This may sound a bit mad, But listening to Bob Marley in particular and other reggae music seriously relaxes me and stops me from stimming at all.
Listening to electronic punk and other high tempo music does the complete opposite, and can make me stim far more. |

If you;ve just awoken from being asleep, do you find your self not needing to stim? |
