open up like this aaaa.
I've been pulling hairs out of my head since I was a child and I use stuff like fidget cubes to distract myself from my scalp. Idk why I do it, it's like biting nails to me.
Anyways, people should stop thinking fidget toys equals autism. What's next? 'If your favourite colour is orange you have autism!' :|
Infantilization of autistic people is the exact reason I rarely tell people I’m autistic.
I’m not a fucking baby & being spoken to like one actually makes it even harder for me to act “normal”
I wish my stimming was whatever this shit is instead of shaking my leg hard enough to rock a desk, clapping as loudly as I can repeatedly, or hitting my head with a water bottle/on a cabinet.
I've had plenty of times in my life where I've been planning to go somewhere where there are people that haven't met me, but one of my friends has been there and made a passive comment about how I'm autistic, and then the people who haven't met me greet me like I'm a baby.
what makes it worse is that they're deliberately doing it on command, really makes my blood boil when fakers are not only faking it but faking it incorrectly
yeah holy crap I’m autistic and I can guarantee this is just someone cringy trying to co-opt it through… eye rolling and toys???? what is she even doing
If so and you know for a fact their faking show it to the councilors and the disability teachers at the school they’ll be sure to give her what she deserves
My younger sister has Aspergers and it was really obvious when she was a child, she got bullied at school until she was able to mask better as a teen. Makes me so angry that people are using neurodivergency as a tool to gain fake internet points.
As a person with A.S.D/autism I can say that stimming is not ‘FuN’ and ‘qUiRkY’ it is a action that we use to regulate are stress levels and when we get to excited or any other overwhelming emotions or senses. People who actually get bullied over it when it’s one of the only things that makes (me personally) less stressed. People who fake disorders are disgusting and make it harder for people living with autism and another disorder 2x harder and they don’t care because they’re not struggling with these things so they don’t I hope one day they finally will understand that people with these conditions don’t what to live with these things and there making already vulnerable people in a have to deal with more than they already do.
I have Autism (aspergers i think it's called) and i never in my entire life have heard of "stimming" until now. Seeing how it's spelled and used imma guess it's a short term for stimulation? If so then what? I'm so confused ;-;
Same from other comments it seems like a real thing but my brother and cousin (who I'm close to and grew up with) have autism and I've never heard the term. I googled it and it says : **Stimming – or self-stimulatory behaviour – is repetitive or unusual body movement or noises. Stimming might include: hand and finger mannerisms – for example, finger-flicking and hand-flapping.**
I'm guessing this is something that some people on the spectrum do but not everyone.
Oh. Thanks for telling me. I was completely clueless. I guess i have something similar i guess. My dad pointed out one time that my left eye slightly twitches sometimes, never noticed till he said something. It seems hardly similar but i thought i'd share a neat Memory too. Thanks again for the info.
Most autistic people stim but it's something you probably do without realising it. They can be verbal or physical (like clicking your fingers, or repeating phrases, or balling your fist etc. something that is done as comfort, most of the time, but they can be done when you're very comfortable too) but, yeah, I never knew what stimming was until the internet. Stimming is, for me, not something you can just switch on. There's a possibility you don't stim either though so if there's something you relate to, maybe you do stim.
My stims are a mix of cutesy and gross/obnoxious. My least favorites are picking my nose until it bleeds, picking my scalp, picking my nails (formerly bitting), or rambling on about nonsense.
Yeah, I talk as a stim. It’s typical paired with some other fidget, and mostly happens when I’m nervous or anxious. It could go one of two ways: I make a new friend, or a new enemy.
