How should I handle my son's stimming (opening shutting doors/cabinets)?

[Guest guest]

Dear Listmates,

My son goes hog wild on cabinets and doors and loves to flip objects.

I generally redirect him and am usually met with resistance. Is there

a common school of thought about what to do? Should I never let

stimming go forward? Are there times when I should turn a blind eye?

My fear is that by allowing him to stim he will just become more

entrenched in his own existence and shut out the world around him. Any

help would be greatly appreciated.
