Tuesday September 17, 2024 | Autism stims | Self-stimulatory behaviors | Lip-farting

No wonder I can control it.  This is not even related to Tardive Diskinesia.  It is not even related to being a habit! ahhhhh stupid people!    I have a question.  Is Lip-farting an autistic stim?  This is probably a verbal stim?  I have heard Jason make a humming sound whenever he was doing something.  I just let it go because I though it was a bad habit.  Just like I thought that the lip-farting was a bad habit.  Maybe, perhaps it could be um.... autistic stim? Maybe?  If it is, why is this popping up now?  Wouldn't I be diagnosed with autism in childhood? Unless my childhood doctor missed it?  I was diagnosed with SM when I was 4 but I believe that I had SM when I was two and three years old--when I was in preschool.  Why? Because I physically couldn't speak when I was two and three years old.  It started when I was in preschool when I physically could not speak to teachers and my peers.  Then it eventually moved to my distant relatives then my grandmother and aunts and uncles and cousins.  I just feel I can't get the words out.  I just need a little help on speaking.  And this Lip-farting?  It's a verbal stem maybe?  I think it's maybe um... uh... like it's um.... a way for it get me to um... speak.  I don't know.  What do you think?  

So the one doing this lip-farting or humming is not aware of it until someone says something.
