ADHD Stimming and Fidgeting
Notes de l’épisode
Stimming, repeated movement that helps us regulate, is associated with autism but many people (autistic and non-autistic) stim. What do we mean when we talk about ADHD stimming?
Fidgeting, feeling restless and like you've got too much energy is a massive part of ADHD. Your mind can race and you may find it hard to sit still but why do we do it?
What are these behaviours telling us about our body and our nervous system? Vicki George, The ADHD Nurse, spent years working in mental health services and specialises in diagnosing and treating people with ADHD. In this insightful chat, Vicki helps Katie and Sam identify what stimming and fidgeting really mean.
