Have you even accidentally broken something due to stimming?

I've broken 2 rocking chairs as result of my rocking. I expect to break more in the future, though I do not break them on purpose and prefer if they did not break, but they do. When I get a place of my own, I will probably have several rocking chairs stashed somewhere.

I broke my Zelda walkthrough book by flipping pages in it too much. Actually the pages fell out. I have caused a short circuit in one of the cords by having it in my mouth between my teeth. That may be a sensory thing actually.


PS having a baby is a good excuse to rock

Pens and mechanical pencils the most. I chew on them to the point they look like a chewed up straw.

Also my rubiks cubes. I've had to repair them a couple of times because I will constantly solve them multiple times per day (100+). Mostly the stickers that had to be replaced but I've had to replace the core a few times. I've now learned that plastic tiles are a cubers best friend but they tend to feel more slippery than stickers

I don't think I've ever broken anything, but I did go through a period of leaving a lot of hair dye and eyeliner stains on the wall in my upstairs landing due to bouncing off it with my hands.

Not really, no.

my hat it has a clip in it that i like to widget with

I had a Sony remote control which I'd constantly slide the aux-control door open-closed-open-closed, while watching TV... It was made of brushed stainless steel, and slid really nicely with a gentle "click" as it locked in place. I couldn't help it. I eventually wore out the detent catch which holds the sliding part shut. I felt bad, because I like to keep things absolutely perfect like new, including keeping all the boxes and plastic bags & packing. I hate damaging something accidentally; let alone carelessly. The problem is that if I don't fiddle with something, I pick the skin around my thumb nails, and I don't know I'd doing it. I wear gloves if that gets to be a problem, as it seems to come & go as a habit.

YES

Many times.

I was pacing, tripped, and fell into one of my moms flower pots.

I once broke an antenna off my cell phone bu sucking on it and pulling it in and out.

don't know if it's quite stimming, but I would spin allot of objects off axis to feel the procession of the weight, throw things to watch them spin or stretch and bend them to watch them deform and feel the elasticity.

There have been a large number of broken objects and personal injuries due to those habits.

I've broken all sorts of things. Glasses, cups... the worst things I've broken have been my fingers. Done it a few times, with incessant clicking.

No I usually just misplace things.....a lot of times I pick random objects up hold on to them for a while and then set them back down random places. I am also completely unaware this is going on unless someone mentions it.....like when Im in my brothers room he has to remind me to put things back(he has so many random things in his room its bound to happen).

I constantly break pens and mechanical pencils, sometimes from taking them apart. I don't think I own a single mechanical pencil that isn't broken in some way.
