Didn't know if it was anxiety related or if more common in aspies but I twitch almost throughout the entire day. My legs muscles, forearms, calves etc. they are both rythmic and spastic.

Anyone else experience similar issues?

I have a head twitch, although I also have a diagnoses of mild tourettes so it might not be autism related.

Yeah my head twitches a bit. Not very noticeably, but I can feel it. It's very annoying sometimes. My arm sometimes twitches as well.

My face twitches sometimes. I dont know if it is Autism related though. It is very annoying also I make hand gestures all the time like a thumbs up or a peace sign. I read once somewhere that this a symptom of Aspergers I am not sure how common this is.

I do but they're not very noticeable or anything.

The finger next to my thumb on my left hand used to twitch quite a lot but it's stopped now. :scratch:

My left eye twitches a little occasionally. Dunno if it's a twitch but somehow I make a weird squeak noise without meaning to and I can feel that one coming and I don't like it.

Why they're there I have no idea. Never thought much of them because they're so tiny and insignificant. Does everyone have them?

Sometimes when I'm nervous, bored or excited I'll move my leg up and down but it is controllable, I can stop if I want to.

It's very likely to be dyspraxia, it could be mild or more severe. Do you do some or all of the following?

- Bump into objects and walls
- Have trouble getting in and out of the car
- Walk funny or differently (other people would tell you)
- Walk flat footed or duck footed
- Have shaky hands
- Have problems doing exercise

I theorize that autism and tics are closely related. I have been diagnosed mild Tourettes (comorbidity) and have autistic friends who tick under stress or for obscure reasons.

My siblings seem to have an immunity for it despite statistics.

I do experience twitching in my arms and legs once in a while.
