Stimming is short for self-stimulatory behaviour. It refers to repetitive movements, sounds or actions that some people use to help regulate their emotions, focus or process the world around them.
Everyone stims sometimes. Think about tapping a pen, bouncing your leg, or twirling your hair - but for many autistic people, stimming is an essential part of how we manage anxiety, excitement or sensory input. It can be calming, energising or help us feel more in control.
As long as it's not hurting anyone, stimming should be accepted and supported. It's a natural and valid way of being.

Ready to get as a printable, tomorrow’s November tenth planner can give you a head start on the week ahead in a number of different ways.

Use the positivity ideas to start your week with optimism, get some quick inspiration for what to make for food, and use the conversation idea at the dinner table, among many other ideas for your day.

If Monday is particularly busy, the motivation tips and inspiring message can also be your go-to when you need some guidance.

Just a reminder that online safety is way MORE than just a few SM sites that will be captured with the Dec 10th ban. There are server based chats, game based chats, chat apps, companion chat bots and the list goes on. Young people must be educated in the respectful and responsible use of tech - block ban and take away gives parents a false sense of safety and security. The issues discussed today by the AFP Commissioner - sadistic online exploitation are occurring soley on platforms NOT covered in the ban. Parents it is time to step up and educate your self - dont simply reply on the ban to keep your child safe - it wont. Whilst they may not be on platform 1, there will still be using tech so knowledge is vital. Support your children, be there with them, set rules and boudaries and learn to say NO. All important factors in comprehensive cybersafety education. Grab a pre order of my new book if you want all the up to date info.
