🎙️ STIMMING ♿️

TYPES OF STIMMING

Stimming, or self-stimulatory behavior, refers to repetitive movements, sounds, or actions that help individuals manage emotions, sensory experiences, and stress.

Common types include hand flapping, rocking, spinning, finger tapping, humming, repeating words or phrases, and playing with objects or textures.

Stimming is often associated with autism but can occur in people of all ages and backgrounds. It may help individuals cope with overwhelming environments, express excitement, improve focus, or find comfort during stressful moments. Everyone stims differently, and these behaviors can serve important personal needs.
