[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 315109, member: 1963"] The hand motions or spinning are what are called 'stims'. Us folks on the spectrum sometimes have trouble getting ourselves centered on our bodies especially after having been stressed (that can include fun stress). I am 49 years old and on the spectrum myself. I STILL have stims. I've learned how to control the left hand waving by sticking it behind my back and wriggling it where the chair back hides it. My weird foot stimulant where I cross my ankles and feet and rub them together isn't gone, but I can mostly keep that under control when out and around, On my own? Full speed ahead. It's my house and my feet and I can do weird things with my feet if I want to! Stims can be thought of as a repetitive self-soothing behavior. [/QUOTE]
