About

Glitch_Prod's "Stimming" Video refers to discourse about a viral video posted by the official Glitch Productions Twitter / X account showing three people holding up plushies and repeating the word "stimming," a term for repeated physical behaviors typically associated with autism and ADHD. The plushies are characters from Glitch Production shows, including Pomni from The Amazing Digital Circus, Serial Designation N from Murder Drones and Melancholy Hill from The Gaslight District. The people in the clip are voice actors Lizzie Freeman, who voices Pomni, and Michael Kovach, who voices N. The video garnered attention in late April 2025 after it ignited a debate about acceptable and unacceptable displays of autistic traits, with some internet users criticizing it for supposedly trivializing involuntary "stimming," and others criticizing the backlash for overreacting to a light-hearted video.
