Child and reader alike are invited to engage in stimulatory activities in this ’stim-along’ bedtime book.This interactive bedtime read is a blast for any kid, but is especially important for autistic children who stim regularly to cope with their overwhelmed senses. ’Stimming’ is a vital part of the autistic experience, yet the harmless behavior is stigmatized in society and rarely seen in children’s books. With FLAP YOUR HANDS, children will see illustrations of doctors, aerospace engineers, architects, firemen and biologists, all stimming with flappy hands, wiggly fingers and tiptoeing feet. The story reaches its climax with a big happy flap attack, then settles back down with rubbing feet and gentle rocking.
