Hi people.

Everytime I listen to a favourite song I HAVE to sit there and rock/sway from side to side, or if I'm in public I have to tap my hands on my knees, tap my feet, tap the dashboard or rail if it's on a bus and train and most of all I find this incredibly annoying and would like some advice as to how to stop this, I'm not ASD either.

Tha tis because it is a song you like and it makes you feel good. :)

Me :D

I really think that this is an okay thing. You may just 'Feel" music more than some people, so the beat comes out as a physical response. If what your doing drives you or others crazy, try to come up with a replacement movement for when you feel the urge. I actually use a tounge movement (like a silent tuh tuh duh). I "hear" music in my head a lot if the radio is not on... The trick is to give your self something socially acceptable that works...not change who you are and the things that give you pleasure.

as someone in the forum pointed out... rocking feels good, so one rocks to feel good.

Me :D
