Is it bad that I constantly force my stims into hiding and refuse to show anyone that I’m autistic? I’m super insecure about my stims, especially since it’s mostly hand shaking, rocking, jumping and noises. It’s extremely hard and I feel incredibly restless all day. But the last time I tried to own up about my autism and stimmed in public to “accept my autism”, I was immediately told I look like a drug addict and I have refused to do it since. Idk what to do, I can’t tell if I’m just being a dramatic teenager or hiding my stims is bad.
