One mom is making it her mission to champion her kids with autism by sharing and not suppressing their stimming behaviors.
Jessi Brown, the mother of two behind the @siblingsonthespectrum Instagram account, shared a post back in March of her son vocalizing and flapping his arms and her daughter repeating lines from a Disney movie.
“I’ve gotten asked before if I feel comfortable sharing videos of my son when he happily stims like this, as if it’s something ‘vulnerable’ (AKA ’embarrassing’…let’s call a spade a spade) that should be kept hidden,” Brown wrote in the accompanying Instagram caption. “That’s sort of the entire point of advocating for my child on this platform- to do my part in promoting the acceptance and inclusion of all that autism can be.”
