http://fuckyeahstimming.tumblr.com/ is a tumblr that exists, because of course it does.
And yeah, looks like almost all of it is hand-flapping/clapping/fiddling, although someone on the second page says they pick at scabs. Not reading any further on than that though, it all looks like the same cuteifying of autism.
It just seems to me like "I have a habit. It must be a stim. Therefore I am autistic". Like people who self-diagnosed themselves because they did things like listen to the same song on repeat, which only autistic people ever do. Everyone wants to be autistic, because then they can complain about those "allistics" and generally be cute and special. Also, they don't have any personality flaws at all- it's all due to their autism/mental illness, so now they can be totally blameless and babied at all times. Being asked to change any bad things about themselves becomes ableist rather than reasonable.
Also lmao at "Can using your phone be a stim??"
Somebody out here just fucking eating their nails.
