Stimming, or self-stimulatory behavior, is a repetitive and often rhythmic action that individuals use to regulate their sensory experiences and emotions. In the context of anxiety, stimming can have several beneficial effects- it is also super calming. Discovering the calming rhythm of stimming: a powerful tool that gently guides anxious thoughts towards tranquility. #stimming #millenialmom #millennials #ptsdrecovery #ptsdawareness #stimming #mentalhealthmatters #fyp #viralreels | Ashleigh Calh

Why does my autistic child spin in circles? Why does this happen? Vestibular stimming behaviours include spinning, twirling and body rocking. These movements affect the vestibular sensory system and, like other stimming behaviour, may provide a necessary sensory input and help children with ASD feel alert, #calm or to stay organised. Children with ASD may engage in certain types of stimming behaviours, and spinning can be one of them. #fbreels #fbreelsvideo #toddlermom #autismfamilies #autismfam
