Stimming and distressed

NAS75657

One of my Sons stimms is he runs up and down but tonight he kept doing it and was getting upset as he did.  Can anyone help with this, he eventually managed to settle himself down

  • What age is he?

    To help you need to focus on the root cause of the anxiety rather than the stimming behaviour itself.

    I suspect something was making him extra anxious which led to the increased levels of being upset. Work out what that is and you have a good chance to deal with it and prevent a recurrance.
