Dear Karen1212lo,
Need to identify each separately.
First, in development delay side, self-spinning is a kind of stimming, a self-stimulating behaviour.
Most common suspect is that self-spinning referring to an irregular sensory development, particular somatic本體感 and frontal前庭感sensory deficiency of a kid. Through such beaviour, he/she will gain back the satisfaction which they are lacking of. In long run, the best suggestion is getting a remedy on his irregular part of sensory - sensory training, medication, acupuncture, craniosacral ???
In medium term, playing trampoline, swings, tight tunnels, brushing body, doing yoga or even buying her/him some mirror will also help.
In immediate moment, best idea of course is to hug him gently since hug is giving a kid the best somatic satisfaction if he likes after stopped him from self-spinning.
For non-developmental part, he might be bored, u might get him a play or a task to complete to stop him self-spinning.
Spinning wheels is a different matter though it is also a kind of stimming. It might mean there is over-built of neurons神經原( or deadoff delay/too little integration of neurons???)but under-built of neuron dendrites (branches)in certain part of the brain (Frontal/ left temporal lope or cerebellum小腦???). Spinning wheels therefore is able to satisfy their limited but excessive logic (cause & effect) motives. Remedy depends on how serious yr kid is obsessed w/ spinning wheels. Some are very stubborn on it, so u might need to make alteration WITHIN spinning wheels in immediate run. If not, just ask her/him to play other things to divert their attentions. In long run, of course, remedy is seeking a method to rectify the inappropriate development of the brain.
