Great post from Occupational Therapy ABC

Stimming is an important coping mechanism which helps aid regulation. Stimming often involves repetitive movements, see above examples. Stimming can also be very unique to each individual child.

The DSM-5 includes stimming as part of the diagnostic criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder: “Stereotyped or repetitive motor movements, use of objects, or speech.”

It’s important to note, no one can stop self-stimulatory behavior completely. Secondly, even if one stim can be removed, it will be replaced by another.
