I get this these nervous ticks, mostly when I'm around people sometimes. Mostly just arm and neck ticks, but it's minor. Is this related to autism? You people get this too?

edit: like I'm more likely to do it in public or if I'm around people because it makes me nervous sometimes. If I could stim everywhere without getting weird looks I would probably be less nervous.

Hate to be hypochondriac but it kind of resembles turretts, doesn't it? I really don't know. It's like social anxiety makes me tick sometimes.

I think it's quite common to have these nervous movements. I'm not sure how they divide them up between stims, tics and Tourette's
