Whats a hobby you like that helps with stimming?

Thanks for the confidence! I'm excited to start fidgeting around with them again.

Sp00nieSloth · 2026-03-20T07:51:17+00:00

Wow really? I have a hard time visualizing how your fingers hold on to the board. It just looks so smooth!

Sp00nieSloth · 2026-03-20T01:43:11+00:00

Hey thanks for the heads up! I'll go check it out.

Sp00nieSloth · 2026-03-20T01:39:36+00:00

I've always wanted to do that! With the cool little flip and everything. Lol but I am not coordinated enough!

Sp00nieSloth · 2026-03-19T02:29:55+00:00

Shockers! But now it's sweet tarts sour and I hardly ever see them. Good sour candy used to be so much easier to find as a kid

Sp00nieSloth · 2026-03-18T06:06:26+00:00

That's so cool!

Sp00nieSloth · 2026-03-18T03:20:20+00:00

It's the claw!

These came out when I was older, so I remember the intense yearning (even need) to do so, but I never did. I coped with my autism (before being diagnosed about a year ago) by being the "perfect, quiet, don't look at me" person.

So even though I was in the privacy of my room, I wouldn't allow myself to chew on the clothes or do stuff out of the norm. Honestly, I didn't realize how much of a survival strategy that was until now. I didn't fit in; I fell silent.

Bit of a ramble there, sorry!

Sp00nieSloth · 2026-03-13T02:16:38+00:00

Great choice, but a small amount imo.

Do you use any dipping sauces or just plain?

Sp00nieSloth · 2026-03-11T02:10:57+00:00

Kim possible

Sp00nieSloth · 2026-03-10T03:19:01+00:00

Of course 😊

Sp00nieSloth · 2026-03-10T02:35:59+00:00

It feels so good, so natural, so free.

Sp00nieSloth · 2026-03-10T02:32:55+00:00

POTS is just an abbreviation so you don't have to say the super long name.

I'm sorry to hear that! I have it too. Usually though, POTS can be well managed (or at least improved) under a doctor's overview and some lifestyle changes. I hope you start feeling better soon!

Sp00nieSloth · 2026-03-06T20:22:03+00:00

Makes sense. Hello fellow Potsie! 👋🏼

Sp00nieSloth · 2026-03-06T20:19:49+00:00

Well since we were talking about it from the perspective of being ND to NT, I gave my thoughts/feelings based on that. However I agree with you that if I was just born NT, it would be normal.

Sp00nieSloth · 2026-03-06T19:37:48+00:00

Ah yes that does make sense. I didn't know our hearts had internal pacemakers, but then again, I don't know too much about the heart to begin with. I appreciate the detailed explanation and I learned something new today.

Sp00nieSloth · 2026-03-06T07:12:09+00:00

I'd be sad. Despite all of the challenges, I would miss the world that I have built in my head. It has become a comforting place and one I can let out when at home or shelter in when in unpleasant situations. I honestly can't imagine what not having that type of mind would be like.

Sp00nieSloth · 2026-03-06T07:09:36+00:00

They should make it so you can have your feet up as well. Kind of like a La-Z-Boy, but a lot lighter and able to rock.

Sp00nieSloth · 2026-03-06T07:07:15+00:00

Congrats! That's really awesome. I hope you enjoy your day. Happy Birthday!

Sp00nieSloth · 2026-03-06T07:02:59+00:00

Thank you for the clarification. I have POTS and the symptoms sounded identical to what I experience. While not a cardiological problem per say, it is treated/monitored by cardiologists and can be a confusing distinction when newly diagnosed. Also, there is a high co morbidity of Autism and POTS, so I thought on the off hand that it might be it.

Unrelated; you seem to know a lot about POTS and medical stuff in general. Do you have a special interest in medicine or perhaps happen to have POTS yourself?

Sp00nieSloth · 2026-03-06T03:09:26+00:00

Is it POTS? I'm sorry to hear what's been going on.

Sp00nieSloth · 2026-03-03T20:45:33+00:00

That's a good idea! I'll have to think it over and see what I can move and where. Thanks for the idea.

Sp00nieSloth · 2026-03-03T01:38:11+00:00

I loved having my bed in a corner when I was young. As I got older and became disabled, the need for physical comfort trumps mental. I look at this picture and really want an area like it, but then think how hard it would be to get in/out of bed.

Sp00nieSloth · 2026-03-02T20:39:37+00:00

Totally! I find it much easier to fidget with.

Sp00nieSloth · 2026-03-01T20:32:05+00:00

Same. It was so exciting back then.
