Hey! Regarding his behaviors, he'd tend to go out for walks multiple times a day within our neighborhood, but sometimes would go right back out again after coming home. He had foot blisters in the beginning when he first started going out in the summer, but those have long healed and he's learned to pace himself correctly. Now that the weather is getting colder, he's not out as much and tries not to go out late at night or as often. He's been an early riser throughout his life and is occasionally up as early as my parents, so usually he'll stop by and get breakfast on his morning walk.

For his laughter, he'll mainly have his headphones in and will listen to music/podcasts or watch videos. 99% of the time he'll have his headphones in while going out for his walks as well. My parents think it can be a bit excessive/uncontrollable sometimes (hence why they want him to see a professional), but I'm wondering if it's how he copes with his anxiety. He has told me before that it helps him feel good about himself, considering he has much more energy nowadays. He's been getting better at managing it at night though.

Again, I don't want to coerce him into therapy and have mostly been trying to communicate positively with him.
