How do I deal with constant need to stim?
hi, I’m actually not autistic but I think that ppl with autism with have more experience with this. I have been picking up the habits of stimming since I was a kid. Like walking mindlessly around the house, feeling texture of stuff, etc. However, recently I have been stimming by picking my ears or my lips to the point it was bleeding. It really affects my life since I usually get distracted by it while doing whatever else I need to do. It also affected my grades since I can’t focus and constantly picking my ears.
I have seen that ppl use stim toys for it but I don’t really have access to it since I don’t have money and there’s aren’t any place that sell these where I live. Can anyone give me advice for this?
