#stimming on a budget

[cutiepieautistic]

Stimming on a budget:

Cut up straws(especially ones in fun colors!) And string or cord can be used to create fidgets similar to pony bead rollers,and so can wooden beads!

You can use nuts and bolts and other metal parts from hardware stores can be used to make metal fidgets!

You can make worry stones out of play doughs,simply just form them into your desired shapes and let them dry to create your worry stones!

You can use leftover fabric scraps,cheap vase fillers or lentils and other small,dry food stuffs or marbles or pony beads/wooden beads to create beanbags!

You can use pipe cleaners and various cheap,large hole beads to create sliding fidgets or tangle-like fidgets!

You can use binder clips or cheap floral wires and cheap beads to create rolling bead fidgets,or use pop tabs and other large hole objects instead!

You can use things from nature to stim,such as stones or acorns!

Use hair gel or various small,nonsharp objects to fill up a zip lock bag. Duct tape it shut,and presto you now have a fidget bag!

You can use small strongly scented objects to fill up a small jar,bottle or tule bag to carry with you. You can use it for olfactory stimming on the go!

You can use cheap scented oils dollar stores/discount stores to scent beanbags,small glass bottles/worry stones etc etc.

You can buy baby teether at discount stores for a cheaper alternative to high price name brand chewy toys!

Certain dollar stores sell chewy silicone beads,and baby teether and silicone straws.

You can use rice,lentils,legumes,other dry food stuffs,acorns,rocks,small metal objects and rocks or other objects that make sounds to fill up a large hole bottle to use for auditory stimming!

Cheap candles make for good olfactory stimming toys,and you can watch them as their wicks burn down for extra visual stimming!

You can use soft,squishy car sponges for squishing,or rubbing against your skin and picking at!

You can use rice,or other small non sharp weighted things to fill up a kid's bath cloth,then sew it up tightly for a weighted stim toy! Add scents with the aformentied scented oils from a discount store or dollar store,or add dried flowers from outside for an even cheaper scent option!

You can use pony beads,duct tape,and flexible plastic woven tubes(you can find these sold as cat toys,even or as party supplies at a dollar store!) To create your own marble meshes/boinks!

You can use clear glue from the dollar store,and a little bit of baking soda melted into hot water to make slime! You can use small containers at the dollar store to store your slime. You can also find scented orbeez or regular orbeez and slime or putties(and so many other stim toys!)at certain dollar stores!

You can silly putty at the dollar store,and use buttons,pony beads or other small non sticky/dirty objects to create your own therapy putty! You can dig those small objects out of the putty to strengthen your motor skills!

Cheese wax can be used similar to putty once you warm it up in your hands! (Just be sure not to play with it so long that it completely melts on your hands!)

Plants and other natural things can be used to stim in multiple ways!

You can use safety pins+ sead beads and other beads with large enough holes to fit onto the needle,and slide all of the beads that fit onto it and close it,to create a spinning bead fidget!

You can use strings of beads from craft store bargian bins for stimming!

You can pick apart felt sheets!

if you fill up plastic or metal containers with small objects that make lots of sounds,then you can use that as an auditory stimming toy!

Shower gel and gel like body washes from discount stores/dollar stores can be used similar to slime! You can also use corn starch and water to create oobleck!

Feel free to add on your own suggestions!

Rick and Morty if Autism Speaks and Autism Moms focus-grouped it to death:

Rick: Everyone, I have a terrible confession to make. Summer [scrolling through her phone]: Sure, Grandpa Rick. How many planets did you blow up today? Rick: No, Summer, it's much worse than that. I... [sighs and sticks his hands in his pockets] I just got back from the doctor's office. I...I have autism. [The entire family gasps in shock. Summer drops her phone. Morty's hands fly to his mouth.] Beth: No! Rick! Why didn't you ever tell us? Rick: I didn't know, sweetie. Bird Person noticed that I'd been flapping my hands a lot and said, "Mubba rubba nub nub," which means, "I'm going to give you a referral for an autism diagnosis." I just got back from the clinic. I'll be honest with you--when the word "autism" came out of the doctor's mouth, I couldn't decide if I wanted to hide the truth from you or crash my ship directly into the building, killing me instantly. [Jerry stares at him. Summer starts sobbing. Beth glances at Morty with horror and disbelief.] Beth: But--what about Morty? He flaps his hands sometimes, too. Do you think that--maybe--oh God, I don't even want to say it-- Rick [looking at her sadly]: I don't know, sweetie. Autism is a genetic disease, and it's not looking good. Morty: No! NO! Why, Rick? This is the worst thing you've ever done! Rick: I'm sorry, buddy. I wish I could go back in time and delete the autism from my genes. Summer [sobbing]: You've ruined our family! I always knew I was the one normal child, and now you've just confirmed it! Beth: I'm sorry, Morty, but I won't be able to look at you the same way again. I knew there was a reason I favored Summer all these years. And Rick, well--I don't know if you can keep living here. Our budget is already tight without you spending $500 a month on math textbooks and model train sets. Jerry: Wait, hang on. If I can get meta here for a second--doesn't Dan Harmon play Bird Person? And isn't he, you know...in that way? Rick: Autistic? [Beth and Summer gasp at the sound of the word.] I don't know, let me check. [He opens a portal and disappears, then returns a few seconds later, his eyes heavy with sadness.] Yes. Dan Harmon is autistic, which means...Bird Person is autistic, too. I'm sorry. [The entire room is silent.] Beth: Well...at least you'll be able to get together now. I know you autistics can't date normal people. Summer: Autistics can't date anyone, period. Sorry, Morty, but I guess Jessica and Bruce Chutback both dodged a bullet. [Morty bursts into tears. Beth rubs his shoulder.] Beth: It's okay, honey. Look at it this way--you'll be able to go on lots of adventures with Grandpa since we have to separate both of you from the general population. Jerry: And "different" doesn't mean "worse." I mean, in this case, it absolutely does, but it doesn't mean that in other contexts. Morty: I'm sorry that I'm burdening everyone. [glances up] Hey, um, Rick--maybe you can find a cure, right? [smiles weakly] Some planet out there must've found a cure for autism by now, right? Rick [forces a smile]: You've got it, buddy. I'm sure there's a universe out there that's...found a cure for this tragic disease. [Everyone looks silently down at the table. Morty stands up.] Morty: I'm going to sit in my room for a while. Let me know when you've decided if you're going to keep me or put me up for adoption. Beth: We'll let you know, honey. [Morty walks upstairs. The rest of the family turns to Rick, who sighs.] Rick: Well...I guess I'll go to the garage. The noise-cancelling walls will protect you from the sounds of my incessant stimming and hand-flapping. I know you don't want me back in the house, so you can turn my room into extra storage space. Jerry can even turn it into a man cave if he wants. I don't care if he does. I don't care about anything anymore. Summer: Neither do we, Rick. Neither do we... [Rick walks into the garage and sits quietly on the stool. After a few minutes of silence, he hesitates, then reaches inside his coat and applies a sticker to his ship. The camera zooms in to reveal a puzzle piece that reads Autistics On Board.]

[pjsk-hot-takes]

I think as an autistic person the idea of autistic Rui isn’t like. Inherently Bad or anything. I think there’s other characters that have more stuff supporting it (Kanade, Nene, Kohane) but it’s not like inherently a bad headcanon or interpretation

but the way people *handle* it is….. weird……

Like it’s used a lot as a justification for his behavior. Which like I’ve BEEN ostracized for being autistic so I know what it feels like. And I don’t think he deserves to be ostracized. But why are we acting like him literally using bombs on school campus with absolutely zero qualifications is a normal thing that needs to be defended.

Like that’s still extremely dangerous to the other students and just completely disregarding of other peoples safety. I don’t care how much Rui claims he “has it under control” he’s a teenager!!!! He doesn’t have a degree in pyrotechnics!!!!! He should not be doing that especially not at a public school where people could get hurt!!!!

And like if for whatever reason he genuinely needed to do something with explosions. Like if it’s a stim or a special interest or whatever. There’s a lot of safer alternatives you could try?

stim boards are a thing! Video games are a thing! Fanfic is a thing! If it’s the science process of it I’m sure you can simulate something similar in real life that is far safer. I’m sure if he has a psychologist they could help come up with other options. Literally if he needs to do these dangerous stunts there are safe!!! Alternatives!!!!! It doesn’t need to be the real thing!