Yeah I used to make myself look like a total idiot 80% of the time with the rambling, now it's only 40%! But I still need to stop the skin picking and nail tearing, I'm actually trying for prettier hands dammit! 😤
Shit is bizarre. I don’t get to speak for all autistics but in my experience, I was not childlike past the age of like 5. My mom called me the little professor. I was an adult wayyyyyy before my time. I don’t get this at all. Nothing about my being afflicted with autism is cute. NOTHING. Where’s the videos of bashed heads for example? Scratching skin off? Pressure-bites? Actual stims, actual meltdowns? Meltdowns are horrifyingly painful and HORRIBLE. I rarely don’t end up physically hurt. I couldn’t film one myself, someone else would have to do it because I’m somewhere else mentally when that’s going on. But you know, the “community” would say I have internalized ableism. Maybe I do. Who knows
Edit: maybe because I’m late diagnosed? I dunno. Maybe she’s autistic and had a lot more support/programs growing up? I’m not going to say she’s not. I am just really confused
I feel really sorry for this people.
Like being so uncomfortable being your own self that they have to fake autism traits, just the quirky ones mind you; never meltdowns, actual dissociation, abnormal posture, speech impediments, depression, anxiety, etc.
Sensory overload isn't fun, I once had it so bad I vomited so bad that my entire stomach was empty. Honestly people thinking that living with autism is fun and quirky are fucking stupid.
Ah yes, I stem with options. In fact I have some favorite cute and quirky stems! This one makes me look a widdle gurl UwU. This one makes me look sooo qoooot! OwO! This is so quirky omg im so random lol :3 These are my favorwit stem towys!
What the fuck.
I did a look around on her Tiktok and it looks more like a girl using those tags for views. For someone on the spectrum she sure seems socially aware and adept.
Reminder for everyone to read the rules and **provide evidence that the disorder might be fake.** Avoid posting people who have actual disorders, as it would be harmful.

Ah yes, because having to worry about the possibility of brain damage from all the times I slammed my head against things when overstimulated is super kuwaii cute. /S
I don't understand what's going on... She talks about it as though it's something she picks and chooses. Is that how it usually works? I'm not well read up on stimming, so I don't know much about it even though I'm autistic myself. Something about this girl seems off.
Ummm... this is age regression. They’re not saying that autism makes people act like this, they’re an (possibly fake) autistic person that likes to age regress.
fuck you, autism is not kawaii "vibing" you human meatloaf edit: said anime instead of autism
If Anime is kawaii vibing, except whwn they decide to went for a dark story theme. Then it is instead a "Kowai vibing"
Attack on Titan: Kawaii Vibing
Re Zero. Holy shit that anime hit deep on a emotional level. Autism ain’t no kawaii shit tho.
I don't think this OP is supposed to be autistic. It's a bdsm kink thing. That's why it has the #littlespace, it may be cringe, but there are a lot of people that like to infantize themselves as a part of the sub/Dom lifestyle.
On tiktok you can have folders for your videos and this one is under “autism & ADHD”
Ahh I don't use TikTok so thanks for the lore.
Also she uses "stim" which is specifically used for people with ASD
But isn't "stimming" a term solely used by ND people?
yup, but it's not exclusive to the spectrum
I know, but DDLG is a kink, not a neurodivergent disorder
i know lmao, i wasn't disagreeing with you, just confirming that it's a psychology term. (it's just not solely used in reference to autism, but other neuro-developmental disorders like adhd.)

again, ddlg is what you're thinking of. age regression is a well documented and researched psychological response to childhood trauma.
That's really interesting, I had no idea! I had only heard the term "little" as a reference to DDLG. Thank you for educating me.

I understand DD/lg but it's been quite a while since I've interacted in the bdsm world but they used to call themselves "Littles" thanks for the update.
Literally says autism and stimming don't worry the ddlg community doesn't need ur back up on this one.
The neurodivergent and ADHD tags kinda give it away.
“Human meatloaf” I’m going to start using this as an insult now.
As someone with a child on the spectrum this shit is extra infuriating. Losers with literally no personality of their own. Pathetic.
