What are your stims?

Gay 2/1/2021 01:02 am 2910

my stims are:

Singing/ humming

Leg bouncing (idk if that’s my anxiety or not)

Hitting my chest

Picking at my scalp

“Bebebebebebebebebbebe”

“Fhart”

Repeating whatever word I heard recently

Bopping like bop cat

*bop* *click* *bop* *click*

flappy hands

using fidget toys

chewing on things

typing on a laptop or computer

maladaptive daydreaming (this is kinda bad for me because i get my daydreams confused with reality at times)

Violently shaking when I’m upset or sad

Listening to the same song over and over

making the hand where u pu down ur index, middle, and ring finger and i shake it super violently

That’s all of mine! I wanna hear yours

shaking my hands in like a circular motion (with the added bonus of a fun noise when I've got kandi on), knee bouncing, hand flapping. flapping near my face with my hands in like an "a" shape, whistling, shaking my head from side to side

I don’t want to list them all, but my main one when I’m happy or excited (even just a tiny bit) is that I involuntarily clasp my hands and wave them up and down in front of my chest. If I’m extra excited I will also jump and down at the same time. I’ve done it since I was a little kid.

I’m autistic - Asperger’s/ASD (yes, they’re the same thing but both labels are on my records), so I think that’s why I have my stims. But I haven’t mentioned it on here for years so I doubt anyone knows.

foot tapping, messing with kandi beads, humming, doodling, shaky hands, taping or breathing to a rythim.

My biggest ones are just depending on my mood, when I'm upset I smash my left arm repeatedly, if I'm happy or excited I wiggle my arms and maybe dance, if I'm nervous or bored I crack my left wrist (not in a bad way), If I tend to forget something I snap my finger and slap my face (when i slap my face its not a hard slap, its soft. and doing that actually helps me remember sometimes) If I'm nervous or under pressure I flap my hands back and forth. I tend to bounce my leg and mess with my hands a lot on random. i think that's all-
