For neurodiverse people, of course not.
That was pretty much what I meant. I figured it's a thing NDs will have to make note of each time (personally I don't categorise NDs as only autistics* and as well as that, there are those who are termed NT who have conditions which cause this to become an issue too).
Why did stimming come into this, btw? As well as that, I've heard that some stims aren't as noticeable, some don't do it often enough to be noticed even if a ND, and even some NTs stim although not to the same degree.
*Bipolar spectrum, schizo disorders, other such conditions

so many people have trained hard not to stim in public.
Sorry, missed this first time round but want to ask: do you think an undiagnosed child would train themselves that way and also to avoid punishment, repressing the whole idea of stims and hurting themselves emotionally (maybe physically) over the years because they learned not to? I seem to remember stims and remember in particular getting complained at for my legs. I have C-PTSD black out on memory though and as the assessment gets nearer, I'm worried I won't "stim enough" for their liking. I do several ones a lot in those situations anyway, without helping it much; common one is to rub my knees or rock a bit.
