Sharing some ways I stim, responding to the video of "What is Stimming?" by the YouTube channel Ask an Autistic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WexCW... (this video is more detailed)
BLOCKING BAD INPUT WITH GOOD INPUT!
I didn't mention stimming is also used for sensation seeking.
Some ways of stimming mentioned:
hand flapping
visual & tactile (stones, dice, glitter, squishy)
essential oils
scents
weighted blankets
A note on ABA: I can see that ABA is changing for the better. I am commenting on my experiences and hearing stories of those who have suffered through terrible ABA practices in the past. If you practice ABA now, please feel free to share what it is like.
