H stims…
I stim too…
bounce and wiggle
twist a lock
hold tight to that ‘calming rock’
fiddle and fold
squint and spin
squeeze
and then begin again
shoes too big so toes can move
wiggly legs that find their groove
Tom Sawyer pockets with fidgets galore
quiet hands are such a bore

I could write more about this… but I think this visual pretty much sums it up for me right now. Additionally, there are already some amazing posts that say what I would like to say or consider… so I am linking them up here:
Socially Inappropriate by Musings of an Aspie
Things my autistic kids love: Public transit by Small But Kinda Mighty
Way-To-Stim Wednesday: Video Series by Anabelle Listic
Stimming by Outrunning the Storm
Enjoy!!
