Thank you very much😊
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.
Ok:) Thank you really much😊
Ok😊thank you. I’m going to try that:)
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
What are stims?
Yea i mean stims
