205. When the World Gets Loud; Managing Vocal Stimming

In this episode of Not Your Average Autism Mom, Shannon dives
into the world of vocal stimming, a common yet often
misunderstood behavior in autism. Vocal stimming—whether it’s
humming, repeating words, or making rhythmic sounds—can serve
many purposes, from regulating sensory input to expressing
emotions or simply exploring the joy of sound.


Shannon unpacks why vocal stimming happens, what it means for our
kids, and how we can manage those moments when it feels
overwhelming. She shares practical strategies for creating
boundaries, modeling verbal thinking, and finding alternatives,
all while respecting the vital role vocal stimming plays in our
children’s lives.


Whether your child hums, scripts, or just loves making sounds,
this episode will help you understand their world a little better
and provide you with tools to navigate those noisy but meaningful
moments.


Tune in and remember, you're not alone on this journey—Shannon is
here to support you every step of the way.
