Copied from the web site about.com
The term "stimming" is short for self-stimulatory behavior, sometimes also called "stereotypic" behavior. In a person with autism, stimming usually refers to specific behaviors such as flapping, rocking, spinning, or repetition of words and phrases.

To my knowledge, he hasn't told any of them about this. Wonder if he will.

I think, based on what he is saying, that the targeting of Willie is frightening him. He knows it could happen to him and he keeps repeating how his heart breaks for him.

I just want to hug the stuffing out of him!

He did say in his interview that he would talk to us and let us know what he was thinking so he is true to his word :-)

He may look odd now, but I think he is dealing with it rather well, from my uneducated view. He is away from the other HG's and taking care of himself.

To me rocking yourself is a natural response to stress. Not to this degree, but the movement.

I agree, Laj! I learned a new term tonight, I still love Ian, and as I chimed earlier today...Ian for Fan Favorite!!!

I could NOT do this show. I am SO impressed that anyone dares to do it, but Ian REALLY moves me! And he's likeable on top of it all! Prayers for him and his mother as this season progresses. I can only imagine... Ian to the end!!!!!!!

Me too Lajonesin. He is a sweetheart and I'd hug him big time too.

Yes he is Mummy. I agree. He's probably a pro at this by now.

Now that Jani is out there, he stops. Stress release time is over. LOL

Interesting that he can turn it off so quickly. He has more control than I expected.

I worry for him when he goes on the block.

He does it intentionally, just like I go out dancing to get my stress out. Or drink coffee. Wierd, I know. LOL. You should try to stop a child dong it! Can't be done without huge effort.

Awww...Ian says he and Ash are like Jack (his fav player) and Erica, only Ash is much cooler. It's cute how he feels protective of her, rather than the way Danielle is mooning over Shane.

So for Ian.....not trying to include everyone....he gets stressed and fidgets......goes to self soothe, and then is just back to Ian.

Seems like everyone, but on a more intense scale.

Get upset, do what you need to calm down, and go back in.

You got it Mummy. Perfectly said. :-)

Each person has their own way of stimming, his (and most on the autistic spectrum) is just more extreme. At the lower end of the spectrum, it can be harmful to the person and interfere with daily functions. On the higher end, like Ian, it is instrumental in their coping with the world around them.

These coaches' challenges seem to be a good vehicle for BB to keep who they want in the game, just by the way they set it up. I don't like it. It needs to change.

Boogie is considering trading Jenn for Shane.

And putting up Willie and JoJo, crippling Brit.

Hmmmmm.....not a bad idea?

Laj and Mummy...thank you so much for that explanation. I heart Ian even more!! My sister has MS and my nephew has CP and both are quite mentally and socially affected. I really appreciate what you do, Laj. <3

Thanks for that Closet. It's hard for us teachers these days. Most wouldn't believe we do it just for the love of children.

I thank my parents all the time, and give them full credit, for raising me to always fight for the underdog. My examples were plenty.

I missed it. They are pulling a prank on Ian when he comes in the room. Wonder what it is.

Ian is REALLY angry at Willie for talking to Ashley the way he did. Maybe he won't feel so badly for him now. He says he will carry her for as long as he can. Hopefully she won't take advantage, but I fear this will backfire on him and we will all be crying at some point.
