Yes, but not around other people. If I'm alone and I get really excited about something it just bubbles up and I do some quick hand-flapping motion.

| I'm 15 and when being excited in private, I would stand up, walk/jump around and do some handflaps. I don't do it around other people though. |

| In private I flap and clap my hands, I smack my hands against my thighs and I squeal or make animal noises (kittens and birds). I rarely flap (or do any of these other things) in public, only when I'm really excited and cannot contain myself. |

| I'm 19 and do that as well as another type of stim in conjunction. Usually when I'm excited or intrigued by something. Also when stressed out. When shocked or kind of hurt/offended, I sometimes don;t realize it til a little later, but I'll crouch down and make myself really compact. And then I'll just stare at a particular thing while zoning out for a bit. This is like I said more of a hurt kind of offended. An angry offended will just make me do my more rapid stuff |

I flapped more than a little after the SAT.
Generally, the behavior has become nothing more than twisting my watch around the hand.

| i do it in private when i'm excited or stressed out. standing on my toes happens when i am stressed out in public :S and i have managed to reduce my excessive hand flapping to minute finger flicking when i am stressed in public. at work i often finger flick and over xmas (when i was majorly stressed) i found myself clicking my tongue as well as finger flicking...hand flapping only happens when i am extremely excited. |

I'm 17 and I still handflap  I try and do it in private because people make fun of me for it and I do it when I get excited or when I'm looking up things about my special interest. And it does feel amazing! |

| I still hand flap, too. I try not to do it in public so much, but if I get really super excited about something, I end up doing it anyway. There are a few people I can hand flap around and not be made fun of or stared at, and it feels really good to be able to hand flap when I want or need to. Other than hand flapping, I tap my toes or jig my leg or tap my fingers or pens instead of flapping my hands, but if I get too emotional or excited, sometimes I might do several of the above at the same time. |

I used to have therapy as a kid where I had this wristband that had weights that taught me to not hand flap, so now I just twitch my fingers.
