-Tapping with fingers or objects

-Repeating useless phrases, sounds or parts of songs

    I have quite a few, I guess different situations allow for different stims

    My most common are:
    - Foot tapping
    - Dancing randomly (work just has to get used to that lol)
    - Singing songs that always seem to be in my head (lion king, lord of the rings etc.)
    - Listening to one song on repeat for days/weeks
    - Playing with my fingers/stretching them, contorting them, wiggling them
    - Bouncing along paving stones or stone patterned things, going diagonal, or skipping 1 set each step things like that.
    - Scratch my skin when I get really stressed (found this strange scrunchy thing that feels awesome to play with)
    - Flapping my hands
