We usually think of stimming as something that only people on the autism spectrum do, such as rocking their bodies back and forth, flapping their hands, or repeating words.
But stimming is actually something that we all do to an extent - think twirling your hair, doodling, bouncing your leg, or fiddling with a pen between your fingers.
Thank you, Patty, for this positive explanation on how stimming works and the information we can learn from it.
