I do this thing where I look at my nose and blink my eyes back and forth (really fast) one at a time to make me nose "move". Does anyone else do that? Haha

My brother who is on the spectrum also does that.

It can also be a compulsion for some people with OCD.

I have done that before out of curiosity. But I wouldn't say it's a stim for me. I definitely don't do that regularly.
