nobody talks about olfactory stimming tbh. i hear about visual and tactile and auditory and vestibular bla bla but never olfactory. sometimes i just want to sniff something that smells good over and over and just have it by my face. and it makes me calm. makes me feel good.

Um... As I was perusing through Target, I held this, and these smelled amazing, so I purchased them. That was the main reason I purchased these. Of course I'm going to eat them in moderation, but the smell...it was just heavenly...

it's okay to stim. it's okay. visual stimming is okay. vestibular / physical stims are okay. vocal stimming is okay. verbal stimming is okay. auditory stimming is okay. tactile stimming is okay. olfactory stimming is okay. visual stimming is okay. gustatory stimming is valid. stimming with objects is valid. It's okay to stim. It's okay.

OMG
I just had a thought. Maybe this has been done before, but I've never seen it, so it's a new thought in my brain.
There's the grounding technique of 5 Senses (such as look at 5 things in your room, touch 4 things in your room, smell 3 things etc)
This always confused me a bit cuz I don't naturally just stop and do things when I'm upset. But then I realised... It's just stimming.
So:
Visually stim with 5 different things
Tactical stim with 4 different things
Olfactory stim with 3 different things
Auditory stim with 2 different things
Orally stim with 1 (safe) thing
Or however you want to do it!

𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙘𝙤𝙙𝙚...
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
The Headcanons For Sector JP-T & The Interesting Twins are Here~!
I Did The Best I Could While I Was Working On Them, Trying To Make Them Somewhat Accurate Both Canon and Headcanon Wise (;u;).
But Regardless, I Managed To Finish The Writing On Them Today Finally!
So Anyways, Enjoying Reading~!
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
Tumblr media
Name: Konto Taiji
Age: 10
Height: 5’0
Gender: DemiGirl
Pronouns: She/Her
Sexuality: Lesbian
About:
Konto is the responsible leader alongside her twin brother Shokou, both known as Dual Leaders in their Sector.
She’s pretty much like Nigel or Racheal when it comes to leadership, most especially since she’s also a workaholic whenever Konto does paperwork to sign or such tasks to do…unintentionally without realizing.
She’s very loyal to both their sector and her twin brother, Konto cares for her brother dearly which she does show it only by actions since she’s protective for his safety willing to take risks no matter the cost of the situations.
Konto doesn’t stim a lot or anything but like Nigel, she has a habit of clicking her pen a lot in a way to somewhat break the silence since she can’t focus on the paperwork when the silence is rather loud if that’s understandable.
Konto would also tap her foot repeatedly to have some little movement if that makes any sense, since she doesn’t want to just sit there sitting still with nothing much for her body to move.
She does have Olfactory which Konto likes certain smells, such as scented candles or flowers.
Konto mostly enjoys scented candles since it puts her mind at ease and feel relaxed while doing her work or enjoying her time alone when she needs it.
The bad kind of stims Konto has would be the head banging and scratching, mainly out of frustration or stress and the scratching mostly would get worse if her brother isn’t around to stop it which would cause her nails to dig to her skin and bleed a little.
Konto’s weapon of choice would be the Nagamaki, like a combination of a Bo-Staff and katana.
Konto is able to avoid attacks with quick dodging and using her swift movements to catch the enemies off guard until they’re all down with each strike she throws or swings, very acrobatic using a few flips and such in another way to dodge attacks from the enemies but also very careful to her surroundings depending on the area.
Tumblr media
Name: Shokou Taiji
Age: 10
Height: 5’0
Gender: DemiBoy
Pronouns: He/They
Sexuality: Bisexual
About:
Shokou is the other responsible leader alongside his twin sister Konto, both known as Dual Leaders in their Sector.
Unlike his sister, he’s pretty calm and laidback sometimes but mostly just calm in general since he doesn’t have any struggles other than keeping an eye on his sister.
He’s not lazy or anything if that’s what you’re wondering, again he’s responsible like his sister is but he takes his time and patience to finishing paper work than his sister does since Konto always has her struggles when doing so.
He doesn’t stim a lot either but does have a little habit of clicking his pen as well, same thing while lightly tapping his foot but also tapping his fingers on the table.
Instead of having Olfactory, he has Auditory meaning that he enjoys listening to some calming music such as Lofi which puts his mind more at ease, focused and relaxed while doing his stuff.
Shokou Doesn’t have any bad stims but only little things like picking at his lips without realizing unless he feels a slight sting and would stop himself from doing so, hair pulling is a rare thing but not aggressively pulling his hair or anything out of stress or frustration but only little tugs when he’s having an issue or a few difficulties of struggling with something.
Shokou’s weapon of choice would be the Naginata, similar to the weapon his twin sister has but resembles more of a Bo-Staff with the sharp blade on the end.
He’s also very acrobatic like his sister, able to do flips as well alongside dodging swiftly without a scratch left on him unless the enemy catches him off guard.
Shokou is kind of flexible too but unlike his sister, she is somewhat flexible like he is but not entirely.
Tumblr media
Name: Konto Taiji
Age: 10
Height: 5’0
Gender: DemiGirl
Pronouns: She/Her
Sexuality: Lesbian
About:
The so called “Responsible” one, most mainly the leading type while her brother was only a follower or I guess a second in command in a way if it makes sense.
Konto is very arrogant and unaware to her own selfishness to her actions, pretty cocky too maybe some bit of sass as well but regardless Konto is very irresponsible and overconfident on tasks she’s given to do alongside with her twin brother.
Konto doesn’t stim much but when she’s feeling eager or feeling confident, she would shake her fists up and down similar to hand flaps but with fists.
She does tend to ramble to herself due to being overconfident and such without realizing the situation that would take a turn for herself including her brother.
Konto does have Oral and Olfactory, having sense of taste and smell.
Mostly having a sensitive sense of smell if it’s something bad she can’t handle like gross sewage or anything strong, she would gag once or twice and would be needed to get away from the source of smell if Konto can’t handle it which will result her to actually puke.
The bad stims Konto has are quite bad as they’re listed here, hair pulling, head banging, scratching and of course biting.
Konto mostly pulls her hair and head bangs other than scratching and biting, she could care less to the harm she’s doing to herself unless her brother is there to at least calm her down as possible before it could get worse due to her stress and frustration.
Konto does the scratching a lot and mainly cause of frustration, scratching at her arms mostly as some way of releasing her stress which isn’t a good idea clearly enough.
Resulting to leave her upper arms and forearms to have marks from her nails, Konto does forget sometimes to cut them so her brother would put a bandage or two to her skin if she leaves certain scratches to her skin pretty bad.
Konto is very acrobatic as well as her Twin brother, slightly flexible as well making things easier when it comes to disguises.
She doesn’t have weapons for herself to use, but unless she finds something useful that could be helpful to use as a weapon then she’ll use whatever she finds to defend herself unless there’s nothing at all, then she’ll use her bare hands without hesitation.
Tumblr media
Name: Shokou Taiji
Age: 10
Height: 5’0
Gender: DemiBoy
Pronouns: He/They
Sexuality: Bisexual
About:
The supposed “follower” of his twin sister or whatever other word it is to put it, he’s mostly calm and focused while following his sister’s orders and the tasks being given for him or both himself and his sister to do.
I guess you could say he’s the smarts, always keeping track of the task with focus and concentration at times.
He always kept himself calm unlike his sister who’s arrogant and such, Shokou has his worries for her a lot whenever she gets stressed and always does his best to keep Konto calm as possible just as mentioned.
He doesn’t stim much either but when he feels giddy or eager, he does little hand flaps mainly when his arms are down so basically stimming in secret in a way.
Shokou does hold back his smile from getting any bigger if he’s feeling very eager or giddy inside, but if he’s excited then he’ll pretty much do actual hand flaps and giggle.
Shokou has Auditory, having good sense of hearing pretty much.
He enjoys the sounds of the rain or birds chirping which puts him at ease and feel relaxed after a stressful task, but he does have sensitive ears so anything loud like car horns or machinery he will instantly flinch and cover his ears and get away from the loud noises that hurt his hearing.
The bad stims he only had would be a bit of hair pulling and scratching, not as bad as his sisters since he’s able to control himself and find some ways to calm himself down to not let it get worse.
He mostly does the scratching a lot due to worry or feeling overwhelmed, not leaving marks to his skin like his sister but does remember to cut his nails often not wanting to leave a bad scratch on himself.
Shokou doesn’t have any weapons either for himself to use, he is also pretty flexible like his twin sister again making things easier when it comes to mainly disguises.
If he was ever in a fight either alone or alone with his sister, he’ll do the same thing and use whatever he could find to be useful as a weapon to defend himself, it’s the same thing as well if there’s nothing to defend himself with then he’ll use his bare hands with maybe slight hesitation.

