Hi,
When I'm alone, I flap my hands, or rock, or pick on my skin, or jiggle my legs, or rub my thighs, or smell my crotch. Are these too many stims? Are any of these stims bad? Should I stop?

you must be very flexible 8O
I guess it depends on whether they prevent you from functioning.

How do you stop stimming?

My son rocks - he is 20 now and I doubt that he will ever stop - it is just part of him.

From what I have learnt from this site is there such a thing as too many stims?
