Vocal stimming

Does anyone else’s child do this? My daughter whistles, it’s becoming something she does more and more often. I get why she does it and she stims in other ways too (mainly clicking her fingers and pulling her hair). The whistling just seems to drive everyone nuts, I don’t know if I should gently point out that a) she’s doing it and b) other people don’t like it or if I should leave her to it.

  • a lot of the time yes i am aware of it, and yeah it would bother me if i was told to stop, personally it would be more beneficial to me to know where I can do it rather than just telling me not to without explaining why, everyone should be able to be free to stim, in some situations or places it may not be appropriate so knowing where is safe to do it may be a better way forward
