LET ME STIM BRO!
Stimming can be a variety of behaviors from subtle to full body movement or making sounds.
It is a way to
✅ Regulate sensory input by adding necessary stimuli
✅Regulate sensory input by drowning out outside stimuli
✅Regulate emotions and the sensations that come with them
✅Help with focus
✅Releases endorphins.
Unless it results in bodily harm (like head banging), stimming should NOT be stopped , controlled, or restricted.
The stigma around stimming is obsurd and unacceptable, especially considering we all stim on a regular basis (check out last week’s post for examples).
