Stimming is pretty much a repetitive body movement. The issue with crayon lables is eventually they run out, unless there's a steady supply of crayons. But close enough and autistic type behavior I have seen a lot of. Snapping crayons in half and quarters one afer the other is another common one. Along with rolling crayons with the palm on a desk or even better the face. Back and forth back and forth. Probably the best stim with crayons since it doesn't exhaust supplies haha.
Yeah, she stopped when she ran out of crayons lol

How can she do that for hours? Even with a box of 64 crayons, I'd still think she'd run out of crayons pretty quickly!

Thanks! I was just wondering since she has other traits too and autism runs in my family.
I was just wondering since she has other traits too and autism runs in my family.You probably already know this, but there are tests for kids that are similar to the AQ test for teens or adults.
Assuming you sister's between 3 and 11 years old, this one's intended to be taken by a parent on behalf of a child, but I don't see any reason it couldn't be a sibling instead of a parent.

We "had" a lot of crayons lol!
Thank you for the link
. She's doing alright in regards to functioning at the moment, so my parents probably won't seek professional help anytime soon, but it's good to be aware .
