Your thoughts?

Ugh, I wish I could make a list of my sensory stims or the stimuli that gets me going, but it's so hyper-specific and doesn't seem to be able to be done on a whim.

Certain sounds are heard and then never heard again.

It is what it is.

Do you all have stims that you can do on a whim or listen to on repeat?

I can't help but wonder: how could something "just make sense" and be "oddly satisfying" at the same time? Wouldn't satisfaction then be unsurprising to experience and not at all odd?

Eh, I guess comments like this are what happens when you ask an autistic community about a video with a clickbait title.

I guess.

I feel that it's just all one feeling.

"Satisfying, odd, but making sense."

I don't know how to encapsulate or expound on it, but I've felt it.

That's an interesting perspective, thanks for sharing. I don't think of it in that way, but I can see what you mean.
