The other day I tried to talk about stimming and I just formulated the following idea:
I see stimming as a way to self-overload some sensory system to drown out uncontrollable sensory input.
How do you think this fits your understanding and/or experience of stimming?

Nvm, this was the actual definition, my bad. Stimming at wikipedia
I guess I had read it, but didn’t remember it, so it felt like an original thought.
Leaving this here, but might as well delete if that is preferred.
Depending on the situation and person, it can be. However, it can be the opposite in that there is not enough stimulation is happening and so the brain does what it can to get more.
