Stimming/stimulatory behaviour

Scarlette

hi. I'm about to turn 16.

i was just wondering if anyone here has had, or has any experiences with self-stimulatory behaviours (repetitive behaviours) I do it a lot and I don't really know how to stop it and all of the autistic people I have asked have never done it.

  • I used to have a shawl when I was a kid which was basically my teddy, and I'd always do a movement with it which involved looping a frond of it over my finger and making it snag against hang nails by moving it back and forth. I still really like that feeling and do the same movement with any blankets or suitable clothing that's at hand now as a comfort.
