This is hard. x_x

 I want to fit in the sounds that an autistic person makes. Some of them tend to make odd noises. I make them at home in my room when I get excited. I want to be able to explain them in a way that the makes the reader able to understand. The problem is that most of these noises are really complicated and harder to understand. 

I don't know, I may not. I mean, right now i need to figure out the plot for the fanfiction project I told you guys about. I haven't really had much progress since I met a new friend and plus, other things.So yeah... so many constant distractions. Honestly, I hate having ADHD and autism at the same time. I've gotten so used to taking my concerta that i don't want to do anything with it. I guess I could get a higher dose but... my insurance sucks... they mess things up and... ugh.

I think half the problem is that I get distracted by routine and emotional reasons. It's not that I'm distracted for the sake of ADHD. That's the trouble with having both. =.= But yeah... it's time I worked on my project.

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.

I strongly suspect that's the origin of "squee" that has entered common usage in recent years.

>>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.<<

That's a great idea.

>>Sometimes it can be whole different language we use when we can't speak.<<

Fascinating! I have a much wider concept of "language" than most humans do.

>>Since she likes animals, it would make sense for her to make their sounds.<<

Good idea.

>>But she's able to communicate so if anything, these sounds would be more comforting and calming to her than used in actual communication.<<

Or when the best way to say something is not in English. My ordinary vocabulary contains a fair sprinkling of words from foreign languages, words from invented languages, useful linguistic noises, animal sounds, etc. It's one thing to speak a foreign language when you're with somebody for whom it's native -- I'm able to carry on a conversation with dogs or wolves, for instance -- and another to drop foreign words into your own language, but most people who speak multiple languages will codeswitch between them at least occasionally. Works the same if they're not all human languages.

Well, i want her to show some learning delays where she has trouble with remembering things or something kind of minor. So learning languages or something could be difficult for her.

I haven't really been working much on this story since I have a project deadline to finish for my fanfiction project. x_x
