This tag connotates the discussion as something much more serious than a regular Serious tag.

so this happened in my cooking class and we were making spaghetti from scratch and we had to use this tiny spaghetti machine, which would make it look like long noodles and stuff. Basically it functions with a crank and it made this really satisfying noise when you started cranking, i kinda started to use it for awhile to stim with and i found it to be a lot more satisfying than my previous strategies. So when we were done, we had to put it away, and i started to get really nervous cause i was getting into it, my teacher told me to stop cranking it but it just felt really nice to hear that sound combined with the motion. I started having a mental breakdown and i began pacing around and i kept talking out loud and my thoughts became more and more obsessive, and i kinda just zoned out in general. I fortunately brought some of my music along with my headphones this time so i began to stim it out after class.
 
Come to think about it I don't remember much of what I did in the cooking part of home ec. I think I made like pizza at one point and then pasta at another or something. Eighth grade was eight years ago
 
Mikobowl why dont you tell people in real life you have this problem

My nigga, how autistic are you???
 
i could but the one problem with it is that i would have to put it in a position which i would use my left hand, as most machine are designed with right handed use
There must be some left handed ones out there
 
A few of these are just horrible tips.
>Focus on him
The heck do you think I'm doing if I'm trying to calm him down?
>Be a safe space
Ah, so waving my arms around at him and doing my best impression of a silverback gorilla isn't going to do the job? Wouldn't have guessed that one!
>Respond accordingly
Wow, thanks. How do I fix my car's engine? You just have to respond to it accordingly. How do I calm a crying baby? Just stand over his crib and respond to the little guy accordingly. My wife wants a divorce? Respond to her accordingly. Home intruders have me at gunpoint? Respond to their gun barrels accordingly. Real helpful stuff.

Or just slap the thing until it stops misbehaving, that works too
