Vocal stimming refers to repetitive vocal sounds or speech patterns used for self-regulation, commonly seen in neurodivergent individuals, particularly those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and ADHD. However, it also occurs in neurotypical individuals. Vocal stimming serves as a way to manage sensory input, emotions, and stress, but its noticeable nature often leads to misunderstandings. Recognizing its purpose is essential for fostering supportive environments that promote well-being. By understanding vocal stimming, we can better appreciate its role in self-regulation and create inclusive spaces where individuals can thrive.
