Description

Have you ever seen your child flap their hands, rock back and forth, or repeat sounds—and wondered why? In this episode of Angel’s Awesome Mind, we take a deep dive into stimming—a common behavior among autistic children.

We explore:

  • What stimming really is

  • Why kids on the spectrum engage in repetitive behaviors

  • How stimming helps with emotions, sensory input, and communication

  • When it may become a concern

  • Supportive strategies for parents and caregivers

Instead of trying to stop these behaviors, we talk about how to understand, support, and create safe spaces for healthy stimming. This episode is filled with empathy, insights, and practical tips every parent should hear.
