( No Title )
Hello everyone,
I just realized that sniffing things is a type of stimming. It’s called olfactory stimming. I When you smell, tasting objects, or licking. I have a baby blanket that I like to sniff because I like the scent. I don’t wash it much because that scent will go away (kind of gross, I know). I found some more information in an article that states:
Oral and olfactory
This type of stim refers to the mouth and nose – strong tastes and smells can provide lots of sensory stimulation. Oral and olfactory stimming might lead a person to try spicy or sour foods, or seek out strong smells (which may be unpleasant).
Oral and olfactory stimming examples: biting, chewing, licking, sniffing, touching objects with tongue or teeth, grinding teeth.
The link to the article will be below if you’d like to read more about stimming.

Stimming
i recently found a solid perfume that works for me! i have sensitive nose and skin so it’s so hard to find something that doesn’t break out my skin or overwhelm me. i love smelling it at work! i never knew it could be a stim but it makes sense. my sense of smell is quite intense.
