Good question. Everybody stims. Stimming can either be a way of compensating for lack of stimulus/balancing the stimulus intake - or reduce inner tension. It seems, that the wiring determines the preferance.
Of course NVLD people stim too, but they might do the culturally accepted stims and thus not be noted.
Yeah, but I mean what made professionals decide that repetitive motor movements like hand flapping, aren't done by people with nvld (or if they are, not because of the nvld) I mean it is so similar to AS and sensory issues are mentioned in the profile of NVLD, so I am wondering what made them decide nvld people don't do things like hand flapping
