What non-stereotypical stims are there?

Hi

Whenever I research online I keep getting the same stereotypical stims mentioned (eg. Hand flapping)

Can people please help me out with what kind of of less typical stims they might have. 

I don't know what mannerisms of mine are stims and what's common to NT behaviour.

  • I have conkers in my jacket pocket to roll around in my hand when I am anxious. I also love the feel of good quality velvet, but reserve feeling that to Christmas. I have a lizard skin covered camera, but love the feel and sound of old Soviet cameras when I press the shutter then wind them on. 
    These are not things I do in public though.
