We are always encouraging our autistic daughter to stim when she needs to for regulating her senses. Some stims can be physically harmful which we re-direct to a stim that is more appropriate.
What is stimming? According to Google: Stimming, or self-stimulating behavior, is the repetition of physical movements, sounds, words, or moving objects. It can involve one part of the body, the entire body, or an object. Stimming can serve a variety of purposes, including: Reducing anxiety and calming the individual, Coping with sensory overload, and Relieving physical discomfort.
