what is stimming?

Post Reply New Topic

I know stimming is a kind of rocking but is it a concious (forced) action or is it a repetitive action that is more like a deeper modulation movement of the body ?

It could be both.I get urges to do rocking.Other times i just do things without knowng it.

Normally, stimming refers to 'Any repetitive motion or sound which serves to stimulate the neural network'. That means, anything you do just to do. It doesn't have to be something you are conciously aware of doing. I stim by playing with my hair, rocking back and forth to music, and chewing my fingernails. I'm usually fully coherent when I do this too, so it's not something that requires complete detachment from the world.

What is the difference between stimming and fidgeting?

From what I can tell, if you're autistic its stimming, if you're NT its fidgeting.

There isn't a lot of difference except, possibly, in the motivations for stimming and the movements themselves. Typically NTs fidget because they're nervous or bored, while this isn't always so for someone with an ASD (though those can be motivations for stimming as well). I think it depends on the person, really.

I usually don't notice when I'm stimming. I'll suddenly find myself rocking, putting things in my mouth, fiddling with something in my pocket, jiggling my legs about, etc.

Fidgeting is not necessarily repetitive. A child playing with a Hot Wheels car in a church pew is fidgeting, but he's not stimming.

I don't find my stims to be entirely unconscious (I'm at least subliminally aware that I'm rocking or swaying or leg bouncing), but I don't consciously initiate them, they just are. I notice if someone insists that I stop. The intentional resistance to the impulse is like being tied up and locked in a trunk.
