    You would be surprised the things people have done when they found I was stimming... But you're probably right... I'm probably just being stupid...

    Nervous about what my partner will think if they see me stim

    No I know they haven't I'm very wary of it Besides they get it confused with my really bad anxiety So I guess I'll just say that it's not anxiety it's just a stim

    Nervous about what my partner will think if they see me stim

    I dunno... I've had to do it around my parents and when I was at school for so long that's it's just normal for me to mask around people... I would like be able to let my guard down when I'm with them tho... Do you have any advice about how to tell them maybe?

    Nervous about what my partner will think if they see me stim

    Lately I have been stimming mostly when they go to work and stop when they get home... I'm just scared that they'll hate me or something and I really don't want them to leave me... I told them that I'm autistic but they didn't really care for learning about it at all and that makes me nervous...

    Nervous about what my partner will think if they see me stim

    I usually twitch a lot or I'll tap my fingers... sometimes I do the thing where I'll tap my wrists together repeatedly or I'll shake my hands...

    Nervous about what my partner will think if they see me stim

    So my partner and I have been together for a few months and they know that I am autistic but they've never seen me stim or anything and I get really embarrassed about it sometimes... Can anyone give me some advice about this...?
