Favourite stim :)

I love doing a stim where I hunch my shoulders, and clasp my hands then hug my hands to my face. I was recently diagnosed as an adult, and have spent a lot of my life being embarrassed by my unusual mannerisms for some reason, but I honestly feel like that is my favourite stim. What is your favourite stim?

  • I have so many I enjoy! Visual stims, like those 3d magic eye pictures.  Soft stuff.  Deep pressure.  

    I have several with my fingers. Lining up my fingernails and rubbing my thumb back and forth over them.  Tucking my index finger into the skin between it and my thumb.  A new one I discovered recently but really enjoy the feel of is I make an O with my index finger and thumb, then put my middle finger on top of the fingernail of my little finger, and then move both pairs in circles like they're pedaling a bike.  I just discovered I was doing it while walking one day and it feels strange and good. 

    I took a picture as it's hard to explain!
