People with autism spectrum disorders stim as a way of calming themselves or helping them focus. Whether it will hurt the child depends on the stimming activity. If the child rocks back and forth, it probably will not hurt him or her. If the child bangs his head against the wall repeatedly, it could be harmful.

A gift for an Autistic child doesn't have to be different to what you would give a neurotypical child, it depends on if they are severely effected by their autism or not.

No, not necissarily.
