I was embarrassed of this and hid it for years. I feel music very deeply and move my arms in sometimes erratic ways when I'm really feeling it. But, there's power in letting us be our true selves and giving our minds and bodies what they need. 💙 I get the urge to stim a lot when listening to @AURORA Importantly, I said "CAN." Dancing/arm waving/feeling music is not inherently autistic, but autistic people CAN stim this way. I don't always do full body movement (although it feels great), mostly my stimming happens while sitting in a chair and my eyes are closed and I go into a trance-like state waving my arms to the music. Autism is a collection of symptoms, not just one thing. I was diagnosed based on a collection of symptoms that pointed to autism, such as low processing speed. #autistic #autism

Feel what you need to feel. Get angry. Don't let them take that from you. Also side note, this is one of the ways in which I stim with my autism, I feel music very deeply. This is the first time I've shared it publicly.