Also, like, if it does need to be the real thing - one, keep it to shows maybe??? Where everyone is consenting??? Two, there are actual pyro technicians that you can hire for that exact purpose. Rui has no reason to mess with dangerous explosives unless it’s for budget reasons which like I THINK omitting real explosions or going for a safer alternative that mimics explosions is a better idea than messing with dangerous ones and having little to no clue what you’re doing. Sure maybe Rui has read up on it but he’s still a teenager and still isn’t a professional and shouldn’t be trusted with dangerous equipment that could hurt others in public.

Rui doing this type of stuff around Tsukasa and himself is one thing, because at least they’re consenting, but in public is a whole different story.

I feel like the fandom babies and infantilizes Rui. Like “oh noooo he’s just autistic it’s not his fault he puts people in mortal danger :((((( look at him!!! He’s so sweet!!!!!” I just. I don’t like it. I think autistic people SHOULD be allowed to point out the ableist undertones here without like, being shot down.

And yeah it’s true some autistic people might not know when they’re doing things wrong, but that’s still not a justification to defend his right to put people in mortal danger??????

Like, if Rui doesn’t understand that, he still. Shouldn’t be doing it. Like he should still be given safer alternatives that could maybe work instead and be safer for everybody involved. Not given free rein to cause as much damage as he wants that’s. Idk I don’t like that and I don’t like how much people fervently defend it.

Giving him alternatives isn’t, like, a Bad Thing. He can engage with dangerous stunts in safer ways or at least do it in a way that doesn’t endanger other non-consenting people.

And also, like, Rui and other characters doing this type of stuff for the sake of comedy isn’t actually a bad thing imo I still think it can be funny so I’m not saying it should be erased or toned down in the actual story. I just think people trying to defend it from a moral stand point is weird. Like you can acknowledge it’s not. A good thing to do in real life???? And maybe not glorify it????? And still enjoy/find it funny in the story like it’s just a comedy thing.

Maybe this doesn’t make sense I’m tired but. Idk I don’t like how people treat Rui being autistic as a justification for anything he does wrong ever. It feels infantilizing.

Sonic 3 Spoiler Post Wheyyyyy

I’m gonna talk about literally everything so if you still haven’t seen the movie then scroll away, I will be adding images a week after this post goes up as well so yeah. This is NOT going to be well thought out at all it’s just going to be a ramble fest because why not shejsjjejejs

The fact that they made Live And Learn a song Maria wrote gives it SO much more meaning and a reason for the song to be included in the movie (besides fanservice lmao), a story line centred around the process of grief culminating with a grandiose reprise of a song made by the person one of the characters is grieving? CINEMA

The third act was incredible of course but god I wish they stopped going back and forth with the Robotnik stuff, the switch ups between the immaculate fight choreography and the slapstick bullshit really began to run its course and I was just waiting for peak to start again

Speaking of those fight scenes OH MY GOD THE FIGHT CHOREOGRAPHY IS SOME OF THE BEST THIS SERIES HAS EVER HAD IT WAS ON SOME DRAGON BALL TYPE SHIT. When Super Sonic and Super Shadow were beating the everloving fuck out of each other in different countries I was stimming like crazy

Knuckles is the unsung MVP of this movie and I’m so happy they got to show his character development in a really natural way, he’s really become a big brother figure for the other two and the way he tried to talk Sonic down after Tom almost died really got to me he’s come so far 🥹

When the trailer fakeout shot came up I was LOSING IT 😭

Also I want to know what the cinematographer was smoking because some of the shots in this thing are BEAUTIFUL, especially the ones in space (when Sonic and Shadow enter their super forms and go around like blazing comets I was going crazy)

The colour grading is a huge step up from the last two movies as well, you can tell the budget went up because the models here are stunning (especially Shadow’s)

I wish Live And Learn got to play a little longer but I’m just happy they included it either way (when the vocals came in so did I)

Agent Stone continues to be one of my favourite human characters in the entire series, I honestly wouldn’t mind them adding him to the games because his dynamic with Eggman is way better than whatever Orbot and Cubot have going on

