Just some examples of stimming. Self-stimulatory behaviour gives autistic individuals control over sensory stimuli & a way to regulate their emotions. Unless it's dangerous to someone's health it shouldn't be discouraged as it's a vital method of self-regulation #AutismAcceptance
ALT The word Stimming is the central title surrounded by the following text: Pacing. Rocking. Hand flapping. Skin chewing. Staring / zoning out. Rearranging items. Smelling something. Dancing. Watching or listening to the same thing over and over. Humming. Swinging. Chewing or gnawing on something. Fidgeting with an object. Bouncing and wiggling. Tapping feet. Cracking joints.

This has certainly gone so far under the radar it might be subterranean! Carers and their rights need to be seen as high priority @SG_CarersPolicy - let this strategy be seen!
With everything else going on at the moment, I suspect the publication of Scotland's National Carers Strategy this morning may fall under the radar for many folk... gov.scot/isbn/9781805253037-
