Didn't know if it was anxiety related or if more common in aspies but I twitch almost throughout the entire day. My legs muscles, forearms, calves etc. they are both rythmic and spastic.
Anyone else experience similar issues? |

I'm not just talking about while walking, It involves everything including when my hand, or hands are hanging off the edge of a surface such as a bed, table, etc.
It just feels odd like I need to be touching or feeling something.
Is thing is aspie thing or just specific to me? |

This one for me is a major sensory challenge. As soon as I hear that drill wine at high speeds it sends an electric shock-like sensation through my body. I actually wince during these moments.
