@melindrea@actuallyautistic Additionally, I think there’s a certain level of “this person lacks self-control” that goes through an NT person’s head if they see someone stim. Even NTs who tap their foot or something will get reprimanded or made fun of by other NTs for doing it because it shows “lack of restraint,” or in my case, “anxiety,” because bouncing your leg totally means you’re…worried? Idk.
