The other day I tried to talk about stimming and I just formulated the following idea:

I see stimming as a way to self-overload some sensory system to drown out uncontrollable sensory input.

How do you think this fits your understanding and/or experience of stimming?

Nvm, this was the actual definition, my bad. Stimming at wikipedia

I guess I had read it, but didn't remember it, so it felt like an original thought.

Leaving this here, but might as well delete if that is preferred.
