History of International ASMR Day
The concept of ASMR began gaining recognition in 2007 when a user on the SteadyHealth forum described experiencing tingling sensations in response to certain stimuli. This sparked discussions among individuals who had similar experiences. In 2010, Jennifer Allen coined the term “Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response” to describe this phenomenon. Recognizing the growing interest and community around ASMR, KellyMsAutumnRed and Ilse Blansert (known as TheWaterwhispers) established International ASMR Day in 2012 to promote understanding and appreciation of ASMR.
