stimming: an autism sign you might not know 🧩

psa: repetitive movements like rocking or fidgeting (aka stimming) could be a sign of autism, says NHS doc @drclairetaylor. in a new #Channel5 doc, she breaks down 3 key indicators: 1️⃣ social burnout: masking your true self to fit in (exhausting, right?) 2️⃣ sensory overload: lights/sounds feel way too intense 🔇 3️⃣ stimming: self-soothing via movement (think: pacing, hand-flapping) plus: autism often goes undiagnosed in women because they’re pros at “masking” emotions. 👀 if you’ve felt “different” for years, this might be why. #AutismAwareness #KnowTheSigns #MentalHealthMatters #Health
