STIMMING
TODAY'S POST WILL BE ABOUT STIMMING. I LIKE TO FLAP MY HANDS AND CLAP MY HANDS WHEN I AM EXCITED AND I DON'T LIKE IT. MY HAND MOTIONS MAKE ME STAND OUT AND PEOPLE STARE AT ME LIKE I AM A ALIEN. MY VOCAL STIMS ARE THE WORSE. I CAN'T HELP THE VOLUME. IT JUST COMES OUT AND THEN I FEEL STUPID AFTERWARDS. IT IS LIKE BREATHING, IT IS AUTOMATIC. I AM AWKWARD AND I HATE IT. DON'T PEOPLE REALIZE THEY MAKE OTHER PEOPLE FEEL LESS OF A HUMAN WHEN THEY GAWK AT THEM, DON'T YOU THINK PEOPLE SHOULD TREAT OTHERS WITH RESPECT AND WITH MATURITY TOWARDS OTHERS? I FEEL SORRY FOR THOSE PEOPLE. GOD HAVE MERCY ON THEIR SOULS. I WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO EMBRACE THE FLAPS. TO HAVE ACCEPTANCE AND LOVE FOR THE FLAPS. AS FAR AS THE VOCAL STIMS, JUST REMIND US TO LOWER OUR VOICES AND DON'T MAKE A BIG DEAL ABOUT IT. WE ALREADY FEEL BAD ABOUT IT AND DON'T NEED TO FEEL WORSE. IT WILL MAKE US FEEL LESS AWKWARD. I FEEL THAT IF I CAN GIVE SOME INSIGHT INTO AUTISM THAT THERE WILL BE MORE ACCEPTANCE. I AM THE BEST RESOURCE FOR AUTISM BECAUSE I LIVE WITH IT EVERYDAY.

Hi Braydon, I like your blog a lot. You and Fox are teaching me a lot about Autism and I enjoy both of your stories very much. Keep up the good work and clap on.
