![[Live] : ONE FIGHT NIGHT 25 วันนี้!! "อเล็กซิส vs รีเกียน"](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/suVr9a6BM2g/mqdefault.jpg)
I thank you so much for this video Lilly - I'm 59 and diagnosed 4 months ago - I had a joke I'd say to myself, years ago, that I was "emotionally constipated" - Now, after diagnosis, there is a trail of "clues" that I'm trying to put together. Deep within me is a autistic child who learned to do what you did... pull within - and only show what I thought was "allowed" and I still do this today. My traits are mild compared to yours, but in watching your videos I'm discovering traits that I would never have recognized. Raptor Hands, Different Stims, Echologia, echolalia, perseveration. I'm even wondering about alexithemia now - The psychological battle between my "normal" self and the autistic self grows every day. I have questioned my own sanity, as to why I would feel there is something "more autistic" inside me... yet as time goes on, I find more and more traits. I know you understand this dilemma I speak of... Your story of self-discovery of your traits tells me I'm not insane. I think I found the key to letting my autistic self free again. It is to become aware again of what I can feel emotionally and physically - Stimming helps me relieve the anxiety and stress that suppresses the emotions and feelings.. But it is so habitual to hide all of this... to not let it "out"... I'm trying to find a way to be "me" again and I'm just "winging it" as to how to do this. I think an important factor too, is to be around others who are autistic - We are so conditioned to hide our autistic traits, thoughts, feelings, emotions etc - when we are "in public" that I think this greatly slows any progress into extinguishing old habits and letting ones base on natural autistic tendencies develop. Sorry - another autistic trait - what is this one... Perseveration ? LOL - God Bless you Lilly and ALL my autistic family...
My ASD Journey yes being emotionally constipated!! Lord I've been describing myself as that since childhood! 😂😅 Also on a self discovery journey as well. It is so hard, going back to your inner child, your self, which I've essentially pushed away for so long.
I’m sorry you don’t still post, your videos are very open and real which is exciting. Bye congrats on way more than 10.
For me I don’t think I ever truly sit still. My feet and fingers are usually moving even if the rest of me isn’t.
Maybe do a fidget toys review if you opt to come back?
Yay stimming! I'm just starting trying to get myself comfortable stimming and it's so freeing. :)
+happy fish I'm so glad for you!
+happy fish I'm so glad for you!
Thanks for the video. It's impossible for an NT like me to understand intuitively this condition so an intellectual explanation is very helpful.
Lilly-You are amazing! Have you done any posts for this year? I have learned so much from you…you have no idea how thankful I am.
So glad you kept these videos up, their really helpful. Do you know about agony Autie? She does load of stimming videos. She’s on TH-cam, but there’s more stuff on fb.
I’d love to hear you talk about the varying stages of catatonia, the rhythms that it comes in, any coping mechanisms you may have etc..
Take care. Wish we could prompt each other to drink tea 🍵❤️
thank you 🤍
Thanks for this channel, my son has some similar traits to you and it’s really helpful to hear your thinking on things.
Subscriber No. 150. Keep doing what you are doing. You are a joy and an inspiration!
+Joey Ingles oh my gosh this seriously made my day! Thank you so much!
No, thank you. I am 45 and just starting the roller coaster journey that is Asperger's. Finding others who are coping, loving, living, and thriving is a joy.
How did you figure out what your stimming style was? Did you remember it from when you were really young? I am wanting to let mine out. People usually think I look super chill and calm because I stay so still, but I have lots going on in my insides that I'm not expressing. I had PTSD as a child from the environment I grew up in. I believe I had to learn to stop expressing emotion other than anger to survive. Thanks so much for sharing so candidly with us! Keep it up.
+Emily Lamb We're not too different there. I had a traumtic childhood as well, moreso when I was placed in foster care. up to that point I do remember stimming some, although I don't have a lot of memories before age nine. The abuse I endured in my first foster home was what really caused me to start suppressing everything. Rediscovering stimming was definitely a process, part healing and learning that I didn't have to stay invisible to stay safe, and part of it was literlly just trying a ton of stims out, some stuck and some didn't. It's definitely evolvoed over time. My stims happen like my tics a lot.I'll develop a new one and it wil stick for a whie, and sometimes it goes away but usually doesn't.
I hope to start my Stim Freely series soon which will be a more in-depth exploration of stimming advocacy which is something I'm very passionate about. I think you'd really enjoy it :)
LillyAlive Thank you for sharing. Yes, I would be very interested in that series! Thanks again for putting yourself out there with this channel. You are helping people!
Emily Lamb definitely am always super quiet and still. People always think I'm calm because that's what I project on the exterior. My therapist told me that I'm like a duck in water, super calm outside, paddling away furiously inside. 😂
I’m not sure when you will see this comment, but I support you 100%. Whatever makes you feel happy is all that matters. I would love to talk.
You're very kind. Feel free to contact me through any of the options in the description :)
Sit still, stop doing that, etc. Even for neurotypical children we shame them and tell them off so often, when in fact they're just being kids. I can't imagine how hard it must be when you feel the need to stim and cannot. I suspect being on the spectrum but do not really stim and do not remember ever really doing that. But definitely am and was the quiet persons who sits on her own and doesn't talk much.
Rock on!
i hope you keeep this channel i love it i also love to stim
Watching you makes me want to be myself and stim in public and be ok with it
I stim, but secretly. I would love to go full-stim. Lol. I would be traumatized if my NT family would comment negatively about it, however. Any help here would be welcomed.
Color Me Zebra this happened to me sadly :( my family didn’t like it. They don’t accept it. Even when I was a child they didn’t want to accept I was different; hence why I never was diagnosed
