Transcript
My favorite vocal stim is an a TikTok sound. You just have something stuck in your head. You're not slightly autistic or partially on the autism spectrum because you show some autistic traits. You're either autistic or you aren't. You're not hyperfixated on something that's your hobby or that you favor right now. I'm really tired of neurodivergent people finally speaking out on their experiences and neurotypical people just steal that language because they're scared to be normal. So many people want to use autism or ADHD as a quirky personality trait, but all of a sudden, it's not cute or quirky anymore when you have meltdowns in public or if you're socially awkward. So please do research.

This is for the people that think they’re autistic because they relate to 1 autistic trait they heard on social media and for the people that misuse neurodivergent terminology. Ofc a TikTok sound can be someone’s vocal stim, but most of the time when people talk about vocal stims it’s just catchy trending tik toks. EVERYONE can show some traits of different disorders, but you don’t have a “touch of the tism” because you have some traits. Autism also shares traits with adhd, anxiety, ocd and sm more - I wish these people would stop jumping to the nearest conclusion at every opportunity. #autismawareness #neurodivergent #grwm #viral #foryoupagе
