Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Self-stimulation, also known as stereotypy or self-stimulatory behavior, refers to repetitive movements or actions that may appear purposeless but may be a way for individuals with certain conditions (such as autism spectrum disorder) to regulate sensory input or manage anxiety. Self-mutilation and self-injury typically refer to behaviors that result in physical harm to oneself, while tantrums involve outbursts of anger or frustration.