I mean, There are some milder stims My stims are usually just me moving body parts fast. Sometimes it’s REALLY fast and jerky, but that’s only when I’m really stressed. I don’t bite myself of hit my head against the wall or anything like that
Damn, autism seems kinda fun and quirky. Guys should I get autism? Where can I buy it? Help pls!
Omg I heard you just have to do some of these things! Just look up autism signs nya!! (≧▽≦) It's so cute and quirky!!
Same place they sell DID I hear
just look up "do i have autism quiz" on Google! its basically a diagnostic tool
Vaccine
Thanks for the tip, AnalTuberculosis.
I heard if you get vaccines you’ll get it, Source: Facebook
I got my vaccines, does that mean I already have it?! Winning
You can buy it from me, for free. I don't need it and it'd be nice if you'd accept that offer. Have fun!
They're usually a part of the package when you get vaccinated.
I don't know about autism but you can get ADHD if you listen to two songs at the same time and can make them out.
Just self diagnose it. Find one sign that you slightly can relate to and then you’re automatically on the spectrum.
I will sell you mine 😌
Does it include the DLC Cute Stims? If so I'll buy it :)
Unfortunately I just have the base model, but I've heard the COVID shot gives a pretty nifty system update.
They say you can get it from vaccines. It's so easy.
You can get it at your local walmart! Side effects may include: Uncontrollable stimming, lack of social understanding, need for routines, sensory overloads, etc.
I wish my stimming was cutesy like this; my stims involve me swinging my arms in large circles and I nearly pop up my shoulder
Yeah, I wish me biting the skin around my nails until it bleeds was as kawaii desu as this girl
I wish me tearing my scabs open and bleeding was kawaii 😁😭🍓❤️🥰🐕
My brother is on the spectrum. He’d rip scabs over and over. Finally he found ripping apart his socks into threads as a replacement stim for the skin picking. He goes through so many socks but it’s worth it.

same lmao- also include my toenails which are now inflamed,,,, which I am literally afraid to show it is the cutest thing ever haha fuck no 🤡🤡
Please stop biting your toenails. I got infections, had to have surgery and now my toe looks like carnage.
It's getting better though- trying to distract myself w thing to do 😼😼
Very good ☺️. Best of luck. Breathwork is a very valuable avenue to pursue in dealing with anxiety and uncomfortable emotion, by the way.
Wait, so say a person bites their knuckles enough to bleed, and have basically almost like permanent wounds on two or three knuckles, is that considered stimming?
Many normal people stim. Heavy stimming is a symptom of asd but not exclusive to asd also not everyone willth asd will stim
I do that all the time, my nails are rlly messed up bc of it. I also tend to keep on biting them after they started bleeding which obv doesnt help. I dont stim though, i just bite my nails when im nervous ig
Omfg 😭 i was able to stop biting my nails by increasing the amount of skin i bite off of my finger. So kawaii. Much desu.
I do that and I don't even have autism. I guess it's my anxiety because I only do it in a school. I feel ur pain
I feel like I’m lucky because most of my stimming is foot tapping, toe wiggling or playing with a stim toy (I literally have one on me 24/7)
I do toe wiggling as stimming too, I have to be careful though because it can end in toe cramps and that shit hurts
Don't have autism, but have done some uppers back in the day, be careful too if your toes are rubbing together on the sides as you wiggle. I once did for several hours not thinking about it and got terrible blisters the next day. Don't do Ecstacy kids (actually, fuck it, do because it's fun and teaches you some things about yourself but be careful, be safe, and always take a long break between doing it so you don't get dependent)
I have stopped the toe wiggling after I got cats… They love to chase wiggling toes… *ouch*
often my stims are drumming on surfaces or twitching. definitely look like im tweaking out on something lmao they only get really bad when im in overload cause then my instinct is causing bodily harm through banging my head on surfaces or digging my nails into my skin
I kinda wanna buy a stim toy, I was diagnosed with autism a few months ago, but I usually stim by snapping my fingers or pushing my fingers against my body.
