My favorite is to bounce my knees or swing my legs back and forth. I am 63 and while doing those things didn't get much attention when I was a child, seeing a grandma sitting in a wheel hair swinging her legs back and forth seems to cause others to look away. I do have 2 polished magnets. I will try taking them with me and fiddling with them. They don't make too much noise . . . 🙂

@lindaisling Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! We do what helps us feel comfortable. Just yesterday I was in a stressful situation, and suddenly very aware that those two silver bracelets on my left wrist were getting quite the workout!

Little things that we use to get through a period where we need to stim, are priceless, aren't they!
