[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD(18) stims and as a younger person we tried to extinguish them and found what replaced it was ALWAYS worse then the original stim. So we let them go. They change over time. [/quote] I’m not even sure how you would extinguish a stim because they are so contextual. But I will say - my kid’s stims have gotten more subtle over time and are now things that appear a little eccentric like carrying around a small toy. His big one at 13 is pacing/running and my goal really is for him to start connecting the dots that the big gross motor movements are calming/feel good but can be disruptive in public unless they “look” like walking. I actually *want* him to connect the dots about things he can do to feel good or better. [/quote]
