Breaking the Cycle: Why Loops & Stims Happen in Autism
Why do autistic children engage in repetitive behaviors like stimming and looping? In this video, we break down the neurological, sensory, and emotional reasons behind these behaviors and why they’re essential for self-regulation. Understanding loops and stims can help parents, caregivers, and educators provide the right support without interrupting these natural coping mechanisms.
We'll explore:
🔹 What loops & stims are and how they differ
🔹 Why they happen in the autistic brain
🔹 How they provide safety, regulation, and expression
🔹 Ways to support autistic children in managing or redirecting them when necessary
