I’m autistic and stim a lot. Have you considered purchasing fidget/stim products? I’m particularly fond of Stimtastic’s products.

I’d like to take the opportunity to point out that there are a slew of conditions that would compel people to chew on things. Offhand, I know that a lot of autistics stim by chewing.

Sorry for the delayed response; things have been hectic on my end. I did, however, keep this comment open in a tab so that I wouldn’t forget!

I feel like I’m missing something a common experience with other people, because I do not think that I have ever watched something solely — or predominately — because I was attracted to an actor (of any gender!).

You just saved me a Google search. I was just wondering the same thing!

About ten years or so, my partner and I were living from paycheck to paycheck. I wasn’t working other than the occasional freelance gig, and his income wasn’t enough to pay all of the bills. We often had to borrow money in order to make mends meet.
