Greetings all

My name is Aharon.

What became shocking for me is when I found the term "finger flipping." What came before, for years, was wrist squeezing, and then various other forms of tactile auto-stimulation (of hands, arms, and face).

For all these years, I had no idea what I was doing with my fingers, especially the ring fingers. I've been diving into The Complete Guide to Asperger's. Some of the realizations have been shocking, especially the combination of various Special Interests (LEGO: 7 years as child; philosophy (Wittgenstein, Spinoza, Camus; analytic philosophy for my BA degree); human conversation; music listening; long distance running, primarily) with the habit of "flipping." Most importantly: futball. I also believe that I turned my "flipping" into an odd kind of acoustic guitar fingerstyle technique.

My goal? In truth, to become (a|the first) terraformer. I am a Front-end (and Python) Web Developer by trade.

I now wear hairbands around my wrist to modulate the sensations of my hands. Various habitual "touching" habits have been decreased. I wear neoprene gloves to decrease finger popping (which has been so systematic that I have, at 27, swollen knuckles).

I am practicing psychonautics. I have experienced MDMC, shrooms, and frequently smoke hydro weed (for recreational use: less than 2grams a day, roughly every other day).

Cheers,
nerdfiles
