I've never been able to figure out why a lot of you guys call repetitive motion tapping, etc.. 'stim' ing! What are you stimulating?


GOT ME! I just call it a stim because it is in line with what everyone else calls a stim. I guess the psychiatric industry does the same.

So basically repetitive motion done seemingly habitually, but not, that is controllable. It starts out automatically though. In a way, it is almost like breathing in that breathing just happens, but can be controlled. ***PERSONALLY*** I would probably call such a thing, like stimming, that ISN'T controllable either a tic or seizure, depending on duration.
