Autism Stimming

Stimming is a term used to describe self-stimulating behaviors in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). These behaviors, including repetitive physical or verbal tics, help manage emotions like anxiety, fear, and excitement and reduce sensory overload. However, they can become disruptive and interfere with everyday life. To manage stimming, parents and caregivers can engage them in vigorous exercise, use stimming as a reinforcer or reward after playful interaction, and encourage participation in the stim. TalktoAngel is a platform that offers support and guidance for individuals with ASD to manage stimming behaviors. Stimming behaviors can help manage emotions, reduce sensory overload, and stimulate "underactive" senses. Strategies to manage stimming include vigorous exercise, using stimming as a reinforcer or reward after playful interaction, and providing support to change behavior if it becomes compulsive or poses a risk of injury. TalktoAngel's experienced therapists can offer strategies and techniques to address stimming and promote overall well-being.
