I’ve been getting braver and stimming in front of my family & my mom saw me getting nervous and says “hey it’s ok, breath and stim if you need to” and i got rlly happy because I wanted to avoid the awkward talk about being autistic so Im happy she she brought it up first. & when she asked me to open a package I did it really slow and starting tearing up the paper when I was done (one of my fav stims) and she saw and said something like “I’m glad you’re more confident stimming” I’m so happy
