Finger posturing—like holding fingers in stiff or unusual positions or repetitive movements like flicking or wiggling—is something often seen in autistic individuals. It can be a form of stimming (self-stimulatory behavior) or a way to regulate sensory input. It’s also sometimes linked to motor planning differences. Because I have an autistic child, I had a better understanding of traits to look out for and my son (my second) engaged in finger posturing consistently. But context really matters.

What is stimming and why does my Autistic child do it? ✅ Stimming is a repetitive behavior such as hand flapping, staring at something such as a spinning top, rocking back and forth, humming, or tapping. ✅ Children do this to calm, soothe, or regulate themselves. It’s how they cope with stress. ✅ Please don’t stop your Autistic child from stimming (unless they’re harming someone or harming themselves). #autismacceptance #neurodiversityaffirming #autismmom #speechtherapist #gestaltlanguageprocess
