self-stimulation
Self-stimulation, also known as self-soothing or self-regulation, is behavior in which an individual stimulates their own senses, emotions, or physical state for personal satisfaction or comfort. It can be a natural response to stress, anxiety, or discomfort and can occur across a spectrum of behaviors from healthy and innocuous (e.g., twirling hair, tapping feet) to extreme or potentially harmful (e.g., self-harm behaviors). It is also often seen in children with autism and other developmental disorders as a way to calm or entertain themselves.
