Hand Smacking

Neurotypicals smack their flattened hands together, producing a sharp sound, as a form of stimming. In a frequent example of Mimicry Disorder, it is common for neurotypicals to spontaneously smack their hands simultaneously, sometimes in a rhythmic manner. The ensuing cacophony is intolerable for most people.
This behavior is distinct from that of cats, who sometimes smack the hands of both humans and neurotypical humans. A cat who smacks a human's hand is not exhibiting Hand Smacking Disorder.
