Inspired by a Twitter thread I saw today.

I'm a knee/foot bouncer, former nail biter, scab picker, music listener, and I like to wave my hands around like I'm doing magic tricks sometimes.

I read today that some people get denied their diagnosis because their stim "isn't on the list" and thought that was incredibly idiotic.

Turns out a lot of people as adults develop small, less moor l noticable stims to help with masking, so I saw some I've never heard of before and thought maybe we could share.

One I really enjoyed when I tried myself was someone who said they rapidly tap their teeth together. It seemed soothing to me and I had never thought of it before.

Rolling fingers together (like a windmill of sorts)

Hand rolling in any form is always fun and hard to stop once you get into it.

i chew on a keychain thats on my lanyard for school. Im probably going to buy a chewy things so I don't damage the keychain any further.

i roll my necklace pendent on the chain, mess around with my stretchy bracelet, and shake my head to feel my hair/earings on my neck. also CLICKY PENS!

I have chewys taht i chew on.

So do my kids. Chewelry was recommended by their teachers and we hadn't heard of it, but they're great.
