In this eye-opening episode, we go beyond the basics of stimming and explore a lesser-known but just as important type: vocal stimming. While many people associate stimming in autism and ADHD with physical actions like rocking, hand-flapping, or leg bouncing, there’s another side to it—repetitive vocal behaviors like humming, echolalia, or repeating certain words or sounds.We break down what self-stimulatory behavior (stimming) is, why it happens, and how both physical and vocal stimming serve as vital coping tools for neurodivergent individuals—especially those with autism and ADHD dual diagnosis.
