Does anyone chew their shirt subconsciously when they focus, have awful handwriting, or pull their legs up in their chair/crouch on their feet when they sit?

I went to a special class to lessen these behaviors as a kid in a DoD school, but they are all still present

I pull my legs up in my chair!

I talk about it a little bit in the thread "Asperger's and social conventions", which you can find under the Getting to Know Each Other board.

I often sit with one leg curled below me as well.
I chew the drawstrings of my sweater (if i wear one), and my handwriting makes a doctors' look like calligraphy; my high school teachers practically begged me to type my assignments...

No clothes eating/chewing, but I do tend to pluck my beard hairs out at times out of boredom or stress, and I do put my feet up all the way on my desk, which isn't that low to the ground causing me to slouch quite a bit in my chair.

I have awful handwriting partly due to bad fine motor-skills & a tremor disorder that acts up when doing things with fine motor-skills

I used to chew my shirts (and still do chew on other objects) and do often pull my legs up on my chair (I sit on my feet a lot). My handwriting is fine though. Not especially neat, but easily legible.

Terrible handwriting, sitting on my legs daily, used to bite shirt as a teenager. Now it's mostly pencils.

I bite my nails, slump in my chair, and put my legs up in my chair at school.

sometimes my handwriting is good sometimes it is bad, as for chewing I chew on everything and then I also sit up in chairs.
