Grow As We Go
For most Autistic people, stimming is ever changing, which means that their stims vary depending on environmental, emotional, mental, and physical factors.
For Bo, stimming comes in the form of movement and noises. He taps his fingers as if he is playing the piano (physical stim), shakes his head aggressively (physical stim), squeaks when he gets excited (verbal stim), hums (vocal stim), swipes his right hand across his collar bone (physical stim), repeats the words of others (echolalia, verbal stim) and many other self stimulations. This is a small list of his stims, and are all very common in the wording of the story.
