Temperate words build
crenelated barriers;
a fortress of reeds.

The following link is an interesting post from a person with Autism, addressing self-stimulatory behaviors. I remember in the early days of DS’s diagnosis being really concerned about stims. His stims are large, gross motor stims that get more noticeable as his body grows larger (he is now taller than I am). But you know what? He processes thoughts while he is stimming. And he comes to conclusions while he is stimming. Much like I do, when I twirl a strand of hair around my finger tip and flick it against my ear, or my lip. This is a stim. Many people have them. Get over it.
