Stimming

(Please note that I am extremely forgetful of late and my short term memory is very poor.  Therefore, I might have already made a similar posting to this one.  Please accept my apologies for duplication.) 

In terms of stimming, the following appears to be my forms of stimming (some may be a bit hard to explain without witnessing me doing it)...

Putting my left hand on my forehead, when trying to remember something or concentrating, or when under pressure.

Rocking my head forward and back slowly, as if I am head-banging at an AC/DC concert (I done that as well!) 

Twisting my head and neck in a kind of circular or figure of eight motion (left/right/right/left)

Rocking back and forth. 

Talking my thoughts; not so much talking to myself, but telling and reminding myself what to do, for example "Oh yeah, I need to unjam the photocopier!" Rather than thinking the sentence in my head, I say it, which sounds like I am talking to myself. 

Picking my nose (disgusting, I know!  Is this stimming?) 

...May I please ask others how you stim?  (For want of a better expression!)  I am curious as to how other people with ASD stim.
