"STIMMING: What it feels like from the inside"

In the beautiful images that follow, Autistic artist & storyteller Anouk of @Autism_Sketches depicts the experiences of some of their Autistic followers on Instagram. It is so important to learn from Autistic voices. These descriptions are exquisite.

I’ve been at universal for 8 hours now and holy shit. Having both the accessibility pass and my crutches has been life changing!!! I haven’t had to wait super long standing in lines which, I haven’t needed to sit as much as I would otherwise, AND I’m in a lot less pain than I would be otherwise. This is fucking incredible

I need someone to hold me by the ankles and crack my body like a whip

PSA IF YOU WANNA HAVE A DAY WHERE WE WALK AROUND PLACES YOU GOTTA LET ME KNOW BEFOREHAND SO I DONT FORGET MY MOBILITY AID. YOU CANT JUST SAY WERE GOING TO LUNCH AND THEN HAVE ME WALK AROUND TWENTY STORES (in reality, i can do it, i’ll just not be able to focus on the task at hand because i’ll be focused on the pain i’m in)

I’m moving to my new apartment today which is hella exciting. However, I do be chronically Ill and have chronic pain so we’ll see how this shit goes. I don’t have my cane or my crutches cause can’t really move boxes with them so hopefully this goes smoothly.

Thankfully I’m not alone in moving my girlfriend and one of our friends is helping too.

I also seriously hurt my back last week (like couldn’t move and had to get EMTs to take me to the ER fucked up) so I’m a little scared to fuck it up again cause it still hurts. But thankfully I’m not in charge of moving too many boxes cause of my back but that sucks for the others as I’m by far strongest physically so hopefully neither of them will get hurt either cause that would SUCK major ass.

But anyway moving out of college dorms and in with my girlfriend is hella exciting

Y’all. Forearm crutches are fucking amazing holy shit
