Spencer sheds light on the different types of stimming, such as visual, auditory, tactile, oral, and olfactory stimming, providing a foundation for understanding these behaviors. He delves into the root causes, emphasizing that stimming is not merely a behavioral issue but is deeply connected to the child's physiological and sensory processing systems. The blog outlines a multifaceted approach to reducing stimming, focusing on improving gut health, enhancing sensory integration, and supporting the function of the vagus nerve.
