Does suppressing stims cause tics?
Possibly. I’ve had a lifelong problem with repeatedly clearing my throat, which is much worse when I can’t stim or pace. My psychologist said it was a tic.

Thank you
I do this and sometimes more than others. I really never thought that this could be related in anyway to stress/autism and stimming. This is another one for my ever growing list!
I have a friend who has the exact same tic. He is constantly clearing his throat to the point where it’s slightly annoying lol.
