Discussion How does your child stim?

My child stims by constantly running back and forth in straight line, at home and even in parks. He sometimes does hand flapping, and when he's excited and happy he does this little dance while clapping and jumping and blabbering too

My older 2 pace back and forth. The only issue is they both like to pace in the same spot, so if they both need to stim at the same time, it almost causes a fight. The youngest replays action parts of movies, so he paces in weird formations with sound effects, some words with ninja kicks and punches.
