Why do autistic people stim❓EXPLAINED by autism specialist I’m Jonathan Alderson, autism therapist of 25+ years, and this is what I’ve learned from autistic individuals and what you need to know about stimming 💡 There are many negative stereotypes and misinformation about autistic stimming.

500 therapies. Zero clear answers. We brought back researcher Jonathan Alderson to help us cut through the noise and get honest about what actually matters when it comes to supporting our kids. Because this isn’t about chasing every intervention on the internet. It’s about understanding your child, your family, and what truly fits. In this episode, we talk about: • The pressure that comes after diagnosis • Why “more therapy” isn’t always better • How family dynamics shape outcomes more than people admit • Choosing supports that align with your values, not just trends • Frameworks like the readiness model and PACT that actually help make sense of it all And as always, we keep it real—the wins, the overwhelm, and everything in between. If you’ve ever felt like you’re throwing darts in the dark… this one’s for you. @thriveguide.co @momstalkautism @justjean_wm @heyitsshannonk @realtalkwithtash @rubycakesofca #AutismSupport #Neurodiversity #ParentingJourney #DisabilityAdvocacy #MomsTalkAutism
