My doctor said i have HFA autism not a true diognoses yet they say im to old. but my familey thinks i do have it and the doctor did say HFA. i Wanted to know if when your walking around do you stimm and people slow down the cars and look at you weird? why do they do this? it feels uncomftable and screy to me. then i cant look at anything because there scareing me.

I only had people yelling from their cars at me some in my teens, but it doesn't sound quite as bad. (And nowadays I don't stim very much.)

People seem to have a really sensitive 'radar' for tiny differences in how people move and look. And stimming that doesn't look "normal enough" seems to be really noticeable to most people.

I don't know exactly why people stare/look-at-person-weird, just that they tend to do that when they pick up a difference of that sort. It's rude to stare/look-weird at people, though, so they shouldn't be being jerks (scaring people) like that.

It's not really an issue for me these days, but there's probably (hopefully) a few people around here who also have or have had to deal with that.

yes I stimm and people slow down in their cars to look, but I think to myself I'm not the one hiding in a car staring out like a gold fish. If your worried about this talk to your doctor about ways to reduce your stimms, it is scary, but life is like that.
