Whenever someone from the community asks me a question, I always try to answer it. It’s really fun, and that’s why I’m here.

If you could be trapped forever in a dream you’ve had, which one would you choose?

I'm asking you this because I have a strange obsession with dreams, so I always ask this question

I literally don't know what to ask you

Uhhh

Stimming—self‑stimulating behavior such as rocking, flapping, tapping, or repeating sounds—is a core part of many autistic people’s daily lives. It is not a metaphor, a vibe, or a stylistic identity marker. It is a coping mechanism that helps regulate sensory overload, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation. When someone adopts stim/stimself as pronouns, they detach the term from its functional, disability‑related meaning and reframe it as a personal aesthetic. This shift risks reducing a survival strategy to a quirky linguistic accessory.

For neurodivergent people who have been punished, mocked, or pathologized for stimming, seeing the term repurposed as a pronoun can feel dismissive. It can read as a form of appropriation: taking a behavior that marginalized people are stigmatized for and turning it into a novelty for those who do not experience the associated struggles.

Appropriation is not only about taking something—it is about taking something from a group that lacks social power. Autistic people and other neurodivergent individuals have historically been institutionalized, silenced, infantilized, and denied autonomy. Their behaviors have been medicalized and controlled. In this context, using stim as a pronoun without belonging to that community—or without acknowledging the weight of the term—can replicate a familiar pattern: marginalized people are punished for something, while others are praised for adopting a sanitized, aestheticized version of it.

Even if the person using the pronouns is neurodivergent, the issue remains: pronouns are a linguistic tool for gender expression, while stimming is not inherently gendered. Collapsing the two categories risks confusing the purpose of pronouns and the meaning of disability‑related behaviors.

Online spaces have a long history of turning marginalized identities into trends. “Neurodivergent aesthetic” content—soft lighting, plushies, pastel stim toys—often strips neurodivergence of its complexity, pain, and social consequences. Using stim/stimself pronouns can unintentionally feed into this trendification. It frames stimming as something cute, whimsical, or fashionable, rather than a coping mechanism that many people rely on to function.

This trendification can make it harder for neurodivergent people to be taken seriously when they advocate for accommodations or try to explain the realities of their experiences. When disability‑related language becomes a trend, the seriousness of the underlying condition is diluted.

Pronouns exist to facilitate communication. They are used by others to refer to someone in conversation. Stimming, by contrast, is a personal regulatory behavior. Conflating the two can create confusion about the purpose of pronouns and the boundaries of identity expression.

Language evolves, but not all evolutions are equally functional. A pronoun that requires others to refer to someone using a term tied to disability‑related behavior places an emotional burden on neurodivergent people who may feel their lived experiences are being aestheticized or misunderstood.

Identity exploration is valid and important. Neopronouns can be powerful tools for self‑expression. But identity creation does not exist in a vacuum. It interacts with culture, history, and marginalized communities. Ethical identity formation requires boundaries—especially when it intersects with disability language.

Using stim/stimself pronouns crosses a boundary because it takes a term with real, non‑optional significance for a marginalized group and repurposes it for personal expression in a way that can overshadow or trivialize the original meaning.

i understand being autistic and having that thought process, but this is kinda leaving a bad taste in my mouth 😭😭

i am autistic and i have been punished and mocked for stimming

i use stim/stims because my autism (and stimming) is apart of my gender and using stim/stims makes me feel happy

you don't have to use stim/stims on me if you don't want to but being autistic is apart of me and can't be separated same with my stimming

please don't assume stuff about me (i'm sorry if you didn't but that's what it looks like to me) i know that im in a marginalized community (im in many, alterhuman, lgbtqia+, neurodivergent, and disabled) and that other people can feel misunderstood and aestheticized but for me its something empowering because i accept that i stim and people who think its "weird" can shut up

(this is not to be taken as rude but the ask was kinda rude sounding to me)

I have no idea?
