Stimming

NAS51548

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

    Tapping and drumming certainly are. Repeating phrases etc can be common in autism. I'm not sure if it's classed as stimming though. Does he really like football? It may be more his enjoyment of football. But it could possibly be stimming.
