Start trilling those lips and happy-patting those thighs, because this episode we’re letting our stimming freak flags fly and we can’t be the only ones making a ruckus in the hallway.
In what will surely need a follow-up episode, this ADHD learning corner we’re laying the groundwork on hyper/hyposensitivities and stimming, a.k.a self-stimulatory behaviors–and no, we don’t mean masturbating (you wish). Kristin gets them itchy legs and reveals the PEMDAS of her Perfect Hug (PH), Grace loses her Potter’s Poddies privileges and enjoys the process of a burp, and we both ask the important questions, such as, “do friends hug?” and, “how’s your relationship holding up to the corn song?”
We’ll eventually do a part 2 that will include a more thorough breakdown of autistic vs. ADHD stims, sensory-seeking vs. sensory-avoiding behaviors, and other things we forgot. But until then, drape yourself in velvet and fidget your way through part 1 of this chaotic stimisode.
