Stim Shroom

Stim Shroom is a creature in the disLORE universe. It does not appear often, but when it does, it is appreciated by some, and concerns others. The reason why many people find it disconcerting is that it is always flopping around in a strange manner. Upon asking Stim Shroom if it's flailing motions are a sign of distress, it will tell you that it is okay, and it is simply stimming.

Stimming:
Stimming is short for self stimulatory behavior, which is a common behavior with autistic people, and other people who have neurodivergencies/neurological conditions. Stimming can range from flapping your hands, to making noise with your mouth, or in Stim Shrooms case, flailing around on the floor. Self stimulatory behavior can help people regulate or express their emotions, stimulate themselves when bored/understimulated, and can be used as a way to cope with being overwhelmed.

Abilities:
Stim Shroom is fluent in sign language, although sign language is not it's only way of communicating. It can speak due to a secret, non-visible mouth somewhere on it's mushroom body.

Additionally, Stim Shroom has the ability to flail around nonstop without getting tired. It is constantly stimming happily, around the clock.
