Freedom of Speechless | Understanding Loops & Stims in Autistic Children

Breaking the Cycle: Understanding & Supporting Loops & Stimming in Autism
Why do autistic individuals engage in repetitive behaviors like loops and stimming? In this episode, we explore what these behaviors are, why they happen, and how they serve as important coping mechanisms.
You'll learn:
🔹 The difference between loops (repetitive thoughts/behaviors) and stimming (self-regulation techniques).
🔹 Why these behaviors occur and how they help in specific examples with sensory processing and emotional regulation.
🔹 Practical strategies to support autistic individuals, including redirection techniques, safe stimming alternatives, and creating a structured environment.
Understanding and respecting these behaviors is key to fostering a supportive space. Tune in for insights, real-life examples, and actionable strategies! #AutismAwareness #Stimming #neurodiversity

Mind Over Body is an organization that works with apraxic, non-speaking individuals. This channel is meant to be the voice of those individuals. Believe it or not, non-speaking individuals, have more to say than one could imagine. They are also more intelligent than most.

Imagine having a right to speech, without having the ability to speak. Do you lose that right? NO. Do paraplegics lose their right to peaceably assemble or march? NO. There is more than one way to speak.

We're bringing awareness to all motor differences, autism, apraxia, Spelling to Communicate and everything to do with the subject. Our non-speakers have much to say, and through spelling to communicate, we're able to finally listen them.
