Here's a music related stim. I move my jaw in cadence with the music, not quite fully clicking my teeth together (at most the lightest possible tap) - therefore there is no wear or damage to dental work. This is a very old stim, I've been doing it as long as I can remember (40 plus years).

Sometimes I'll do this stim even when there is no music other than the music in my head! :twisted:

I stim to my music by drumming along on my legs.

When i see people sitting still at a concert I think "why are they wasting a seat if they aren't into it?"

I love to see others enjoying the music, there's nothing worse then sitting next to a stuffed shirt that looks comotose at a concert!

And when I'm home alone with the stereo on, it's game on baby!

And lets not forget dancing in my seat while driving with my fav. cd's playing. Yummy!

One of the few times I sit still is when I listen to music.

Interesting. I also have to stim sometime when i listen to music. Music can have a very big effect on me. I never do that around people thought. I feel like some musics are really realeasing my imagination which makes me trim. I think what you describe here is a specific sort of triming, very different from the way i do it thought.

Dude, that's who I am when I'm listening to music as well! The only difference is that I pace in my room while fiddling with a rubber wristband I bought. That helps me imagine even more!!

Same for me.
