| I have both autism and bpd! My main autistic traits are sensory sensitivities (all noises are equally loud to me, certain frequencies make me burst into tears, I have an unusually strong sense of taste/smell, if one side of my body is touched I have to touch the other), poor proprioception (walking ... |

| When I have stressful bad thoughts, I find some relief in thinking it through "scientifically" (or, well, more accurately, pseudoscientifically, since a lot of the thoughts I use to calm myself down are stuff I picked up and half-remember or are "just so" stories, but the objecti... |

| What are your favorite stims that involve other people? I used to do these all the time in high school, and now as an adult it is a mark of true friendship when I start stimming with a person. My favorite partner stims are: ⋅ Playing with their fingers and hands ⋅ Shaking their h... |

| Thanks for responses- I'd heard ASMR is more common in autistic people, which is part of why I asked here. I will look into auditory synesthesia- I assumed it was ASMR because certain other things trigger a similar but milder sensation that is pleasant, and the description of ASMR sounded very simil... |

I hate the sensation of ASMR which is triggered by those videos. It's like getting tickled directly on my spine nerves and it's WAY too intense.
My brother started doing that when he was 18 or so, now he's 20. He doesn't do it so much, but that's mostly because he's moved away. |

| Do any other autistics hate ASMR? I'm autistic, and those sorts of sounds give me the heebie jeebies! My brother used to torture me by tricking me into putting on headphones (with the pretext of showing me a cool song or something) then playing an ASMR video while holding my arms so I couldn't take ... |

| I make a lot of sounds, but I don't really consider them stims because to me stims are things that give me an endorphin rush, which I don't get from most of them? The exception is counting/chanting "one-two-three-four, two-two-three-four, three-two-three-four, etc..." or "one-two-thre... |

| My favorite character is Scott Summers! I fell in love with him back when I first saw X-1 when I was 9- I am Scott, Scott is me. I think the thing that really appeals to me is the central metaphor of the character? Like Wolverine and Beast are Man vs Animal, and Storm is Man vs God, but Cyclops is a... |

| No, you are not the only one who found it a "bit" racist! I found it that way as well, and many others did too! I think the general consensus is they tried to do a clever flip on how the original stories were a bit racist and just belly flopped into actual slight racism rather than flippin... |
