Never considered most of the things written here as stims before.
But if I start now, at the moment i'm wiggling my toes and chewing on my lips.

That's why you're so smart. You got wisdom teeth early.

I never even got mine.

Thanks. They weren't fully developed, but they were impacted, yay.

I was using it pretty loosely with my last one. Mainly for me at the computer it's usually rocking and various hand/arm movements in between typing.

I've heard that impacted wisdom teeth really suck. I'm glad you were able to get it treated.

Thank you for explaining. My most common stims are also rocking and moving with my hands and arms. When I'm drawing or when my both hands are occupied with another activity it seems to migrate to my legs and feet though.

Right now I'm rocking back and forth.

In bed wiggling my foot/toes and biting the inside of my cheek while looking for a spare millimeter of my finger nails to bite.

Funny, the toe wiggling seems to be a thing here

I love your picture Biggles. I have a beagle friend too.

Is clenching your teeth and constantly rubbing your clenched upper and downer set of teeth against each other to make melodies a stim? My teeth seriously hurt from it.

Chewing my jaw which I didn't even realize I was doing until now.

Mine are impacted. I've been told to get them removed but the fear of another meltdown (I had a root canal at 11 that caused a meltdown) and the cost has stopped me. My dentist told me it's only bad when you can't reach them to clean them anymore and I don't have that issue. No other problems either.

That's not logical I know because they push against and realign your other teeth but...I'm not over the other experience. I still hear and feel the drill.

Bouncing my leg, or switching to waggling my feet when I put my legs up on my other office chair.

Crochet stitching...

I may or may not rock or hum random noises while doing it.

I do this when I cut the back of mine. It feels soft like a little animal. Probably because in my case I am. :wink:

I have been tonguing the corner of my mouth all day - it's a stim that even annoys me and I wish I'd stop doing it, but I keep doing it.

While I don't do this to myself. (I'm not that crazy..

I can't just have a bald hair!)
Back at my younger days when I visit the Sped center, I'd do this to a student at random. :lol:

Usually they don't mind. Or wanting more of it.

I don't know xD it's funny to do that if the hair's texture is coarse, and see someone else's scalp move around like a loose skin or a tummy through those hair.

I'm pacing my way home tonight if it doesn't rain. :twisted:
