Wow, that's some slow-mo stimming. It's almost imperceptible. My husband has Aspergers and he's worked out that taking off and putting back on his glasses in quick succession 3 or 4 times in a row satisfies his urges to stim. Your daughter's stimming reminds me of his, as in, people in public don't stare at him because he's hand-flapping or something. If this is as expressive as she gets, it may help her find better acceptance in the future I think.
@leananshae Actually she stimms a lot worse than this. Sometimes it's really bad...other times she seems "normal". You just never can tell. Her sister does a lot of visual stimming.
@indigopurplecat thx for posting, I was getting a bit dissallusioned with watching AS docomentaries and none of them mentioning stimming, aspects of what she's doing look like mine x
Not sure what "stimming" is, but my dd is SPD, i'm almost positive. She does these hand things too. But get your kids on a gluten-free, Casein-free, mostly raw diet (fruits, veggies) and you'll see tremendous improvement!
The thing the separates normal stimming from abnormal stimming (as everyone stimmings) its how long the stim for. They can stim for 15 minutes or longer if up to themselves. A girl her age would get bored of the repetation, or look to see if mum and dad are watching and laughing. All in all it is hard to caught autistism and other disorders in children because children are ... random.

Yeah, she is stimming her body is doing repetive movements. She seems quite content.

If you'll notice her hand gestures, it isn't the best video, but she does have a lot of repetitive things she does.

Nothing unusual here just a little girl munching.
But then I am handicapped myself so maybe I
don't notice anything.
