Bullcrap it is! So he's going to say that whatever autistic people do, which is often shared between them and is unique and odd, cannot qualify as stimming? These things that us autistic people have been saying we do, such as shirt biting and sucking, were described by us in this topic as not having to do with anxiety. So if they're not stimming since they're not based on anxiety, propose a new name for those actions for us!

I used to make all sorts of weird noises I would suck my thumb excessively as a child until I was five then it was mostly at night to fall a sleep now as some of you have posted the shirt chewing seems to be a thing for most of you I realized I did that a lot too when I was a child this is crazy the stuff I am now noticing this may be helpful in my diagnosis thanks everyone.
