In this eye-opening episode, we go beyond the basics of stimming and explore a lesser-known but just as important type: vocal stimming. While many people associate stimming in autism and ADHD with physical actions like rocking, hand-flapping, or leg bouncing, there’s another side to it—repetitive vocal behaviors like humming, echolalia, or repeating certain words or sounds.We break down what self-stimulatory behavior (stimming) is, why it happens, and how both physical and vocal stimming serve as vital coping tools for neurodivergent individuals—especially those with autism and ADHD dual diagnosis. Whether it's calming anxiety or expressing joy, stimming is a valid and important part of many autistic lives.🎯 In this episode, you’ll learn:What stimming really means and why it’s not “just a habit”The difference between voluntary and involuntary stimmingWhat vocal stimming looks and sounds likeWhy recognizing and embracing stimming is part of autism acceptanceTools that support healthy stimming (like the ONO Roller + Audio Stim Pack!)📘 Helpful Resources:• Free Autism Life Hacks Book → https://www.autismtips.net• ONO Roller for Fidgeting → https://link.heropost.io/TAWONO• Audio Stim Pack Download → https://shoptly.com/i/b32s• Online Therapy (Sponsored) → https://link.heropost.io/BH• 50% Off Autism Parenting Magazine → https://link.heropost.io/APM• Autism for Adults Book → https://amzn.to/3LVNH5J✨ If this episode helped you feel seen or supported, please subscribe, review, and share it with others in the autism community.💻 Looking for more tailored tools and support?

In this episode, we dive deep into a fascinating and often misunderstood topic—stimming in ADHD vs autism. While both autistic and ADHD individuals may engage in self-stimulatory behaviors, the why and how behind those actions are very different—and understanding these differences can lead to better self-awareness, support, and daily coping strategies.If you have both autism and ADHD, you know the struggle: autism wants to hyperfocus, ADHD wants to jump from one thing to the next. It’s like a battle in your brain for control!
