How many things do you do every day without realising they might actually be stims?
In this episode, Kate returns from running a neurodivergent writing retreat in Scotland after accidentally blowing everyone’s minds with a session on language stims. What starts as a chat about repeating words quickly turns into a much bigger conversation about humming, echolalia, accents, family phrases and all the small things people do to regulate themselves without even noticing.
Kate and Nic talk about the ways stimming gets misunderstood through a diagnostic lens, why so many people grow up hiding it and how certain phrases, songs and repeated words can become their own form of comfort.
There’s also a genuinely brilliant detour into musicals as communication, the phrase “hydrate or die straight”, and an unexpected history lesson on the gin crisis.
If you’ve ever repeated a word because it sounds satisfying, communicated entirely through song lyrics or suddenly realised your family all hum, whistle or bounce in their seats… this one might feel very familiar.
