Is it normal to clap your hands whenever you think hard?

For however long I can remember whenever I would think hard I would start to clap my hands. Sometimes I would do other things like hitting my wrist with my fist or slapping/punching my walls. Is this normal? Should I get tested?

    this sounds like stimming: repeatedly doing an action over and over. plenty of people do it, though it’s more common in neurodivergent people than neurotypicals.
