I slap my hands and hit them together like a teacher would chalk erasers. (Closed and opened hand)

Usually when they are cold, I am about to get into a fight, or I am bored.

This isn't a thinking stim for me- maybe not even a stim to begin with.

No, I shake out my hands aka hand flap. Or I finger flap.

I slap my hands when one misbehaves, but not as a stim. I tap my fingers to my thumb as a stim though.

Yeah, I do it.

It's basically giving yourself a high five.
