  • That's a very good point, I hadn't considered those kind of sensory experiences when I answered earlier, but I think you are quite right, they are also a form of sensory seeking stimming.

    People have often though it strange that I have several books which I read over and over again, something which I have done since childhood.  Similarly there are passages of music which give me great contentment to hear repeated for extensive periods.
