Something about Stimming

Stimming... Something that majority of Autistic children do. There are different ways such as verbal stimming, physical stimming. What does your child do? 

Stimming is shown to be a way of a child to express their excitment over something. For an example: Hand flapping or clapping, making noises as they are getting happy with something. 

Sometimes it could be a child going in circles, jumping up and down.  My son does the hand gestures as well as the noise he makes, almost like a unique way of growling. Here is an example of a way my son stim's playing with the camera on a cell phone lol. At least I know he is happy! 












On that note... My son is done with Summer school! His last day is today which is wonderful. Can't believe he will be going to Kindergarden in Sept! But he does love school.
