Infodump about auditory stimming?

(current stem song in king of Spain by Moxy Früvous)

Stimming regulates sensory input & helps us to adapt to the often overwhelming sensory world around us. It's can be annoying, yes, but it should never be discouraged. Stimming is vital to us autistics.

Auditory stimming can take various forms, including singing, humming & repeating sounds or noises or listening to music.

It involves the use of the mouth, lips & vocal cords & ears.

Note: echolalia & palilalia count as verbal stimming.

This is because vocal stimming involves the use of sounds other than talking, whereas verbal stimming usually involves speech.

I have once infodumped about humming & how beneficial that is, you might want to read that as a treat. /g

I saw you wanted to be asked about autism, so what’s the first thing you remember that pointed to autism?

Mine was having meltdowns any time I was cold.

Hello! First of all, I wanted to say thank you for asking me about something autism-related! I did do a post on my page saying how I wanted to be asked about autistic things, however I didn’t really expect anyone to read it, and even if people did I didn’t expect to actually be asked anything 😅, so thank you for asking! It is appreciated.

The first thing I remember to kind of be an “autistic thing” (that is also non-violent, non-traumatizing, non-ableist, essentially, not a “bad” memory) is:

Once upon a time, when I was younger, my parents set up a tv-system in the minivan, where there were tvs strapped to the back of the head-rests, or strapped to that thing in the center of the middle-seated area that you can open up. Anyway, movies could be watched on the mini tvs and I was in charge of it. I even had a little “remote” and everything. I remember loving a song in the movie, “Oliver and Company”. The song was, “Why Should I Worry” by Billy Joel, but the song is not important/significant. The reason why I mention the song, however, is because I loved the song, and I think I stimmed to the song. Because it’s unusual to expect to finish an entire movie in a single car ride, I would have to skip ahead to where the movie left off, however I would usually never skip this song, because I enjoyed listening to it so much.

I think this was one of the first instances where I learned it was “socially acceptable” or “ok” to stim to music. To this day, I find myself being ok to stim to music by listening to stuff on repeat, or stim mostly through sound and auditory stuff. But yes I think this was an auditory stim moment for me, and thanks again for asking.

Anyone else stim by walking around and listening to music?

I really like mouthing the words if I’m listening to something that has lyrics. I also like doing conductor hand motions especially if I’m listening to instrumental.

Have been listening to Bad Idea by Girl In Red and Tell Me It’s Okay by Paramore for the last 4 hours.

Do you have any recommendations for auditory stim fidgets? I tried pens but they are too squeaky and other people find them annoying :(

I personally like these pop tubes but I'm not sure if they'd be any less annoying:

I like that you can wear them on your wrist :)

If anyone else has a fidget they like please put your recommendations in the tags or replies!
