Ask an Autistic #4 - What is Vocal/Verbal Stimming?

What is vocal stimming? Why do autistic people do it? Why does my autistic child repeat one word over and over? What is verbal stimming, and should I discourage it? How is echolalia related to verbal stimming? Answers to all of these questions and more in this episode of Ask an Autistic!
ps. If I look tired and scruffy in this video it's because I filmed it while battling a cold. Because I love you guys.
