#and that's on harmful stimming

[i-am-megalodonna]

I'm sure the reason for DexterFella's hair being all spiky is to differentiate him from the regular Happy Fella doll and to use shape language to make him look more aggressive, but my headcanon in-universe reason why it's like that is twofold:

He's in the company of two energetic youngsters who spend the entire episode literally dragging him along on their escapades, and there's no way his hair would survive that unchanged for six months.

He pulls at his hair when he's frustrated or overwhelmed, which is most of the time. So if he hadn't been messed up by being tossed around he would've messed it up himself anyway.

Yes. Some autistics are violent. Some autistics self harm. Some have harmful stims. Some are dangerous to self n others. Some are mean.

No we’re not all kind in sweet. No autism isn’t always easy to deal with. But you know what? We still deserve respect n kindness n we still have feelings. Yes we can be dangerous, but there’s a reason behind that even if can’t explain. Yes we can harm ourselves but usually because need stim or don’t know how else deal with emotions. Yes some mean to others because generally don’t know what nice behavior looks like or don’t understand are being mean.

How can you look at me n say we don’t still deserve support? Sorry sometimes hard deal with hard take care of hard support hard be around. Genuinely understand is hard but no reason be rude.

Assume they can understand. Can understand hurting others. Understand other ways deal with emotions. Other ways to treat people. Ways to not put others in danger. Because so many times not that don’t understand, but no way show understand.

And even if they genuinely can’t understand, still deserve respect. Kindness love being treated like have feelings because do. No matter the diagnosis still have feelings n thoughts n deserve the same respect give to the able bodies neurotypical people. Or the people with diagnosis but not as severe or bad or unbearable be around

It really pisses me off how often public schools ban stim toys.

Almost everyone stims, it isnt just a neurodivergent thing. Neurotypicals and neurodivergents stim, neurodivergents just do it more and in more obvious ways.

Personally, I need to stim with something physical nearly always. Sure, I stim by rocking, flapping, etc. but most of the time I need something in my hands or my brain blocks everything out and I eventually cry because of how icky I feel. If I can't write a damn tumblr post without taking a break every 15 seconds to fiddle with a tangle or my hoodie strings while I hum noises relating to every word I've already typed just so I can write another sentence, I sure as hell can't sit and listen to an hour of information on something I don't even care about without a stim toy/tool.

This is why I hate the fidget trend so much. Yes, it makes stim toys more available, but it also gets them banned in schools because someone who doesn't even benifit from them cant stop being distracted by them. And then suddenly, everyone "must be distracted by them".

Back when I was still in public school, I used this sensory braclet a lot (I still have it, but I care more about fashion nowadays than I did back then, and it doesnt match with anything, plus it barely helps anymore, so I dont really use it.) that was very clearly a sensory thing. It's orange with silicone prickles all over it. It wasn't a distraction. It was just something I ran my fingers over in class. Well, suddenly its being taken away and nobody will tell me why. Anyone want to guess what happened? Yeah. I had a panic attack a few minutes later (I dont expect much else from that teacher to be honest. One time she threw away my art project because I folded it wrong even though it's been known and on my file since about 1st grade that I have motor issues. And no, she didn't let me retry. I just had to sit there, made to feel terrible because I FOLDED SOMETHING WRONG!).

Think sometimes people forget stims not all good.

Sometimes hand flapping and rocking and stimming is problem. Sometimes do need to be stoped

Sometimes rocking includes hitting head on wall which turn into head banging for stim. Sometimes hand flapping turns into hitting wether self or others.

Sometimes using fidget turns into throwing and using to hit others.

In a way, when think of stims only want admit good ones. So when people say stims are harmful get hate and told wrong and to just shut up. But stims not only good.

Stimming can be nice and happy. But stims also include those that hurt self and others. The ones that are painful and dangerous and need intervention.

I rock and hand flap and spin to be happy. But I also head bang and hair pull and pinch and hit in attempt to stim.

Please don’t forget the harmful bad stims when talking about them. Not all good helpful no need stop
