Show Notes
Why do people stim—and why is it often misunderstood?
This episode explores stimming as a natural and necessary way the nervous system regulates itself.
From an autistic perspective, stimming isn’t disruption or rebellion—it’s a way to find balance, reduce overwhelm, and stay grounded in a world that can feel too loud.
If you’ve ever wondered why people stim—or felt the need to regulate yourself in small, repetitive ways—this offers a clearer, more human way to understand it.
