What is Stimming?


Listen Later

This week on the podcast, we are going to be talking all about stimming and autism. You may be here if you’re wondering ‘What is stimming?’ or ‘What does it look like?’

If so, you’re in the right place. In this podcast episode I’m going to be talking about;

  • What is stimming?
  • Who stims?
  • Why do we stim?
  • Common stims
  • Links to senses
  • Changes in behaviors
  • Medical stims
  • Stimming is a self-stimulating behaviour. And this can usually involve a repetitive movement or sound. It can be different for everyone. And you don’t have to be diagnosed with autism in order to stim – you may even be doing it yourself!

    I hope you find this podcast episode full of helpful information for you to learn more about stimming. As well as how to support your students who display self-stimulating behaviors.

    Do you have experience of stimming? Do you have something helpful that you could share with our listeners? Or do you have a question? If so, leave a comment down below. We love to hear from you!

    If you found this podcast helpful, please consider sharing it with your friends and colleagues – we would really appreciate your share!
