abstract
  • Stimming is one of the symptoms listed by the DSM IV for autism, although it is observed in about 10 percent of non-autistic children. A few autistic people have no stims. Common forms of stimming among autistic people include hand flapping, body spinning or rocking, lining up or spinning toys or other objects, echolalia, perseveration, and repeating rote phrases. There are many theories about the function of stimming, and the reasons for its increased incidence in autistic people. For hyposensitive people, it may provide needed nervous system arousal, releasing beta-endorphins. For hypersensitive people, it may provide a "norming" effect, allowing the person to control a specific sense, and is thus a soothing behavior. It can also serve as a way to communicate, or to calm down. Stimming is a natural behavior that can improve emotional regulation and prevent meltdowns in stressful situations.
