Stimming by creating pressure on a body part(s). Some examples:

• sitting on your legs, feet or hands
• lying on your hands or arms
• jamming your hands or fists in your pockets
• wrapping up tightly in blankets
• wedging into small spaces
• having someone lie on you or put a lot of pressure on a body part
• wearing tight/constricting clothing
• piling heavy things, like couch cushions, on top of your body
• adopting a posture that creates pressure on a certain part of your body (like a Yoga shoulder stand)

I did not know these were considered stims and now I have a lot of new additional information

FAVORITE STIMS are pressure stims. This is also why I like to be the substrate in snuggle-piles. I tend to wedge myself down the back of couch cushions and stick my feet under people and sit on my hands. Dog-in-lap achieves similar and highly desired effect.
