kids help: what helps autistic kids relax or calm dowm when they are really - Help.com

well i dunno. my sister, who has autism spectrum disorder, is never really hyper.
why do you ask?

“Sometimes people with autism calm themselves with a “stim” or stimulation such as spinning themselves or an object, waving their arms, stroking or holding a familiar object, or reading or talking about a subject of interest.”

This is the website I found that from : http://www.autismawarefare.org/abouta…

My son usually kicks and wiggles his fingers while watching them, but the sure fire way to calm him down is to give him his “Baby” a stuffed animal he has has since he was 6 monhs. For some reason that just settles him right down, but not always. Sometimes they are just normal kids that have a ton of energy and we tend to forget that part as well :)
