For the person who wanted to see the spiky tangle in action!
[Description: 5 gifs of a white agender teen with a buzzcut and a gothic/emo outfit playing with a multi colored silicone spike covered tangle jr. They can be seen twisting it with both hands, gently rubbing it on their face, putting their fingers into the tangle when coiled up, stroking the tangle, and using one hand to twist the tangle.]
over the past year, i’ve gotten more comfortable rocking and flapping and using stim toys in public, but i’m still very self conscious about most of my vocal stims. will they annoy people? will i seem “childish” for making them?
but vocal stimming has been one of my main ways of stimming throughout my life, long before i knew what stimming was and even when i was repressing most other body stims.
– when i’m content, vocal stimming is a natural response that’s hard to push down.
– when i’m upset, overstimulated, or stressed, vocal stimming can help me calm down like nothing else.
– when i’m finding words difficult, echolalia and certain noises are what i use to communicate to my partner.
vocal stimming is so important, natural, and fun!! so here is a video of me doing my favorite vocal stim: beeping! it’s also the one i feel most self conscious about, so hopefully posting it here will help me be more confident about it.
i beep for so many different emotions – when i’m upset it’ll get loud and high-pitched and insistent. when i’m content, like in this video, it’s fairly quiet and lots in a row. when i’m trying to communicate something (such as “excuse me, coming through!” or “don’t touch me right now please!”) i usually make one loudish beep.
you are invited to reblog this video if you do so in kindness!! <3
but do not reblog it if your intent is to mock me or vocal stimming. i will have to block you if you say anything rude, anti-autistic, or transphobic. and do NOT reblog if it is to a kin.k blog or for any sort of kin.k/sexu.al reasons!
[ video description: a white young adult with short brown hair and a black star wars tank top holds a hairy tangle in their hands. they start beeping quietly and non-stop a couple seconds into the video. ]
Image description: a white enby wearing a white and black flannel, a green bracelet, and a black ace spinner ring is sitting on the floor and rocking gently. Both hands are playing with a trans colored tangle.
{ image descriptions:
the first photo is of a white nonbinary person’s hand with a black and silver spinner ring on their middle finger and a tangle relax around their wrist like a bracelet, twisted so it looks like an infinity sign;
the second photo is of the same person taking a selfie in a bathroom mirror; they have short brown hair and wear a black t-shirt with a rainbow brain and the word neurodiversity on it and a black fidget cube is dangling from their belt loop;
the third photo is of their hand again, this time with a rainbow wristband on their wrist, and they are stimming with the button side of the fidget cube on their belt loop }
