Hi, since I'm very young I rub my hands and fingers against each other while I hop around in my room and in the same I walk and fidget very intensely. Generally I do that while listening to music. I have strong imaginative activation when I do that> I think about situations or ideas.
I have been diagnose with dyslexia but I think it's more than that.

I have been doing that for all my life, I'm now 28 yours old and still doing that regularly, especially when I'm tired.

COuld you please tell me if heard/lives that?

Thanks JB

Note english is not my first langage so it's possible the words i used here are not the best to describe this behaviour.

i flap my fingers with the speed of lightening and pace back and forth in my room. used to walk very fast, non stop, when i was younger and had the strength... i have very good imagination too and i think about situations and ideas too and music gets me thinking as well.
i have asperger syndrom, ocd, hyperactivity, learning disability, phobias, general anxiety and social phobias.
been doing it all my life too, whether i'm tired or not. nice to know someone else experiences something pretty much alike.

Very interesting, would it be possible that we exchange videos of that? I mean I know it's very private for me, never ever saw me doing that. But I think it's important. I'm wondering if I have asperger in a mild form. I have pretty much everything you have but I about the overwin social phobia and I had other phobia than social. What do you do in life?