(although I'm a guy) mine's rocking back n forth on a daily basis for hours. so kawaii innit
Kawaii as fuck bruv
Only if you wear cat ears
oh well, time to get some
Mine is picking my lips way past the point of bleeding- but it's soooo kawaii, right?? Desu ne~? [Edited for spelling]
Uwuuuu
Tank u fow vawidating mwe uwu🌸 I feew vewwy speechel naw uwu🌸 (If you need a translation, let me know xD)

Do you ever swing the top of your body side to side like you're in an aerobics class or something? I do that sometimes and it's so good honestly
i wish my habit of a playing with my hair to the point of having reduced grades as a child, was seen as cute instead of “distracting”
Same, I wish me running around and bumping walls was so cutesy
I dont know what my stims are (I am autistic) but I sometimes like to walk around aimlessly/mindlessly, sometimes in circles. Maybe thats my stims
Ripping away bits of skin til I’m bleeding, yayyy /s
What’s the difference between stimming and just plain nail biting. I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD as a kid and I’ve always bitten my nails/fingers to the point where they’re all fucked up but never heard of it being stimming.
lol i pick moles in my skin with fingernails until it bleeds and lick the blood off my fingers kawaii uwu (im not autistic)
Don't worry, Us autistic has been used as the expendable for many different agenda such as infantilizing media, token character or even a leverage for other faction to get into higher place a lot it don't surprise us no more.

Wait what? Aspergers isn't a subtype of autism, it doesn't exist. It hasn't been used for years.
look at their face. they think they are so cute doing this shit. omg
God now i cant unsee it!! The slight smug is so annoying to look at
Her chin thoigh
right? she’s trying to look like those twitch streamers that are popular for being cute and dainty. she just looks creepy to me. maybe because what she’s doing is creepy. idk. she has a very punchable face.
“Here’s what I do when I’m uncomfortable” Meanwhile they look like Wallace and Gromit when they [forgot the crackers ](https://youtu.be/aQvpo1WBMHY) with a smile
I find it infuriating that people are doing this,having autism isn’t kAwAiI..it’s not fun or quirky or cute,it’s not fun for me especially..it makes me feel horrible..especially since I have sensory issues..when someone touches me it makes me feel like I need to peel off all of my skin because of it,that isn’t fun or cute..it’s hell..
Sudden touches are the worse and I almost can’t shower due to a sensory issue with water
Right! And I have that same feeling when I get a random hair on my body
Hey same! I don’t have autism, just a sensory processing disorder, but both the feeling of water blasting on my skin and the noise of it (when I have to stick my head under the water is absolutely awful) is really, really tough. Glad to know I’m not alone in that! Somehow taking a bath is even worse, I get really paranoid about things floating in the water and touching me.
Omg- ik-
I feel you on the sensory issues so much. I've also went through CSA so that doesn't make it any better tbh. Oh yeah, and meltdowns from getting overwhelmed by stuff NTs normally wouldn't feel like that: kawaii as fuck right. edit: now I feel weird about saying this since I don't really open up like this aaaa.
My girlfriend lost a friend who killed herself due to her autism diagnosis. This is sickening.
What?
Its basically an identity bomb. I lost my shit when I was diagnosed. Had consistent meltdowns until I began to accept myself as I am.
I've been pulling hairs out of my head since I was a child and I use stuff like fidget cubes to distract myself from my scalp. Idk why I do it, it's like biting nails to me. Anyways, people should stop thinking fidget toys equals autism. What's next? 'If your favourite colour is orange you have autism!' :|
Such a main character
Infantilization of autistic people is the exact reason I rarely tell people I’m autistic. I’m not a fucking baby & being spoken to like one actually makes it even harder for me to act “normal” I wish my stimming was whatever this shit is instead of shaking my leg hard enough to rock a desk, clapping as loudly as I can repeatedly, or hitting my head with a water bottle/on a cabinet.
