Paige Maddox- Co-Creation 2

  i have done some research related to hand-written type of that I can have some inspiration for creating my own type. This research has been helpful because I need to add type to all of my projects. I have gathered together these images because they show a variation between line thickness, colour and style. After finding these examples, I'm going to produce my own type examples and make a sheet out of them.

 Stimming: Stimming, also known as self- stimulating behaviour, includes actions such as: arm or hand- flapping, finger-flicking, jumping, spinning, rocking and head banging. It can include the repetitive use of an object. Such as flicking a rubber band. People who have Autism can use stimming as a coping mechanism when they feel overwhelmed in social situations. Gives the person with Autism a sense of control. A way to calm and communicate their moods. However, many Autistic people say that their repetitive behaviours make them feel like a social outcast. Stims are automatic and uncontrollable Why do some Autistic people stim?: For enjoyment An attempt to gain sensory input. Stims are a response to sensory overload. Such as a noisy room. An attempt to reduce sensory input To deal with stress and anxiety and to block out uncertainty References: Kapp (2019) Stimming, therapeutic for autistic people, deserves acceptance Available at: https://www.spectrumnews.org/opinion/viewpoin...

  These editorial rough represent how socialising, being in a relationship and maintaining a job can be challenging for those who have autism. However, people with autism try to cover up these challenges by masking.
