Ever wondered how to talk about autistic stimming to people who don't understand? In this Autism Q&A, I talk my thoughts on how to talk about stimming from the perspective of an autistic adult.
But also this is a Autism Q&A, so I also talk about autism meltdowns, growing up with an autism diagnosis, autism special interests etc. But I answer more personal questions about my wedding and how I'm dealing with the situation.
If you have a question for this, leave it in the comment section as I'll be doing these autism Q&A frequently.

Stimming or self-stimulatory behaviour by definition can be a repetitive autism behaviour for autistic people to feel stimulated. Whether its because they are understimulated (hyposensitive) or overstimulated (hypersensitive). These 5 autistic stims are just a few broad examples of behaviours that an autistic person may exhibit. Stimming is not exclusive to autism as it appears in those with ADHD, Aspergers, anxiety etc as well as neurotypicals/non-autistics.
Now I realise that these 5 autistic stims some autistic people may not do & that there are other types of stimming out there. I decided to cover 5 types of stims which the majority of autistic people show as this video is for people to identify autism stimming either for themselves/someone they know.
The 5 autism stims I cover in the video are:
Verbal stimming
Taste/Smell stims
Oral stimming
Visual stimming
Tactile stimming
