  18. I'd say if it's not hurting anything, leave it alone.  I've even seen an
  19. article somewhere (don't ask me to find anything right now; I'm trying to
  20. get ready to move) reporting on a study that found high-functioning
  21. autistic people performed better on tasks when they were engaging in
  22. self-stim than when they were suppressing it.
