“She Twirled In Circles For Hours.
Flapped Her Hands When Excited.
Bounced On The Couch Until She Fell Asleep.”
At first, they thought it was adorable.
Then harmless.
Then… confusing.
Their daughter, Diya, 4 years old:
- Spun around the living room endlessly
- Flapped her hands rapidly during cartoons
- Twirled her hair so tightly it knotted
- Rocked back and forth whenever she was tired
“We thought it was energy.
We thought it was a joy.
We didn’t realize — it was survival.”
🧠 Why Stimming Isn't Silly — It's A Sensory SOS
At Pinnacle® hyderabad (Kukatpally), occupational therapists explain:
“Stimming is the body’s way of coping with overload or under-stimulation.
For children on the autism spectrum, repetitive movements regulate sensory imbalance and emotional distress.”
Key red flags include:
- Spinning without dizziness
- Flapping when excited or upset
- Twirling objects or hair excessively
- Rocking, bouncing, or toe-walking repeatedly
- Focusing intensely on movement instead of people
“It’s not bad behavior.
It’s the child saying: ‘My world is too much. Or too little. And this keeps me safe.’”
📞 The Breaking Point Was The Birthday Party
At her cousin’s birthday, diya didn’t join the games.
She spun in a corner by herself — laughing, but isolated.
When relatives said, “Why is she behaving like that?”,
her parents realized —
it wasn’t just personality. It was a pattern.
That night, they called 9100 181 181.
The counselor didn’t use scary words.
She said:
“Let’s see what her body is trying to tell us.
Let’s listen through her movements.”
They booked a free AbilityScore©® Sensory Screening.

She wasn’t out of control.
She was desperately trying to find control.
🤖 How TherapeuticAI©® Gave Her Safer Ways To Move — And Connect
Instead of punishing her movements, therapy structured them.
Her AI-personalized plan included:
- Scheduled spinning time with timers
- Heavy work (pushing walls, lifting beanbags)
- Trampoline and crash pad routines before social activities
- Sensory brushing + deep-pressure strategies
- Movement rewards transitioned into verbal-social interactions
By week 4:
- She flapped less — and hugged more
- Played catch with her cousins — instead of spinning alone
- Used words like “Jump now!” to request movement safely
“We didn’t stop her world from spinning.
We taught her how to steer.”
💬 What Her parents Share Now
“If your child is always moving, they’re not wild.
They’re working so much harder than you can imagine — just to stay okay.
Help them. Don’t shame them.”
