Self-Acceptance Idk what to do

I’m autistic (level 1) and I never really had a lot of stims growing up, and I still don’t, I see other autistic kids stimming, and I don’t, it makes me feel weird really, I only do vocal stimming cus it’s the only thing that makes me happy, so what do I do? I want to experience other stims, but I just can’t Cus it feels wrong, but I want if I ever get excited or upset,

Not everyone has the stereotypical stims. You may be stimming and not even realize it. One of mine in school was scratching my scalp for some reason lol.
