Stimming is different for everyone. It is very personal, every person who stits has their own unique stim. Some people repeat certain words in succession, flapping their hands, picking at skin, or chewing on clothes/fingers (Read more about biting and fidgeting). There are many ways to list. As I said, this is different for every person.
Stimming is a way of stimulating yourself, reassuring yourself, calming yourself. But it also helps to focus better. The ‘stimming’ can show itself in different forms, for example, flapping your hands, wiggling your feet, dancing, jumping, sucking on collars, tapping, humming. For a child with autism, everything can be a good sensory stimulus. Fidgeting, chewing or picking helps a child if it is overstimulated or if a child needs extra stimuli. The input of stimuli helps you deal with emotions, it helps you calm down, and relieves tension. Read more tips here to calm your child down in the event of a so-called ‘meltdown’.
The specific sensory stimuli can prevent or reduce overstimulation.
