Ever notice a kid who can spin forever and never get dizzy? 👀 That can sometimes be a sign of differences in sensory or vestibular processing (common in kids who benefit from OT support). Not a diagnosis — just something to notice 💛 If you’re wondering, an OT can help evaluate and support this. #SensoryProcessing #VestibularSystem #OccupationalTherapy #Neurodiversity #AutismAwareness #ChildDevelopment #OTLife #ParentEducation | The Authentic SLP

Why is this child with autism not dizzy? We see this all the time, we can spin kids 100 times and no reaction. Here is the answer: All children with autism have retained primitive reflexes, which come from the brainstem. This is the same area that vestibular (inner ear) nuclei arise. So first if the PRs are still there the whole brainstem area remains immature and under reactive. Second reason is the primary area of the brain that responds to this is the right parietal insular cortex. The right

“When you see my child spinning, it’s not bad behaviour or them being silly. It’s actually how their body helps regulate itself. Spinning gives their nervous system the movement input it needs to feel calm, safe, and organised. Just like some people pace, tap their foot, or take deep breaths — spinning is their version of that. It brings them joy and helps them cope with the world. As long as they’re safe, it’s something we support, not stop.” & no she doesn't get dizzy 🥴 #takiwatanga #asd #spi

Does your child seem to crave movement? Jumping on the couch, spinning in circles, always on the go? 👉 These aren’t “bad behaviors.” They’re signs the brain is seeking input to help regulate itself. One of our favorite sensory tools—both in the clinic and at home—is a vibration plate. It provides rhythmic, consistent stimulation that helps calm the brain, activate postural muscles, and support better sensory processing. Other simple tools? ✅ Swinging ✅ Big movement play ✅ Gross motor activity o

Why he isn’t dizzy!? ⬇️ Vestibular (our 7th sense) dysregulation can manifest in either hypersensitivity or hypo-sensitivity. For example, a child may either get overly dizzy with mild spinning or not dizzy at all with extreme spinning. What is the Vestibular System? The vestibular system can be described as the body’s internal GPS. As you move, fluid in the inner ear activates sensors inside the ear. That data, along with information from your other senses, such as what you see, gives you a sen

Many autistic children love spinning, rocking, or swinging, and they often don’t get dizzy the way most people do. This happens because their vestibular system (the part of the body that controls balance and movement) processes sensations differently. For some kids, spinning feels calming and helps them regulate their bodies. For others, it’s exciting and fun, almost like their way of recharging. Instead of making them feel off-balance, movement gives them comfort or focus.Spinning is not “bad b

Ever wonder why your kid is constantly on the move? Climbing furniture, spinning in circles, or swinging like it’s their job? Say hello to their vestibular system — the movement balance center tucked inside the inner ear 👂 Here’s the magic: Movement isn’t just for fun… the vestibular system helps develop normal muscle tone. Kids need movement to build those steady, ready-to-go muscles. 💪 When movement is limited — especially for preemies — we often see abnormal or low muscle tone because their

The fact that some children love spinning in circles and could do it endlessly is usually connected to the vestibular system (responsible for balance, movement, and spatial orientation). Why does this happen? 👉 Seeking sensory input – some children have so-called vestibular under-responsivity. Their nervous system needs much stronger stimulation to feel a “sufficient dose” of input. 👉 Self-regulation – spinning gives them a sense of calm, pleasure, and helps them to relax (just like other chil

Crash, Jump, Spin: What Neurodivergent Play Really Means If your child would rather spin, crash, or jump than “pretend,” you’re not doing anything wrong—and neither are they. 💥 That sensory-motor play? It’s not just wild energy. It’s how many autistic and neurodivergent kids build body awareness, emotional regulation, and attention. Pretend play often comes after those foundational needs are met. So yes—smashing playdough counts. So does jumping, crashing, and spinning. Let’s stop pushing miles
