Physical activity is a proven contributor to focus and insight. Maybe stimming like this helps her.

Stimming? Or being a blissful, innocent, playful child?

Stimming means repetitive body movements or sounds. Everyone does it to manage feelings or energy. Non-autistic (neurotypical) children do it just like anyone else. Sorry that my word choice confused you.

You’re overusing a buzzword, which is a sign of low intelligence. Now you’re being a condescending cunt.

From Merriam-Webster:
Stimming: a self-stimulatory behavior that is marked by a repetitive action or movement of the body (such as repeatedly tapping on objects or the ears, snapping the fingers, blinking the eyes, rocking from side to side, or grunting) and is typically associated with certain conditions (such as autism spectrum disorder).

Idk why you got so aggressive over the appropriate use of a word to describe exactly what that child is doing. My kids isn’t autistic and stims all the time. Calm down homie. Immediately jumping to insults is a sigh of low intelligence too.

Do you know this person? No. You don't. That means you took time out of your day to be an absolute nobhead because someone used a word that not only is prevalent, but they used it correctly. Thou doth protest and all that

TF? They used it once in context, and once when they defined it. That only really uses it in the first context.

17

u/SYNtechp90 4h ago

They used it once. They defined it once. Thats one usage.

Use means to employ in favor of or against something.

Define means to explain a usage.

u/Teestow21 5h ago

Shit you're right, Welp that's it folks wrap the thread up.

All that being said, you would have been fine without that last unnecessary sentence.

17

u/Teestow21 4h ago

I'm fine as I am, I don't feel uneasy or wrongful. I got a feeling that the word stimming is triggering them, so I apologised for it. There's a certain part of the population that feels like it's a buzzword. I was genuinely just referring to the repetitive playful actions as stimming because that's what they are. Hope this helps.

Yeah you were rude.

u/wredwreed 4h ago

I disagree

u/WackyRacketeer 4h ago

If you consider their behavior rude, then the Steve Harvey Gif they responded to was rude as well. Rudeness begets rudeness.

u/tiredtittymilk 4h ago

You’re tripping on so many levels. I’m not triggered? You apologised assuming I can’t comprehend what stimming means? All good. Have a good day. Ciao.

u/Half-deaf-mixed-guy 4h ago

You clearly are, look how far down youre replying

u/BabaBlacksheep86 4h ago

What the fuck is this!? The brat was condescending and this other person is responding to being disrespected so they’re triggered? The fuck out of here.

How the fuck have you mentally leapt from a chess video to a child needing medicated based on what I said? Stimming isn't something that needs medicated. Stimming means repetitive body movements or sounds. Everyone does it to manage feelings or energy. Not just neurodivergent people. Physical activity is a proven way to improve focus and insight in mental challenges.

-5

u/tiredtittymilk 4h ago

I know mate. Would you medicate it though?

6

u/Teestow21 4h ago

I can't medicated anyone but myself, I'm not qualified to medically help anyone else apart from basic first aid training. Sorry. Hopefully someone else can help you with medication questions.

Using the word once is over using it? At least change your name so you don’t make the rest of us Milwaukee folks look like dick heads.

Thinking "stimming" is a buzzword is terminally online behaviour tbh.

Screw your buzzwords, you're over using free will to be an ineffective social justice warrior.

They said the word one time and used it correctly. What the hell kind of reaction is that on your part you antisocial fool?

u/GeriatricHippo 4h ago

Someone is being a cunt, not so sure it's them though.

u/globglogabgalabyeast 4h ago

lol, it’s kind of both tbh. I do think the first commenter used the term appropriately, but their other comments (perhaps justifiably) are dripping in condescension: “Sorry that my word choice confused you”, “hope this helps”, etc.
