Stimming

NAS51548 over 6 years ago

Hi

My son is always tapping and drumming and chanting football songs. Is this a form of stimming? He has recently been diagnosed with asd.

Thanks

My daughter daughter repeats parts of songs over and over while skipping back and forward across the room she can do it for hours! It is her way of calming down.

Hi

It tends to be more football chanting, not really a whole song more certain phrases/chants over and over.

Hi,

Possibly, tapping and drumming are quite common, as for singing football songs It might be a vocal stim but maybe he just likes to sing them? Is he singing the whole song or just bits of it?
