Any teenagers who still hand flap?

Post Reply New Topic

I hand flap and toe walk. Everyone looks at me like I'm losing my mind. My ex-girlfriend is bewildered, but she deals with it.

I still hand flap and I'm a 16 year old guy with aspergers. I mostly do it out of boredom.

I, a high functioning autistic 12 year old love to flab. It lets me think. flap

I teeth grind more than I hand flap. But yeah... I teeth grind when I'm worried, hear loud noises or have a bad day, and sometimes when I disassociate. I hand flap when I'm really really excited and sometimes I walk on my toes too but I have to be VERY VERY VERY excited.

Yep, I do it too. I sometimes make some goofy sounds with my mouth when I flap too.

When in public though i tend to subconsciously turn it into more of an enthusiastic waving my hands as i talk thing cause lots of ppl are animated with their hands as they talk. I flap my hands when i hear good music -ive tricked myself into just believing its air guitar, but its flapping guised as air guitar. I play drum set and overactive hands makes for a good drummer. I also love jumping on the bed on my toes.
Heres another top of the world feeling: spin really fast for about 50 seconds and then lay down still with eyes closed..

And im 23. And ive decided im too old to continue caring about conformity. so i do what i want now.

I don't know if what I do would be considered "tooth grinding" but I find myself constantly pressing my upper canine tooth on the left side into my lower canine. There's a lot of give in the upper canine so it pushes in to the gum a little bit.

Also, I caught myself hand flap for the first time in a while. I was eating dinner, and everybody was talking about something gross and I said "ugh could we not talk about this during dinner" and did a little hand flap. It caught me off guard because I did it in front of my family.

I'm 18 and I still do that I also rub my hands excitedly through my hair when I'm in a very good mood or when something awesome is happening (eg if I get to a really good part of a book.)

I do this and I'm 17 going on 18 lol. I've done it sine I was 2-3. I put my thumb on top of the nail of my index finger and just flick it. I also hand flap. And I pace. And I twist my tongue in my mouth. And it's worse when I'm excited or drink caffeine (I'm caffeine sensitive).

I do this, too. I am 19.

I am 13, and I still do.

Well I don't really know, but I would consider it a personalised way of teethe grinding.

What I also do is move my maxilar left to right, up and down, but I don't consider it an aspie thing because since I had an accident at the age of 15 my mandibler feels odd sometimes and it gets hokeed to my maxilar. But I came to a point were I couldn't stop moving it and it was worrying me.
My mother didn't help with her grumbling.

I'm 15 and when ever I get really excited or happy I flap my hands, and if I really like something I curl my toes. I actually didn't even start flapping my hands till I was like 10, but I used to think every one curled their toes when they really liked something haha.

I hand flap, But now it's changing to really complicated finger tapping.

I actually got over this, and the occasional hand-clapping.
