stim

means 'a very small amount' (lexic.us). It can also mean 'any of various repetitive actions, such as flapping the hands, wiggling the knees, shining a light into one's eye, and spinning in a chair, typically performed by autistic people' (Wiktionary). According to Wiktionary, it can also be used as a verb meaning to perform one of these actions. However, the inflected verbal forms (stimmed, stimming) are not currently in SOWPODS.

Variations: stim, stims.