hello, i was wondering if an example of an auditory stim would be like singing and humming songs like a lot? or (this is something i do) i have an obsession with velcro. i love the sound so much. i have a collection of it and i very frequently just take it out and like make the sound with it. is that also an auditory stim?
Hi there, I found an article from Medical News Today that talks about types of stimming, such as:
Auditory Stiming
Auditory stimmin uses the person’s sense of hearing and sound. It may include behaviors such as:
vocal sounds, such as humming
tapping on objects or ears, covering and uncovering ears, and finger-snapping
repetitive speech
Tactile stimming
Tactile stimming uses the person’s sense of touch. It may include behaviors such as:
skin-rubbing or scratching with the hands or objects
hand movements, such as opening and closing one’s fists
finger-tapping
Visual stimming
Visual stimming uses a person’s sense of sight. It may include repetitive behaviors such as:
staring or gazing at objects, such as ceiling fans or lights
repetitive blinking or turning lights on and off
moving fingers in front of the eyes
hand-flapping
eye tracking or peering from the corners of the eyes
object placement, such as lining up objects
Vestibular stimming
Vestibular stimming uses a person’s sense of movement and balance. It may include repetitive behaviors such as:
rocking front to back or side to side
spinning
jumping
pacing
Olfactory or taste stimming
Olfactory and taste stimming use a person’s sense of smell and taste. They may include repetitive behaviors such as:
sniffing or smelling people or objects
licking
tasting objects by placing them in the mouth
The article will be below if you want to read it. Since you like the sound of Velcro, that could be an auditory stim.
I hope this helps. Thank you for the inbox. I hope you have a wonderful day/night. ♥️

re: the last reblog - i think what happens in essence is that every extremely online (and therefore extremely theoretical) disability activism poster that gets caught up in stuff like "if you ever tell me to stop physically jiggling the table where we are both sitting it's because you hate autistic people, due to your insane bigotry" has either intentionally dismissed or possibly is not aware that everyone has an equal entitlement to avoid annoyance, noxious stimuli, and inconvenience as much as is reasonable in shared or public spaces, not just the disabled people. the other thing i like to point out that i NEVER see mentioned (and in fact often see people asserting the opposite) is that other autistic people, with our hypersensitive olfactory, aural and tactile senses, are even more annoyed by your uncontrolled stimming, jiggling, humming and verbosity than a neurotypical person who has better social insulation and may not even notice it. competing accessibility needs are real, and the most annoying person in the room is not automatically the one most entitled to be somewhere without being politely asked to shut up
