In this video, Enzo is simply being himself. 💙
He was enjoying the water fountain at the mall — stimming, jumping, smiling, and taking in the movement of the water. Moments later, he saw an opportunity to play with it… and we let him. And that’s okay. 🤍
For children with autism, stimming (self-stimulatory behavior) like jumping or repetitive movements is not “misbehavior.” It’s a way to regulate emotions, process sensory input, and express joy. The water, the sound, the movement — these can be calming and exciting at the same time.
Let them play.
Let them stim the way they need to.
Let them experience the world in a way that feels safe and meaningful to them. 🌈
What may look “different” to others is often pure happiness and self-regulation. And as parents, our role is not to stop it — but to understand it. 💙
