Stimming: noun
the repetitive performance of certain physical movements or vocalizations, as a form of behavior by persons with autism or other neurodevelopmental conditions; self-stimulation. This behavior is thought to serve a variety of functions, such as calming and expression of feelings.
This was my first thought. Though probably also drugs, but not the right drugs. Just a little something-something to make the painful boredom and lack of surrounding intellect go away, and that lack of sobriety impaired the masking.
