I’m stimming (flapping in particular) pretty much all day every day- I stopped caring whether or not anyone else has a problem with it. If you’re not hurting anyone, who cares? A lot of people don’t have the nerve to say anything even if they dislike it.

  @EatenByWormy And in the last few months doing this, not one person has commented, or even really acted like they noticed me doing something “strange”
