I like to pull the corner of my phone case off and snap it back on

Finding a soft lock of my hair and twirling it around my fingers. Both for the softness and the gentle tugging at my scalp. And as a bonus it’s fairly socially acceptable.

Not exactly my favorite, but my most done is biting/peeling my lips.

Stretching is probably my favorite. Like those good ones after waking up

• jiggling pectoral or glute muscles (usually to music)
• opening and closing the lid of an inhaler
• grinding the folded tags in clothing
• stroking beard
• peeling top layer of skin off finger nails
• plucking overly long eyebrow hairs

Bouncing my foot, rocking, or playing with my hair

Probably shaking my leg slightly, or stretching

There’s been a song stuck in my head for as long as I can remember (decades) that only comes out of the recesses of my brain when I’m alone, and I hum it over and over. Usually this is during driving or focusing on coding. Kinda frustrating that I don’t even know if it’s a real song or just something my brain is doing for fun. (It sounds a bit like the civil war song, When Johnny Comes Marching Home, I guess?) I’m too self-conscious to do it around other people.

Toys. I have a speedcube and several Transformers by my computer at all times.

Usually when I notice I’m doing something (stroking my beard or moving my legs are the most common ones) and I have to be discreet, I try to focus on moving my toes

me, a person who’s recently begun to suspect i might be autistic:

óoooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

yep.

• Walking/pacing around the room in circles (I do this very often)
• Shaking my legs
• Twirling my hair
