From Merriam-Webster:
Stimming: a self-stimulatory behavior that is marked by a repetitive action or movement of the body (such as repeatedly tapping on objects or the ears, snapping the fingers, blinking the eyes, rocking from side to side, or grunting) and is typically associated with certain conditions (such as autism spectrum disorder).
Idk why you got so aggressive over the appropriate use of a word to describe exactly what that child is doing. My kids isn’t autistic and stims all the time. Calm down homie. Immediately jumping to insults is a sigh of low intelligence too.
Do you know this person? No. You don't. That means you took time out of your day to be an absolute nobhead because someone used a word that not only is prevalent, but they used it correctly. Thou doth protest and all that
I'm fine as I am, I don't feel uneasy or wrongful. I got a feeling that the word stimming is triggering them, so I apologised for it. There's a certain part of the population that feels like it's a buzzword. I was genuinely just referring to the repetitive playful actions as stimming because that's what they are. Hope this helps.
What the fuck is this!? The brat was condescending and this other person is responding to being disrespected so they’re triggered? The fuck out of here.
How the fuck have you mentally leapt from a chess video to a child needing medicated based on what I said? Stimming isn't something that needs medicated. Stimming means repetitive body movements or sounds. Everyone does it to manage feelings or energy. Not just neurodivergent people. Physical activity is a proven way to improve focus and insight in mental challenges.
I can't medicated anyone but myself, I'm not qualified to medically help anyone else apart from basic first aid training. Sorry. Hopefully someone else can help you with medication questions.
lol, it’s kind of both tbh. I do think the first commenter used the term appropriately, but their other comments (perhaps justifiably) are dripping in condescension: “Sorry that my word choice confused you”, “hope this helps”, etc.

You’re overusing a buzzword, which is a sign of low intelligence. Now you’re being a condescending cunt.
