Hey, so I'm new to learning about a lot of my behavior being on the spectrum. I have been going back over my behavior trying to decide if what I'm doing is stimming or not.
I keep touching my face... A lot. And I realized that I've done that a lot through my life. I will run my fingers over my forehead, then put my hand on my cheek. Rub my cheek, then touch or pick at my lip. It's all very subtle. I probably appear bored. But I notice I do it when I'm sitting in public or studying. Very nervous habit
I'm also doing this thing when I lay in bed where I'll put my left hand in the air and just let my hand dangle there. It feels comforting in this subtle way I don't know, but I've been doing it since college. Are these stims or am I thinking too hard about it?
