Nov 14, 2024In this episode of Not Your Average Autism Mom, Shannon dives into the world of vocal stimming, a common yet often misunderstood behavior in autism. Vocal stimming—whether it’s humming, repeating words, or making rhythmic sounds—can serve many purposes, from regulating sensory input to expressing emotions or simply exploring the joy of sound.
Shannon unpacks why vocal stimming happens, what it means for our kids, and how we can manage those moments when it feels overwhelming. She shares practical strategies for creating boundaries, modeling verbal thinking, and finding alternatives, all while respecting the vital role vocal stimming plays in our children’s lives.
Whether your child hums, scripts, or just loves making sounds, this episode will help you understand their world a little better and provide you with tools to navigate those noisy but meaningful moments.
Tune in and remember, you're not alone on this journey—Shannon is here to support you every step of the way.
