How should I try to calm myself down? Before finding AS, I called this state of excitement regarding what I recognize as a special interest celerity, and it manifests as an uncontrollable desire to make large, fast, and repetitive motions such as rotating a chair or waving arms. Flapping is not a very good option because of the paper on the floor, so what should I do?
Personally, i'm of the opinion that it's not actually meditating that matters per se. Learning to meditate forces you to learn certain techniques which can be used to manipulate your mental and emotional state that may help you control things like this.
I know it works for me, I don't know if it'd work for you.
