conclusion I’ve come to:

rootbeerqueen:

(nearly) all of my stimming is in my feet.

Is anyone else like this?

I have a friend whose stimming is all feet or legs or hands held very low. She attributes it to getting whapped by nuns in Catholic school whenever she stimmed higher up. The only things that survived (except under great stress) can be hidden under a desk. But when for some reason she’s prevented from stimming down low, suddenly she has to rock or something. It’s like she has to do it somewhere. So she learned to do it in places that can be hidden, except when that’s impossible. I bet lots of other people learn that sort of thing even without being abused.

    Although I was never hit or yelled at (I didn’t grow up knowing), I think it probably manifests itself this way so...
