Im a flapper, but not much in public accept for if i laugh real loud in excitement. people are like what the? My major deal is sitting at the computer watch concert or guitar videos and guys tearing guitar up all over the fretboard, AKA shredding. Im a guitar player and people call me eddie van halen and a shredder. but i get REALLY excited when i see others do stuff i cant! ill sit in the computer chair and flap and rock back and forth 8O

Sounds like you're having a grand old time.

Don't be too rough on the computer, though!

I think I've only flapped once that I remember.
I was happy and excited about something.
Interesting thing though ...
on Facebook yesterday, I was watching a video of
a distant young relative of mine who I think shares my last name.
He was definitely flapping,
just enjoying a moment with family,
showing off his reading skills.

Yep, but I only do it in public when I'm rock climbing. Hand flapping is considered normal for a climber, its called 'shaking out' and is supposed to improve blood flow to the forearms but in my case it's just an excuse to stim like crazy...

I need to stim before I climb otherwise I can't focus properly, it helps me to calm myself.

I like your avatar, even if it shows how atypical I am for someone on the spectrum. :D

As a musician you shake out any tension or stiffness and in body-work classes, you do the same - but yes, I flap frequently, when for some reason, an agitation or inner tension of some sort occurs, which is often.
