Vocal Stim? Anyone?

Post Reply New Topic

Does anybody here Vocal Stim? I do like crazy, like might scream WOOO out of nowhere, or I repeat words over and over, for example, my current words are Wedsnday and Boat.

Can't say that I do.

Yes.
I count when I get nervous, or repeat a word, usually 'water' or somesuch.

i find grunting to be very soothing ..... but i dont use any words ............. dose that count?

yeah, always, like one night i'm talking about hippies, and another i'm talking about chuck norris, lol

I'm more into making random noises or tapping or dancing. Words just don't do it for me unless I'm singing.

I'll get on a word and keep repeating it. I'll say it when I feel...antsy.

Sometimes when really overstimulated, I need to go someplace quiet and just SING.

Dopey doh dopey doh dopey dopey dopey doh....

Doh doh doh?

i also sing a whole whole whole lot and constantly babble nonsensical word salad...

Haha I do that too, babble on and on about nothing, and it usually doesn't make any sense at all, my boyfriend just usually tunes me out haha.

I hum. Heh.

I make a squeaking noise a lot. Usually it's when I don't know what to say or I feel it's better than using speech. Sometimes I repeat words over and over again, but that's usually only when I'm really stressed out.

I do that. Sometimes it's a phrase from a favorite movie that I like, and the other day, it was a random sentence from a novel. For some reason it kept cracking me up. "The stench from the kitties was fierce!"

Age1600,
that sounds like echolalia or palilalia [repeating of others' words,or own].
almost all speech am have is in echolalia and palilalia form,not sure if understand a vocal stim,would that be the same as vocal tic?

A vocal stim is more like something you do when excited or stressed or to calm down. Like humming, singing, making sounds or words. Something that is soothing. It could be like a tic I guess, but also voluntary. I think?

Is a stim something you cannot help doing wiether you want to or not, or just something a bit odd that you really like to do for various helpfull reasons?

At the moment when I can, like when getting changed in the locker room with the other guys, I do this great Jungle semian low whistle that gets faster and higher in pitch to a cresendo.
Dont know what ape or monkey does it, not a Howler Monkey, but it sounds great and it feels great in my mouth, though I bet the other guys must think Iam a bit odd, I am after all nearly 50, not 5.

once we where hanging out in the library and my friend pulled out a book and interrupted to conversation with: i look up "sure, id love a cookie!"

it still makes me laugh
