Stimming Isn’t the Problem

Stimming is one of the most misunderstood parts of being neurodivergent. Too often, it’s seen as “bad behaviour,” “weird,” or something to stop. But here's the truth: ✨ Everyone stims. It's a natural part of being human. ✨ For neurodivergent kids, stimming is essential for regulation and joy. ✨ When stimming is shamed or suppressed, kids learn that being themselves is “wrong.” The result? Kids feel unsafe in their own bodies, parents feel lost, and shame takes the place of connection.

When stimming is supported

kids can regulate their nervous systems, feel calm and safe, and grow their confidence without shame.

When stimming is understood

parents gain simple, practical tools that make it easier to respond with clarity, calm, and connection.

When stimming is embraced

Families can move past fear and judgment and build relationships rooted in safety, joy, and trust.

Erin Tee, M.Ed

I create neurodiversity-affirming tools and resources, along with workshops, group programs, courses, and 1:1 coaching, to help neurodivergent kids and adults build self-awareness, confidence, and advocacy skills. I also educate and support families, educators, clinicians, and businesses in creating safer, more inclusive, neurodiversity-affirming environments. Drawing on my training in Cognitive Diversity and my lived experience as a neurodivergent parent, I share practical strategies and visual learning experiences that turn understanding into everyday action.