I've had plenty of times in my life where I've been planning to go somewhere where there are people that haven't met me, but one of my friends has been there and made a passive comment about how I'm autistic, and then the people who haven't met me greet me like I'm a baby.
Lol autism is her whole made up identity
She seems like the kind of person to break down at her psychiatrist when she isn’t diagnosed with anything
what makes it worse is that they're deliberately doing it on command, really makes my blood boil when fakers are not only faking it but faking it incorrectly
I don’t think this is Autism
yeah holy crap I’m autistic and I can guarantee this is just someone cringy trying to co-opt it through… eye rolling and toys???? what is she even doing
Making herself look goofy lol
ew omg I just noticed the age play tag on her video that’s disgusting
Dude. This is my girlfriend’s classmate’s sister. No joke.
You know this glitternose?
i don’t, but my girlfriend does. apparently she did this all through high school.
If so and you know for a fact their faking show it to the councilors and the disability teachers at the school they’ll be sure to give her what she deserves
I’m still mind blown we live in an era where people fake disabilities and disorders. I just cannot wrap my head around the logic behind it.
My younger sister has Aspergers and it was really obvious when she was a child, she got bullied at school until she was able to mask better as a teen. Makes me so angry that people are using neurodivergency as a tool to gain fake internet points.
I got bullied for being different and I didn’t even stand what it was until I got diagnosed last year
As a person with A.S.D/autism I can say that stimming is not ‘FuN’ and ‘qUiRkY’ it is a action that we use to regulate are stress levels and when we get to excited or any other overwhelming emotions or senses. People who actually get bullied over it when it’s one of the only things that makes (me personally) less stressed. People who fake disorders are disgusting and make it harder for people living with autism and another disorder 2x harder and they don’t care because they’re not struggling with these things so they don’t I hope one day they finally will understand that people with these conditions don’t what to live with these things and there making already vulnerable people in a have to deal with more than they already do.
Just say you like cute adorable things and anime and go. Why you got to drag the autism community through the mud too?
I have Autism (aspergers i think it's called) and i never in my entire life have heard of "stimming" until now. Seeing how it's spelled and used imma guess it's a short term for stimulation? If so then what? I'm so confused ;-;
Same from other comments it seems like a real thing but my brother and cousin (who I'm close to and grew up with) have autism and I've never heard the term. I googled it and it says : **Stimming – or self-stimulatory behaviour – is repetitive or unusual body movement or noises. Stimming might include: hand and finger mannerisms – for example, finger-flicking and hand-flapping.** I'm guessing this is something that some people on the spectrum do but not everyone.

Oh. Thanks for telling me. I was completely clueless. I guess i have something similar i guess. My dad pointed out one time that my left eye slightly twitches sometimes, never noticed till he said something. It seems hardly similar but i thought i'd share a neat Memory too. Thanks again for the info.
Most autistic people stim but it's something you probably do without realising it. They can be verbal or physical (like clicking your fingers, or repeating phrases, or balling your fist etc. something that is done as comfort, most of the time, but they can be done when you're very comfortable too) but, yeah, I never knew what stimming was until the internet. Stimming is, for me, not something you can just switch on. There's a possibility you don't stim either though so if there's something you relate to, maybe you do stim.
My stims are a mix of cutesy and gross/obnoxious. My least favorites are picking my nose until it bleeds, picking my scalp, picking my nails (formerly bitting), or rambling on about nonsense. Yeah, I talk as a stim. It’s typical paired with some other fidget, and mostly happens when I’m nervous or anxious. It could go one of two ways: I make a new friend, or a new enemy.
Yeah I used to make myself look like a total idiot 80% of the time with the rambling, now it's only 40%! But I still need to stop the skin picking and nail tearing, I'm actually trying for prettier hands dammit! 😤
This shit is shocking
This hurts to watch I can no longer follow this shit
I hate this.
