From flapping to tapping, autistic people use these actions help to help them cope with overwhelming situations, reduce anxiety, and even find joy in the rhythm and repetition. Rather than discouraging these stimming behaviors, we should encourage healthy habits that support self-regulation and comfort. Stimming, or self-stimulatory behavior, is a natural way for many autistic people to regulate their emotions, manage sensory input, and express themselves. It's time to drop the stigma around stimming and embrace it as an essential tool for well-being. It’s important to remember that stimming is not just a "quirk" – it’s a form of communication and a vital aspect of sensory processing. By embracing stimming, we support neurodiversity, encourage self-expression, and create a more inclusive world where every individual can engage with their environment in a way that works for them.
