stimming behavior

**Stimming Behavior**

“Stimming behavior” refers to self-stimulatory actions or repetitive movements that individuals, often those on the autism spectrum, use to regulate sensory input, express emotions, or cope with overwhelming environments. Common examples include hand-flapping, rocking, spinning, or repeating sounds. Understanding stimming is important for fostering empathy and creating supportive spaces where neurodiverse behaviors are respected and accommodated.
