[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 314912, member: 1169"] As the mother of two autistic children and a former teacher of children with severe autism, I 100% disagree with your friend. Your daughter is meeting a neurological need by stimming (twirling things, spinning, etc). And time you "stop" one stimming behavior, another one will take its place as she will find a way to meet her needs. Her current ones are not dangerous, I would let them go for now. (If she starts head banging or biting herself, then I would work to replace those with less dangerous stims.) Play therapy can be done for different reasons. I would think that in your daughter's case it will be done to teach her how to play, especially with others. [/QUOTE]
