i'm sorry ur stims r bothersome.. :( fidget toys help me a lot, and also to find other ways to move- like when i feel the need to shake my hands but it hurts, i might just shake my fingers instead lol

I try to find the “least disruptive” stims. For me that has been a ring on my index finger that I can use as a fidget - most people don’t even notice. When I can’t use my ring , I count something silently - a tally mark each time a teacher says a specific word or how many people in the room are wearing a color or things like that. Another silent one that works for me is picking a category and going through the alphabet listing thinking of something for each letter in the category (example: category - fruit, apple, banana, cantaloupe…). When I have to be vocal, but don’t want to make noise I either whisper (if possible) or just mouth the words/sounds. I hope you find something that works for you.

Sorry…I don't know what stims are…but if you wanna calm down when you're stressed, try chewing gums. That helps me

Do you mean stims, like things you may do to calm yourself, or do you mean tics like involuntary twitches?

it's short for stimulators behavior, just about everyone has them actually :) tho neurodivergent people usually get stims very often since they can easily get disregulated or stressed