They definitely listened to the critiques for the second movie as well because the human stuff has been very toned down and I honestly think it’s for the better (and this is coming from someone who actually really likes Rachel idk man she’s just fun)

I’m pretty satisfied with how they handled Gerald outside of the usual Jim Carrey shenanigans, portraying him as a madman so consumed by grief that he’s completely willing to let Earth and himself die out of pure spite was crazy, I saw someone say that this is how he’d act if he didn’t get executed 50 years ago and I can see that pretty clearly. I loved the glimpses of humanity we get of him as well (the way he referred to both Maria AND Shadow as “kids” in the flashback made me feel like he genuinely did care for him at that point and the death of Maria just threw him off the deep end)

The scene of Shadow and Gerald finding Maria’s body was DEVASTATING, the way Shadow didn’t know if she was dead at first and all it took was to see how heartbroken Gerald was to figure it out killed me 😔

Speaking of which they actually did a rewrite for Shadow’s backstory while keeping a lot of the same elements and I’m pretty happy with it for the most part, him coming to earth in a comet is black arms foreshadowing 100% and the flashbacks of him and Maria just hanging out and having fun like normal kids was really nice (the inclusion of the biolizard being the monster in the movie they were watching was really cool too I didn’t even notice that at first until someone pointed it out)

Despite these changes he was handled SO well, Keanu did a great job voicing him and to hear that he actually wanted to play the character made me so happy, it’s almost like getting people who give a shit about the source material is a really important factor of making adaptations succeed idk

The reason why Maria’s around though is kind of weak? She isn’t ill in this version and the only reason she’s in the lab is because Gerald takes her everywhere? That’s it? Why couldn’t they have said that he adopted her or something? (Or maybe her parents had an incurable illness that Gerald tried and failed to help with so he took her in after the fact idk)

Ben Schwartz popped OFF in the third act god I love it watching whimsical characters completely losing their shit after they’ve been pushed too far

The fact that the iconic “announcement” was changed to a tragic yaoi send off is beautiful, I hope Agent Stone comes back in future movies his dynamic with Tails was really cute

Pansexual Eggman is now canon we are so back

Loved the brief snippet of E.G.G.M.A.N, it played for five seconds but I was stimming anyway

The soundtrack is also a huge step up from the first two movies as well (also Throw It All Away is one of the song titles holy shit)

The post credits scene was PEAK I love Metal Sonic and Amy’s designs so much, Im really interested to see if it’ll be a loose adaptation of Sonic CD or it’ll be its own thing (maybe Amy and Metal are originally from the games’ bad timeline and that’s how Silver shows up later? I’m not sure, I just want Silver fans to get SOMETHING they’ve been fucking starving bro I feel bad for them 😭)

ID:

1. Things I struggle as a level 3 nonspeaking autistic (high support needs)

2. Level 3 autism comes with requiring very substantial supports. Like needing a caregiver to complete most or all ADLs, IADLs, and BADLs. ADLs for me would be I need my caregiver to complete tasks for me like basic human needs. (I.e) Bathing, feeding, dressing, and bathroom needs. My caregivers also completes all IADLs such as shopping, cooking, budgeting, paying bills, and making all doctor, PT appointments and therapy appointments.

3. I also struggle due to my disability being very obvious or visible, people still get impatient with me because i dont understand social cues at all, and often misinterpret them, i don’t get many figurative speech phrases. Or knowing when it’s my turn to communicate back on my AAC. Due to my autism being very visible most people scoff at me in public when they see me stimming, it is sometimes better when they choose to smile at me instead. I appreciate those people for trying.

4. Meltdowns are horrendous for me, not having any control over my body and it just acts against me, brain body disconnect is the real struggle. I throw things, i hit, and SH stim, I break objects and hurt others at times. And I feel absolutely awful afterwards. I just hate the mess and havoc I cause. It truly depresses me how much my body lashes out. It feels like an underwater volcano erupting, but causes aftershocks and creates tsunami’s. Sensory overload robs me of bodily autonomy and assaults me in all ways that I never consented to. As brutal as it can put it.

