And the amount of “omg I stimmed in this public place!” That are then videos of them just being dicks and pretending that this “uncontrollable movement” knocked something over.
And the amount of patently fake DID tiktoks, ugh. I moved over to YouTube shorts mostly for other reasons but there are way less of those things going on there.

I knock over shit with uncontrolled movement all the time, but I’m not gonna pretend that it’s either stimming or uncontrollable. It’s just the usual “brain lost track of one sub-process of movement again” that happens with ADHD.
My stimming is usually bouncing my leg, tapping a rhythm on something or unconsciously mouthing the lyrics of some song. I’m aware particularly the latter may be disconcerting to some people, but it’s a far cry from being a dick.
