“
And whose problem is that? Try out these
sentences instead: If you sign in public,
people will stare. If you use your wheelchair in
public, people will stare. If you limp in public,
people will stare. If you use your assistance
dog in public, people will stare.
“
And if people do stare, other people will think
they’re rude. Who would tell a Deaf person not
to sign in public or a paraplegic not to use
their wheelchair in public? But people tell
autistic kids not to stim in public all the time."

Stimming in Autistic
Culture
“
"Last night as I was waiting for the pasta to
cook, I found myself twirling in the kitchen
and instead of stopping, I let myself enjoy it. I
kicked out my foot and make a full spin to the
right, then kicked out my other foot and
twirled to the left. I did it again and again and
soon I found myself laughing out loud.
“
Twirling around in the kitchen feels good. It
feels right." — Cynthia Kim[15]

"Quiet Hands is... the equivalent to duct
taping [a non-autistic] person’s mouth shut or
preventing a nonspeaking D/deaf person from
signing."[21]

“Quiet hands!”
“
I’ve yet to meet a student who didn’t
instinctively know to pull back and put their
hands in their lap at this order. Thanks to
applied behavioral analysis, each student
learned this phrase in preschool at the latest,
hands slapped down and held to a table or at
their sides for a count of three until they
learned to restrain themselves at the words.
“
The literal meaning of the words is irrelevant
when you’re being abused.[22]
