Feeling happy - in your hands?

Post Reply New Topic

When I get really super happy I flap my hands for a few seconds. On a really good day I flap 3 or more times. Last week I pulled a muscule in my wrist because I flapped a lot that day. Its werid but I think if there was a place on me that where to feel happy it would be my hands. Any one else feel like this?

I personally don't do this, but I believe this is fairly common among people with AS.

I'll sometimes flap my arms, but under different circumstances. When I'm super happy I'll sometimes jump up and down while spinning.

When I was on ADDerall XR and then went off of it due to a severe reaction, I started to meltdown while hand-flapping. My dad was kind of distraught about this. It might've meant I was autistic.

Now, I flap mostly when anxious or happy. It feels like a tic, almost.
