I'm not exactly sure. The idea of stimming has been a new concept entirely for me since coming here. :P

I guess I do sort of make sure that the Nunchuck's wire is plugged in securely to the Wiimote more often than necessary, but I think that's more just an annoyance. Whoever thought it would be a good idea to have wires coming from the bottoms of controllers should be put in prison.

Often. Usually just repetitive noise-making (humming, etc.) or knee-bouncing.

Does knee bouncing count as stimming? Seems like normal people do that...

Yeah, I often lick my lips etc. when I play, but I haven't thought about it until now.

Yes and no.

I stim while I play videogames, but that's no different from how I usually act, so it's not like the games are causing me to stim.

Usually I rock back and forth while I'm waiting for the game to load.

I dont usually bounce my leg...I thought, but when I think about it, I do it when both hands are busy on my computer. While I play a game, or when I type alot. But ..where is the limit for what is stimming and what is just an ordinary quirk?

Btw, here's a nice visual stim for ya; http://blueballfixed.ytmnd.com/

Probably not, unless constantly wiping your hands dry because they sweat too much counts.
