Stimming
Jessica and Ellie explain what "stimming" is--it's basically an action that stimulates your brain that's soothing to the person doing it. While it is a trait that neurotypical people may do from time-to-time, it is something neurodivergent people do quite a bit. The hosts discuss the finer points of stimming and how each of them stim in their day-to-day lives and how it helps them.
