Poll Do You Fidget?

[Changing4Best]

I fidget with my foot or my legs, not so much my hands, I don't think so anyway. But it took me over 50 years to become AWARE of the foot, so who knows, but I might fidget with my hands too. I rock back and forth a lot too. One time my Therapist asked me if I was aware that I had been rocking. I wasn't. I have become aware of it since and it is quite often, especially if I am waiting for the bus or something.

I voted yes to constantly fidgeting, but this is because of my autism and isn't directly related to my PTSD...

I have PTSD and I work with kids with autism. I am a constant fidgeter. Do you feel the fidgeting has the same purpose both autism and ptsd?

 

[Abstract]

Relentless fidgetter here. If I am in an important situation where it isn't appropriate I just about explode attempting not to.

I'm always wiggling my toes or foot...sometimes I'll rub my first finger and thumb together. When I'm anxious I need to get it out physically.
