Definitely being my authentic autistic self today. Skipping round the house and energetically hand waving (very jazz hand-like stimming) in excitement as today is the start of the UK cricket year (my favorite sport). As games go, for me, it is so full of stats, averages and other numeric delights, and in its long county form (it works via counties rather than towns), it lasts up to 4 days, and I can keep up for free on youtube.
I will go to a few games (the longer format games are quite calm and not loud or busy) but I have my hobby back, and something to chat about with people, which is nice too.
Happy good Friday to all
stimming
The stim/tic post I did earlier became an internet rabbit hole I fell down. Which became an overly long blog post.
The answer to "is this a stim or a tic?" seems to be "it's complicated." Which is both validating and annoying.
Post also includes: a list of my greatest vocal hits, MrsVark finding my weird noises comforting, and the understanding that "more symptoms" may actually just be "less masking."
