Hi, it's not letting me respond to your comment up there. Thank you, I've always wondered what it was called. I've never been able to convey what it was I was doing or why, that helps so much. Thanks alot.

Does 'stimming' cover the repetitive nature of listening to the same piece of music or watching a TV programme or film over and over again?

@TheEurythmicsFan I would probably count that. But some people may not. Sometimes I will listen to the same song over and over agian while I'm swinging. For that reason I would count it.

@TheTayTalks What I mean is even non-aspies tell you that you're not going through this alone, but how can that give anyone solace? That usually depresses me further, hearing what a hardship everyone's else life is as well. With that being said, I didn't mean to detract from what you do. :)

@TheEurythmicsFan I'm sorrry that doesn't bring you any comfort. But we are all in the same boat, so at least we can help each other out.

@AspieBehaviour Symptoms are easier to understand and combat once you have a name for them. Unfortunately knowing I'm one of many experiencing the same syndrome doesn't bring me any comfort.

@jillmurrayvns Yes that does make sense. The more work a autistic world needs the more stimming is required. If you world is in a war, or building a new area it may take a toll on reality connections. Once those things pass it may become easier to stim less. When I was a young girl I wanted a calm world so my world has never been a extremly violent place, however I've heard the boy's worlds can be alot more violent. I can imagine how difficult it would be if things were not well in my world.

Thanks I understand my son (20) so much better now. You said aspies dont like talking about stimming - its too personal for them. I can relate, we are lucky you have been so brave in telling us. My son finished school & is withdrawing more into an internal world. He often tells us that the world will be different after the revolution - its his wish that the world could change - which would make it easier for him to live his internal world, externally. Does that make sense to you??
