[If you get to smile

I get to flap]

Mod note: Anonymous creation.

And yeah, allistics have a tendency to be very caught up in the “right” way to express emotions. Some people laugh or smile when they’re happy. Some people flap or sway. There’s nothing wrong with any of those.

(Er…or is swaying just a me thing? I don’t think I’ve ever seen another autistic person who sways when they feel good. Anyone?)

^ Yes to ‘swaying when feeling good’. Only side-to-side though.

yearoftheknife answered: I definitely sway side-to-side a LOT when I’m excited, and back-and-forth when I’m nervous/uncomfortable.
