Within autism self-stimulation or "stimming" is repetitive stimulation of the senses as a means of calming the autistic person.
People with autism are more sensitive to sensory stimulation, for example in a room of people an autistic person wouldn't be able to differentiate between different conversations and so will be faced with a wall of noise, which can be difficult to cope with. Stimming provides one strong repetitive sensory input that the autistic person can focus on, thus allowing them to block out other sensory input.
Examples of stimming include;
- Rocking
- Tapping
- Rubbing hands
- Humming
- Hitting