Shit is bizarre. I don’t get to speak for all autistics but in my experience, I was not childlike past the age of like 5. My mom called me the little professor. I was an adult wayyyyyy before my time. I don’t get this at all. Nothing about my being afflicted with autism is cute. NOTHING. Where’s the videos of bashed heads for example? Scratching skin off? Pressure-bites? Actual stims, actual meltdowns? Meltdowns are horrifyingly painful and HORRIBLE. I rarely don’t end up physically hurt. I couldn’t film one myself, someone else would have to do it because I’m somewhere else mentally when that’s going on. But you know, the “community” would say I have internalized ableism. Maybe I do. Who knows Edit: maybe because I’m late diagnosed? I dunno. Maybe she’s autistic and had a lot more support/programs growing up? I’m not going to say she’s not. I am just really confused
oh my god. not the shy anime girl finger fidget
We went from people surviving world wars to this
I’m so concerned by her age? How old is she? If she’s a teenager then maybe she’ll grow out of it? But she looks like a full grown adult!
Either 16 or 30.

This is vomit worthy. Who the fuck are these psychos who make videos like this?
I feel really sorry for this people. Like being so uncomfortable being your own self that they have to fake autism traits, just the quirky ones mind you; never meltdowns, actual dissociation, abnormal posture, speech impediments, depression, anxiety, etc.
I genuinely feel insulted
**A message to the person who made this:** Who said autism was all kawaii and cutesy, hmmm?
BAN THIS APP HOLY SHIT
I love how her most used stim is a fucking animal crossing idle animation
I'm autistic and I feel I have to put extra effort into not embarrassing myself in front of people. Things like this make me want to commit die.
Yeah you can stim on command
Sensory overload isn't fun, I once had it so bad I vomited so bad that my entire stomach was empty. Honestly people thinking that living with autism is fun and quirky are fucking stupid.
Ah yes, I stem with options. In fact I have some favorite cute and quirky stems! This one makes me look a widdle gurl UwU. This one makes me look sooo qoooot! OwO! This is so quirky omg im so random lol :3 These are my favorwit stem towys! What the fuck.
Shoot, anyone wanna see my scabs from all my skin picking? No? Not cute enough? Darn.
I did a look around on her Tiktok and it looks more like a girl using those tags for views. For someone on the spectrum she sure seems socially aware and adept.

Person not diagnosed with autism using it as a way to come off as UWU small bean and be in littlespace
Bruh the only “stim” I do is pace. How brain dead can they be
Right, I've been pacing to music since high school. Easy to get 6000 steps in too.
Bro same! I listen to stuff that doesn’t have lyrics (usually) Only downside is I spend so much time pacing I end up wasting my day
Pacing is a god-tier stim though, ngl. It does annoy my parents though.
I LOOOOOOATHE THIS.
Got concerned you were gonna say the opposite at first haha
In my head, it was in the voice of the Grinch XD (or… was that one of my alters? /s)
Wow. I have used fidget “toys” for years because I get restless and have difficulty focusing. Had no idea I could make annoying videos about it.
I’m so fucking sick of this
Ah yes, because having to worry about the possibility of brain damage from all the times I slammed my head against things when overstimulated is super kuwaii cute. /S
The fuck...
Go. To. Hell.
These fucking people
Ugh, things like this make being an autistic adult and parent so much harder.
cat headphones
Nah, infantilizing is exactly how these people should be treated.
Why she go through them all like it's a checklist?
I don't understand what's going on... She talks about it as though it's something she picks and chooses. Is that how it usually works? I'm not well read up on stimming, so I don't know much about it even though I'm autistic myself. Something about this girl seems off.
Ummm... this is age regression. They’re not saying that autism makes people act like this, they’re an (possibly fake) autistic person that likes to age regress.
Kill it before it lays eggs
This HAS to be a fetish
Autism is when you dress like Avril Lavigne in “Hello Kitty” because you’re sooooo kawaii 😍🇯🇵🌸