5. And lastly as a full nonspeaker I by default struggle and face more mistreatment, abuse, and misunderstanding from NT, Allistics, and other ND, and speaking Autistics alike. Which is a frustrating nightmare in itself. People can talk over my AAC voice, or completely disregard it. I've even had a case worker tell me that I was speaking over them before, when i was merely preparing what my next response was that helps me save time and spoons before I am to hit enter to say it. It will frustrate any nonspeaker or AAC user who cannot rely on speech to be understood. AAC tablet can drain battery, and you don't always have a wall charger accessible to recharge it. It can break, be broken from meltdowns, and get liquid spilt on it too. And AAC apps and Ipad replacements are very costly.

If you're not careful and you no-clip out of reality in the wrong areas, you'll end up in the Backrooms, where it's nothing but the stink of old moist carpet, the madness of mono-yellow, the endless background noise of fluorescent lights at maximum hum-buzz, and approximately six hundred million square miles of randomly segmented empty rooms to be trapped in.

God save you if you hear something wandering around nearby, because it sure as hell has heard you.

DAY 263 - BACKROOMS (Click for better quality)

Thank you so much for the suggestion! WHOoh boy I got a lot to say about this; I stimmed and zoomied around my room until my muscles were sore just from reading what this suggestion actually was, I was that excited. Do I like the Backrooms? Yes.

Do I LOVE the concept and original post (which is this suggestion and that’s amazing) like how a Marble Hornets fan will love their series but hate modern adaptations of Slenderman in high-budget movies that don’t encapsulate the Slenderman’s idea as well as a group of guys doing something for fun based on a random thread they saw one day with nothing but scraps of a budget in mind? Even more so. Do I hate how the Backrooms became mainstream and people answered the question of ‘what’ is in its halls (Hint: You shouldn’t do that in psychological/cosmic horror, it ruins the horror factor)? Absolutely.

I understand wanting to ‘figure out the lore’ of a concept or add your own, but somethings really shouldn’t be fully answered, like, y’know, the Backrooms? I think Kane pulled it off pretty well, but a majority of other spin-offs just subjectively objectify the Backrooms into a maze-like deguon crawler with ‘spooky’ bad guys. Like, THATS NOT THE POINT OF THE BACKROOMS! Because of my time in the Phandom and the analog horror scene, I’ve gotten a pretty good idea of cosmic/psychological/supernatural horror and the Backrooms has some of the best potential for it that I’ve ever seen! I just hate how most people interpret it for the worst and in my opinion, ruin the Backrooms.

So I thank you anon, for using the original posts small lore drop as the suggestion used, and not just ‘level 192 of the BACKROOMS, The Forest Of Night’ or some crap like that.

(I also apologize for the rant, this is one of the opinions in my life that I feel strongest about, and I usually don’t have an audience to talk about it to.)

more random Wizzy headcanons 🪄

Malistaire and Sylvia were both bisexual

Arthur Wethersfield has depression. He tries really hard to hide his episodes from his students and coworkers but doesn’t always do a good job. When he’s really struggling, Moolinda Wu steps in to support him and help him out; the two of them are close in general.

Grandfather Spider is really good at textile weaving (b. because. he’s a spider-)

Fire and Ice wizards are typically chill with each other. Life and Death wizards are very close-knit. With Myth and Storm wizards, it’s on sight

Wizard City is governed by a City Council, of which Merle Ambrose is the head. They’re in charge of the city’s budget and community resources. They’re also responsible for hosting community events, posting community bulletins, and decorating the city around the holidays

The Life classroom is home to Ravenwood’s infirmary

In general, most of the worlds we visit are a lot bigger in-universe than what we see in-game.

Classes at Ravenwood are divided by skill level rather than age. A typical graduating class will have students who are mostly around the same age with a handful of outliers in the form of young prodigies and older late bloomers

After the events of Arc 2, Ravenwood begins incorporating Astral magic into its curriculum for more advanced students

Between Spider and Raven, Spider was the one who fell in love first

Spider loves children because they’re little balls of chaos incarnate and he often finds them easier to relate to than grown-ups

Sylvia Drake was short, fat, and muscular. She could easily pick up Malistaire’s significantly taller but significantly bonier ass and throw him over her shoulders in a fireman’s carry

The Black Hole was essentially the magical equivalent of a sensory deprivation tank (listen, Peepaw had a damn good reason to be pissed when he finally got out of there-)

