STOP STIMMING NOW!

STOP STIMMING NOW! - How would you react if someone told you to stop stimming while you where stimming? Imagine being in a room feeling safe and secure. You are on the spectrum and you enjoy stimming, so you are stimming. Someone burst into the room, picks you up, puts you out side on the street and says STOP STIMMING NOW. How would you feel and how would you react to this kind of information? Being autistic myself with a diagnosis of Aspergers Syndrome having this experience thrust upon me is very upsetting and confusing. I was supposed to be appearing on a national TV show with just days left before the show starting, all bags packed, all filming done, to then get a call telling me I am not doing it anymore and all contact stopping. This was so upsetting and confusing I still cannot get my head around it. But this experience has shown me one thing, that the main stream media don't want to see autism represented on reality TV the don't want the 'risk' of that. This is my personal experience with this and I am going to do everything I can to show that autism isn't a bad thing and it isn't a risk for anyone! Carry on stimming!
