[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Common with high functioning autism. It's a form of stimming and part of echolalia [/quote] WTF? Tics - vocal or other - are definitely not stims nor are they part of echolalia! Stims are 'self-stimulating' behaviors and are voluntary. Tics are involuntary. Echolalia, sometimes, are part of tics/Tourettes but can also be completely unrelated. [/quote] From autism parenting magazine Why does vocal stimming happen? Self stimulatory repetitive behaviors and movements can provide “sensory input” for children with ASD, helping them cope with anything stressful in their environment, or helping them to focus or express their feelings. It can be calming because it is a predictable behavior they control.[/quote]
