I honestly do not know the difference between and a stim toy and I usually use the two terms interchangeably.
My favorite fidget toys is my flippy chain. I use this thing all the time and take it with me everywhere. And I love that it’s discreet and quiet.
What’s your favorite fidget toy, or thing yiu like to fidget/stim with?
WTF I literally wanted to post the one you posted. What kind of witchcraft is this?!
I even love that it’s quiet myself.
I call it chained keyrings, but flippy chain is more fun to say, thank!
Honestly nothing beats tapping drum beats with my fingers to my favourite songs all day. Also made my typing insanly fast and (mostly) accurate at work lol
I just realised typing itself almost functions like a fidget toy to me. Sometimes I just write a comment or type just for the sensation. Especially feels good to try and type as fast as I can.
That moment when your fingers feel like they’re dancing so fluidly and you didnt make one mistake

I recently got a hard plastic smush toy i really enjoy

I also really enjoy the classic 3 lobed spinner fidgets. My longest enjoyed fidget is a bit smaller than a switch joycon and has a bunch of buttons and switches on it. I often have it in my pocket at work as i can easily fiddle with it quietly with 1 hand while speaking with someone
I’m afraid I’d try to eat that by accident. It just looks so appetising
It’s less appetizing in person
Unfortunately mine is cigarettes
That’s no a joke I bet a lot of undiagnosed people smoke just because they have adhd.
Tap for spoiler
It gives you something to do with your hands you can also you have an easy out when in social situations or overstimulation. “I gonna have a quick smoke.” Boom ten minutes to your self.
You want to avoid eye contract with that stranger while walking . You ever look at your phone just to avoid eye contact. Smoking allows you to shield from the wind which means hands in front of face, looking down, sometimes even turning your back entirely to the person. And you can click that lighter as long as you need to. “Oh no the lighter is busted. I now have to immediately leave this area to go get another lighter!”
Also non smokers give you personal space when you smoke
The problem is it’s a subscription service of $10 a day and also are forced to enter a cancer lotto every day.
I feel you. I’m glad I quit and all, but I still miss smoking more days than not. You described it absolutely perfectly. Also you can watch the ember glow, flick the ash, turn the cigarette around in your hand…
Plus I’m one of those who really enjoyed the taste, too. Especially now that spring is coming I miss sitting outside in the warm sunlight with a coffee and a cigarette.
