That urge to repeat a sound or phrase because it feels satisfying or comforting can be a ๐๐ผ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น ๐๐๐ถ๐บ.
But where did the term come from? Vocal stim comes from ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ข๐ข๐๐ฃ๐, short for ๐จ๐๐ก๐-๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ข๐ช๐ก๐๐ฉ๐ค๐ง๐ฎ ๐๐๐๐๐ซ๐๐ค๐ง. The term is often used when talking about neurodivergent people because repetitive sounds, movements, or phrases can be a way to get sensory input, regulate emotions, or find comfort.
