| I think it's a bit unusual to develop autistic stims beyond toddlerhood, but my son started toe-walking and twirling his fingers at eye level at age 9. He can control it if reminded often.

| I have another son who does this alot! It's nearly impossible for him to stop. But he is imagining fighting sequences in his mind and playing them out on his fingers. He has a very active imagination. |

| The first thing you mentioned, mumbling...my husband and AS son do that all the time. Makes them look psycho. (but they're not...I hope!)

| I know an AS boy who is 16 years old and still flaps his hands when excited. He does it quietly with his hands low, by his sides. I don't even think it's an issue. So what?
