[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if this is an opportunity to teach her, in an age appropriate way, that people can be judgy. Long term it may be more important for her to feel safe and confident in who she is, flapping and all, bc the reaction to flapping comes from a place of not understanding. [/quote] I disagree. All kids learn manners - there’s no need to hold back on teaching kids on the spectrum manners. Teaching a kid not to jump and make noise in a store is just a kind of instruction about manners. Making a huge deal about how her stims are part of her “self” could be confusing and possibly make her feel even more alienated. She can learn the cause & effect of her behavior without feeling stigmatized. [/quote]
