I'm starting a virtual ledger of all the stim songs that come and go in my brain. I find I usually get stuck on one or two that I could listen to on repeat for a few weeks at a time. I do have a stimming playlist and the songs that make it onto that always work for me, but I'd be interested to see the change over time, whether old favourites return or not, and whether there's a pattern to it.

So I'm going to pin this and see what happens
There's always a slight chance my ADHD will forget that my autism has hyperfixated on this, of course. 😆

I'll use the hashtag #StimmingPlaylist so I guess you can follow along if you want? And feel free to share your stimming songs/music as well! 😊

Here are a few examples of songs that are already on my list, here you go:

- "Dos Oruguitas" from the movie Encanto was a long-lasting favourite last winter, I think
- Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper: "Shallow"
- "Limón y sal" by Julieta Venegas: no idea how I came across it, barely understand it, but it scratches an itch
- Billie Eilish, "Happier than ever", the latter part really hits the spot
- "Landslide" in many versions has been on the list for at least a decade, long before I realised I was autistic and that I was stimming through music, same thing with
- "Total eclipse of the heart" (Bonnie Tyler) and
- "Iris" (Goo Goo Dolls)
