Does suppressing stims cause tics?
Yes potentially, I used to tic in school. We need to express ourselves in some way so if we can’t stim for whatever reason then tics are an involuntary way of showing our emotions.
Thinking about this now I’m actually quite annoyed with my teachers. Rather than try to understand and help they chose to scold and humiliate. I really hope teachers are more aware now.
