on What are some of your unmasked behaviors? · c/askautisticpeople · 3 pts · 1yI've been reclaiming some stims/behaviors that I supressed for many, many years. They include: Singing my thoughts out loud(terribly) Prancing around the house on my toes. Swinging arms around wildly. I hit the back of my head against car seat/desk chair, not to the point of harm. Unmasked for me means scripts are gone. I take much longer to take in and process questions, and to create responses.
on What are your echolalia words/phrases? · c/askautisticpeople · 1 pts · 1yI similarly have a collection of numbers and phrases that I will repeat, generally in moments of stress or to ward off intrusive thoughts. I can perform these inwardly as well, though I prefer to oralize if the situation allows. I think palilalia may fit better.
