Hi,
Your child’s behaviour - speech delay, difficulty forming sentences, restlessness in social settings, and stimming - is not a “bad habit.” These are common in children with mild ADHD, sensory sensitivity, or early autism-spectrum traits, especially when they feel overwhelmed or excited.
Stimming is the child’s way of self-regulating. We don’t want to punish or shame it - instead, we help the child learn better coping tools.

I would initially recommend speech therapy from ENT department alongside psychiatry review. Speech therapy will boost up the child’s confidence, primarily.
And the rest can be substantially managed via drug therapy.
Next Steps
Consult both a psychiatrist and an ENT specialist .
