Stimming calluses?

Post Reply New Topic

Does anyone else have them?

I have calluses on the top finger joints of my index fingers, and less pronounced ones on my ring fingers from clapping and rubbing my hands in my slightly more grown up and restrained, toned down version of flapping.

i have callouses all over my body but from biting or sucking like i sucked on my skin then bit it, i know sounds weird haha

I have quite a few myself.

Yes, I have stimming calluses---fingers---and now the doctor tells me I have Psoriasis---since this past summer. I don't know if the years of finger flapping have caused this or not.

i'm sorry but i don't understand, what exactly is stimming? could someone please describe in depth the act of stimming?

I don't, but my son does on his thumb. The opposite of his nail, the whole top part. He said it was greenish so he quit for a while and now it's turning back to callus looking color. He bites his thumb while playing video games.

I have a largish permanent callus-like thingy on the outside of my right index finger where I used to dig my right thumbnail into it. It might win a prize if this was a contest . I had others when I was younger, but they seem to have disappeared as my stimming became more controlled over time.

I have a large patch of callus on the right side of my left foot. I rub it with my right foot.

I found 3 calluses going up and down my palms about 6 months ago, I am in my 30’s, and I don’t do anything laborious enough to cause calluses on my hand, so I started paying attention to everything that touched my palms consistently… I noticed it was from me opening and closing my hands throughout the day. I started doing research and that has jump started my autistic journey.

I suppose if playing the guitar is a form of stimming, I qualify. Couldn't play without them. I think playing music is to a degree a kind of stimming because the hand movements are repetitive and rhythmical, and I think it reduces stress, especially if I play tunes I've already mastered.

I have calluses on the upper part of my palms, just below where my fingers begin. They're from deadlifting. I'm a woman and I deadlift heavy and hard. I don't consider it stimming, though, but it's very unusual for women to have calluses in this area.
