Why do many autistic people rely on routines? What is stimming?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his book <em>NeuroTribes, <\/em>Steve Silberman notes two major differences in the neural functioning of autistic people versus allistic people, specifically in terms of processing sensory input and self-regulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Continue reading to learn how autistic people&#8217;s brains process stimuli differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-processing-sensory-stimuli\">Processing Sensory Stimuli<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Silberman explains that autistic people\u2019s brains tend to process stimuli differently than allistic people, which is why they often have sensory processing issues. <strong>They often have extreme sensory sensitivities,<\/strong> <strong>as well as a much lower threshold for the sensory input they can handle without becoming overwhelmed.<\/strong> As a result, they find ways of regulating their brains to avoid sensory overload. For example, an autistic person attending a party might need to take a break and go sit alone in a quiet room for a while to keep their system from becoming overloaded, whereas an allistic person might not have trouble handling that much sensory input.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: While Silberman focuses largely on oversensitivity to stimuli, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autism.org.uk\/advice-and-guidance\/topics\/sensory-differences\/sensory-differences\/all-audiences\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">autistic people can also experience <em>under<\/em>sensitivity<\/a>. For instance, they may have poor depth perception (visual undersensitivity) or an unusually high pain tolerance (tactile undersensitivity). While oversensitivity often results in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autism.org.uk\/advice-and-guidance\/topics\/sensory-differences\/sensory-differences\/all-audiences\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sensory-avoidant behavior<\/a>, like covering one\u2019s ears or not wanting to be touched, undersensitivity can result in sensory-seeking behavior, like banging objects to make noise or lying under heavy objects like weighted blankets. A person isn\u2019t necessarily \u201coversensitive\u201d <em>or<\/em> \u201cundersensitive\u201d; rather, they may experience both oversensitivity and undersensitivity in different environments and to varying degrees.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-methods-of-self-regulation\">Methods of Self-Regulation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To manage the sensory input they receive, autistic people often rely heavily on routines<\/strong>. For example, they may eat the same food for every meal or wear the same clothes every day to avoid overstimulation from unfamiliar tastes or fabric textures. Interruptions to their routines or changes in familiar environments are often distressing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Besides helping autistic people avoid unexpected sensory input, routines <a href=\"https:\/\/thinkingautismguide.com\/2022\/04\/understanding-how-routines-can-help-autistic-people.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">help reduce the cognitive load (mental effort) involved in getting through each day<\/a> by reducing the need to weigh options, predict outcomes, and make decisions. However, experts note that routines imposed by <em>others<\/em>, compared to routines that autistic people develop for themselves, can be distressing, as they interfere with their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/an-internal-locus-of-control\/\">sense of control<\/a> and autonomy.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Autistic people also often engage in repetitive movements or behaviors\u2014called \u201cstimming,\u201d short for self-stimulatory behavior.<\/strong> Stimming can include rocking back and forth, flapping their hands, echolalia, or holding or playing with a specific object. According to Silberman, autistic people stim for many reasons, including to reduce anxiety; to express different emotions like happiness, boredom, and frustration; or simply because it feels good.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/blog\/women-autism-spectrum-disorder\/202108\/what-is-autistic-stimming\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Stimming encompasses a wide range of behaviors<\/a> beyond those described by Silberman, including cracking one\u2019s knuckles, staring into space, and listening to the same song on repeat. In addition to the benefits Silberman describes, stimming can help a person focus and block out distractions. It can also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6728747\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">help someone communicate<\/a> things they have trouble putting into words\u2014for example, it can be an early indicator that an autistic person is feeling anxious and needs some support.)\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are sensory processing issues?
