What is autistic stimming? Stimming is a shortened term of self-stimulatory behavior and stimming is repetitive actions that a person does to self regulate, to block out stimulus or to relieve anxiety or to express emotion in a physical way. This can include movement of the body or body parts or the way you handle objects. If this is done in a repeating pattern, then this is stimming.
