Stimming (hand flapping) serves a purpose, which is self regulation. Blocking it will result in maladaptive behaviors. So you are causing the problems that you are 'fixing'.

Great video! I just started working as an RBT in a school and you have no idea how much I will implement the knowledge from your video to my everyday sessions!! Appreciate your hard work l!

How about you consider the fact that flapping hands is a way of expression it’s body language it can be happiness or distress it can also help us feel better. I am 26 I have level one autism and I still flap and will flap and no one will stop me.
