Stimming, or self stimulating, can be an important tool in regulating emotion as well as processing stimuli that might otherwise overwhelm a child. Please understand that the goal is not to stop this behavior, but rather to support it in a safe way by making sure the child can’t hurt themselves while stimming! The more we seek to know and understand autism, the better we can do to support our youth and educate others ❤️
