>>6505632>They need to learn not to fidget and have self control.This is the definition of self-control. Self-control isn't self-denial, it's self-MASTERY. They are shunting an otherwise obtrusive and even possibly self-destructive impulse into a harmless, inobtrusive outlet, that through the peripheral nervous system even provides low-key stimulation that directly aids and *addresses* real neurological demands. This effect extends to fundamental principles of focus, distraction and simple boredom management common to techniques utilised by yoga, rosaries and kombolói, rhythm and music, etc., and in its milder forms is even entirely neurotypical. It's not a coping device, it's a proactive tool; kind of like you and your Victorian brand of non-psychology, if for entirely different reasons.
