Welcome

We're here to act as a reference for anyone interested in what it's like to have a complex motor sterotypy (CMS). Please feel free to take a look through our Q&A where we have answered questions posed to us. If you have any questions of your own that we didn't answer, just let us know.

What is CMS? What is IIM?

Complex Motor Sterotypies (CMS) are repetetive movements, usually involving the arms and hands, that happen without concious thought from the person doing them.

Intense Imagery Movements (IIM) are a subcategory of CMS which involve visualizing vivid imaginary scenarios along with the movements.

Who are We?

We are people with CMS. A group of adults and teens who have an insider's perspective of what having CMS is actually like, and want to help educate others about it.

I see a lot of fear and confusion from parents of kids with CMS, and I'd like to dispel some of that if I can. My CMS is a part of me, and I want other people to be able to embrace theirs too. - Liz Brager
