The virbrating thing! I do that. I was never sure how to describe it, ha. But it's almost like a whole body thing for me when I'm excited. I sing and hum to stim, also meow, and do small wiggles when happy. Small "ee" noises. Let's see, what else... Shaking my leg, rubbing my arm when out and about around others, holding myself in some way and rocking.

My favorite stim is rocking! When I don't live with my roommate imma get a rocking chair or something! (She already has one so we don't need another rn) I also hand flap or hold my hands in a fist and do a similar motion, for tics I get head twitches, sudden arm movements those usually hurt :( and my social tics come and go but for a while it was going "EEE EEE" I thought I sounded like a monkey but my partner said it's closer to a guinea pig

I also tend to laugh loud or squeal when I'm excited. I tend to rub my fingers together or twist a lock of my hair when nervous or bored

Mine are hand flapping and I tend to squeeze my fingers with my another hand if that makes sense.

I have kind of a stimulation technique that involves drawing in the air. Apparently, according to my parents, I have drawn in the air for many years, ever since I was little. I feel like that's almost kind of a stimulation technique that really helps. I don't know, it might just be part of me having autism. I don't know.

My most common stim is snapping, a lot of the time I don't notice I'm doing it and it's not loud snaps I'll just be snapping away When I get really stressed I rub my arms, when I'm upset sometimes I smack my head repeatedly which isn't fun :")

I also do the head twitch with like loud noises like when my dog barks, I do the vibration thing but for me it's actually when I'm stressed or I just feel like I'm gonna burst! I also rub my wrists together or rub my chest and neck a lot

My stims are rocking, pulling my ears, hand flapping, picking my lips, playing with my fingers, and sucking on my thumb

Verbally? I make this almost gargling-with-air sound. Kinda sounds like a throaty version of rolling your 'r's, or like a cross between a pigeon coo and Chewbacca. When I'm nervous or awkward I accidentally started saying "beep boop" very quietly to myself. Physically I just bite my nails a lot. Im forgetting my other ones honestly.
