[gif description: A looping gif of me happy stimming by flapping my hands erratically on either side of my head. My eyes are closed and I am smiling]

An “”autism mom”“ once told me that stimming should be discouraged in autistic people, since “what is cute at 4 [years old] is not so cute at 24 [years old]”.

Well, I’m 24 and I stim, and I’m cute as heck.

If you stim, you are super cool and cute! Those are the rules!
