Autistic Hedgehog
RSSI stim when I'm under stress, or overloaded, or tired; (or board); a lot of my stims are rhythmic repetitive hand and arm motions, or fiddling with things. A few weeks ago it occurred to me that something I do that I've never classed as a stim is essentially repetitive hand motions (that chill me out and distract from external stimuli)... just with a pair of needles, and when I finish I have more knitwear than when I started. Can knitting be a stim?
I don’t see why not. Like you said, it’s a repetitive hand motion that relaxes you and keeps your mind off the stimuli around you. Okay, unlike many stims you could potentially make some profit off it on Etsy, but I don’t think that really disqualifies it. If it works for you, it works.
