Re: Yay!

Well, if anything, she'd probably make a few odd squealing noises and flap her arms when she gets excited or when she's upset she'll rock herself and hum monotonously because some autistics enjoy the vibrations it makes. It has a calming affect. I used to hum along with my fan and found it was very soothing. XD

The squealing noises I make are more like an "eeeeeeeee" or something. They tend to be pretty high-pitched at times. I just want people to see the lighter side of autism and that all these things we do are normal for us. Some people think it's bad because we act this way. But like music, reading or even knitting (etc) calms other people, stimming is our way of coping.

Some autistics do use it for communicating since if they are non-verbal, it's like a special language that only we can understand. Hold on, let me find an example of a girl named Amanda. She's a good example.

Here's an example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnylM1hI2jc Sometimes it can be whole different language we use when we can't speak. Most people don't know this. (The video is 8 minutes of her humming in what is to be considered as her special language. Somewhere through the video, she uses her communication device to tell you what she was saying.)

However, I am very verbal so I don't have to worry about stimming a lot. For me, since I have ADHD too, I can fidget or move my feet around or rock and it would calm me.

I might try using some animal noises, since I do this too. Since she likes animals, it would make sense for her to make their sounds. Such as maybe making sounds a cat would make or a dog. But she's able to communicate so if anything, these sounds would be more comforting and calming to her than used in actual communication.

also, I'm actually working on a special christmas project with my favorite pairing from KH2/358/2 days. :3 They are so adorable. It's a boy x boy couple but it will be sort of fluffy and cute. XD I've been writing down EVERY idea I get on this but haven't really put much thought into my plot since I need help with more ideas. I will post what ideas I have later though.
