In this episode of The Aspie World Podcast, Dan explains what repetitive behaviours really mean in autism — and why they’re not something to “fix.” He shares the science behind stimming, routines, and repetitive actions, showing how these behaviours help autistic people process the world, reduce stress, and feel calm.

You’ll hear how repetitive behaviours can be powerful self-regulation tools when understood correctly, and how to support them safely without shame or misunderstanding.

What you’ll learn:
• What repetitive behaviours actually are in autism
• The purpose and function of stimming
• Why repetition helps autistic people manage anxiety
• How to respond when behaviours seem excessive
• Dan’s personal insight into self-regulation and daily coping

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants a realistic, positive understanding of autistic behaviour and emotional regulation.
