I can't control my hands! ^_^

So I’m watching a bunch of neurowonderful‘s videos on YouTube and
I very seriously think autism is one of my special interests (which sounds weird)
Because I’ve had to pause the videos 9 different times
due to happy flapping and I usually only do that when super super happy (after being told not to by teachers when I was little.)
Idk just wanted to make a post. I’m going to try and get my grandma to watch a few episodes.
^__^ or all the episodes.
I’m glad you’re enjoying them!! *happyflaps*
fyi also, autism is totally one of my special interests! its not that weird 🙂
Mine as well! *waves*

when you say you can’t do a thing and what you mean is that if you do the thing you’ll be put in pain and completely exhausted and people make you do the thing and you’re put in pain and completely exhausted and they say “see? you thought you couldn’t do it, but you could! you can do anything if you try hard enough!”