Necromancers tend to develop morbid senses of humor as they advance in their studies

Life wizards also tend to enjoy dark humor. This comes as a surprise only to those who foolishly believe in the stereotype of the pure, innocent cinnamon roll Theurgist, when in reality all Life wizards are at least a little bit unhinged and some are outright feral

Magically induced injuries and illnesses can be healed with magic, but naturally induced ones cannot

Lydia Greyrose is a lesbian and was The Dyke™️ in her youth. Nowadays she's a sweet elder lesbian who bakes cookies and knits elaborate scarves for the younger generations of Wizard City rainbows

Speaking of Greyrose, she gives the hardest tests EVER. Exams roll around and Thaumaturgy majors just spend a solid two to three months crying nonstop /hj

Morganthe is a disaster lesbian. She sees one (1) pretty girl and immediately becomes too gay to function

Morganthe is also fantastically autistic. Her most beloved, most enduring special interest is magic; she often stims by twirling her hair around her finger; she misses obvious social cues and tends to interrupt others when they're speaking because she's so excited to share her ideas that she doesn't realize she's being rude; her difficulty in learning Astral magic was due to sensory overload, with the Astral magics having an "icky" feeling that made it extremely difficult for her to handle without having a meltdown

Arthur Wethersfield and Harold Argleston like to get together over tea and scones and bitch about the state of the Marleybonian monarchy (to wit: Queen Vicorgia is a fucking colonizer and Arthur & Harold do not approve)

In-universe, the original Council of Light consisted of Headmaster Ambrose, Queen Elissa, and no one else the player is familiar with. Diego, Professor Greyrose, and Emperor Yoshihito are members of its modern-day incarnation

Beans is dating Pork who is dating Khan. Pork has two hands

The creatures summoned by wizards' spells are not actual, living, sentient creatures; they are non-sentient constructs that ape the conventional forms of magical creatures

Innately magical people/creatures don't rely on Summon Magic the way learned wizards do; their magic manifests much more spontaneously and is typically a lot more versatile

Hi! I see ur requests are open, so if u feel like writing some OG roach x GN!reader HCs for what they might do together on Valentine’s Day or their anniversary to celebrate I’d eat that shit up, there fr ain’t enough roach content 🙏 please — 🍄

Aight sure

Gary "Roach" Sanderson x GN!reader

Bug's Date Night

Btw send me more Roach pics, i can't keep using the same damn pictures

Your boyfriend promised he'll be home for your anniversary and well...he came home with some led in him but honestly, what did you expect?

You're his first partner, he doesn't know shit about dating or however this is supposed to work besides some stuff he's seen from movies, he's inexperienced and confused.

You two made a deal, Roach didn't really care where the date takes place but some simple rules were set in place, inexpensive, not full, and you're the one socializing.

He honestly just planned on taking you somewhere quiet like a park to star gaze but he wanted something special and he isn't sure what places you like.

Restaurant maybe? No, too boring...movies? No, too full...museum? Well he likes it but what if you find it boring? He's overthinking everything that is until you interrupt his thinking session. Mall and buy each other gifts. The budget was anything below 100 pounds.

And that's exactly what you two did. Roach is pretty competitive so making it a game sounds fitting enough.

You two split up and in an hour, you already have your gifts

Roach bought you some hair pins, even if you're not fem, you can clip it onto your tie or book. It was shaped like those bug brooches. Gold in colour with yellow (probably fake) stones. He wanted to have something on you that reminded you of him and so, something bug related was a pretty obvious choice.

You bought him a small notebook, the paper was water resistant so he could use it even in missions. The pen that came with the book was pressurized and so, can be used everywhere. You knew that he had trouble communicating with others, mainly because not everyone could understand sign language

His reaction? Oh absolutely adorable, Roach was clapping his hands which you learned from Soap, was his "happy stim" he was smiling and running his hand through the paper, seems like the texture made him happy too.

"You did this...for me? Its amazing!" He wrote down in his new book. And you nodded

The day was ending and Roach had an idea, you two went to the park. Away from the city, quiet, private, it's what you two enjoyed. "If there was a shooting star flying across the sky right now, what would you wish for?" You asked

"That i'll always come home to see you smiling for me"
