CAN I ALSO add to advise that we stim which is moving our hands and body or we rock and we ultra focused to also calm ourselves and then we scream and verbalize and burst out yelling and continue to on and on until we get all our frustrations

sirgalahad, the actor who plays in all those creepy movies, Anthony Hopkins, was recently diagnosed with Autism. He tells about rubbing his hands together, which I do. I don't recall whether he rocks or not, but I do that as well.
Why is it that it takes a celebrity to make Autism ok to the rest of the world?
Why can't we be who we are, and not wear a mask to appear more acceptable?
I don't have all the answers. But it feels better to not be alone. To know there are so many others who feel as I do, makes it better. Thank you for being you. "Talk " to you later!
