Autismo y estimulación

May 18, 2022
El comportamiento de autoestimulación se conoce como stimming en la comunidad de tratamiento de TEA. Ejemplos de esto son agitar las manos, golpearse la cabeza, mecerse, hablar repetitivamente (ecolalia) e incluso gritar. Si bien no existe un consenso total sobre por qué el stimming es tan frecuente entre las personas con autismo, la creencia generalizada es que se realiza como un acto de autoconsuelo para autorregular los sentimientos de ansiedad, miedo, ira o emoción.
Escuche a Kelly Londenberg, una adulta autista y asistente de terapia ocupacional pediátrica licenciada que trabaja en un entorno escolar sobre la estimulación desde una perspectiva sensorial.

Sponsored by Autism Society Inland Empire
Self-stimulatory behavior is known as stimming in the ASD treatment community. Examples of this are hand flapping, head banging, rocking, repetitive speech (echolalia) and even screaming. While there isn’t a full consensus as to why stimming is so prevalent among people with Autism, but the widely held belief is that it’s done as an act of self-soothing to self-regulate feelings of anxiety, fear, anger, or excitement.
Come hear from Kelly Londenberg, an autistic adult and licensed pediatric occupational therapy assistant working in a school-based setting about stimming from a sensory perspective.
