[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually don't consider it a negative, since at the moment my child's stims don't interfere with his functioning. He actually seems to be using the behavior in a functional way to help himself calm down ([b]walking in circles, jumping up and down[/b]). His dad stims too so there's something genetic about it. [/quote] Is that considered a stim? That seems to me to be just classic ADHD motor activity. I'm never sure what's really considered a "stim". My ADHD kid did/will do things like chewing clothes, rocking his head from side to side, repeating words in a fairly nonsensical way. I think some of those might be considered stims, but I'm not really sure. [/quote]
