But I get it, & it's deeper than "people don't want to see others happy" I understand that the response came from a place of disparity. Mostly, a disparity of resources. Many folk are afraid that if something can be viewed outside of a distress narrative then it's not serious.

I get it, I really do. But to get so lost in that disparity that we refuse to acknowledge our potential for joy will only kill us by our own hand. We need hope. We need to see ourselves. We need to know that we are not alone in our pain & that we can be celebrated as ourselves.

seems what upset people is using the word 'stim', the performance aspect (dancing for camera), voluntary over involuntary, 'stimming' for pleasure and not distress. That's what I gather anyway.

1. Distress has never been a qualifier for stimming 2. The perception of it being a performance was assumed 3. This is legit how I, & many other, stim. I just so happen to also press record so others could see themselves affirmed through the share.

You are a special, amazing person and the way you shine is uncomfortable for some people who are heavily invested in things being a certain way.

Your video honestly made me cry. I am autistic, and I have an autistic son. This is what I want to fight for. People doing what they need to be themselves unapologetically. <3 Thank you.

I would be delighted to see fewer hostile posts about the authenticity of other people's experiences. Critical thinking is fine. Delegitimising criticality is not. I think you're doing good things here. A lot of that anger has exactly zero to do with you.

Most definitely, & I understand that.
(That it's not about me)
