Ode to the Stim

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!!
