So today I’m taking out my fidget toy to work (neatly hidden away in my pocket) and so far I do have to say it helps. Every now and then I click the buttons and it shuts my mind up for a few seconds during which I can refocus.
It’s strangely soothing. It also does give me a headache when I do it too much.
What are your findings?
I really like that one! I have two because I lose them a lot. I simply don’t use the loud options when there are others around that I might disturb.
I have many, many toys all over the place but here are some of my faves:
For the autism I like these for calming. They are so calming…
Sometimes people ask about them and I find handing it to them so they can see usually satisfies their curiosity and then it’s no big deal 🤷♀️
I’ve used one of these spinny toys for years now. It works great for me. Usb for scale.
The corner of the phone case.
These are the beans I want on lemmy
I can’t stop playing with them and making her claws extend/retract!
This specific GAN356 M speed cube. Don’t buy a Rubik’s cube. The GAN cube is way more satisfying to turn. They are so incredibly satisfying I’ve bought like 4 of them after losing them/giving them to friends.
I have this same device and really like it. I’ve got my entire desk covered with random objects to mess with.
I don’t have a picture of mine but one if my favorite fidget toys is a metal mini slinky
BEHOLD!
I’ve been yelled at because of these.
I don’t think this instance allows those kinds of pictures…
My old car used to have a switchblade key (Mazda 2) and that was the best fidget when I was out and about.
Right now on my desk I have a 7mm or so, heavy allen wrench that provides plenty of mindless, quiet, fidgeting. My only wish is that it would stay colder longer.
I’ve got a fidget cube and spinner, but my lifelong tradition of finding and fidgeting with blue tac has never gone away
Doesn’t that like… make your hands all gooey and smelly?
Do not have mine on me right now to make a photo. But it looks like this:
Just imagine a pic of a phone and a gaming PC.
I have one exactly that like that, and it’s one of my favorites for sure.
These are my top 3 favourites currently, in no particular order:
- Fuzzball Teenie by Needoh.
- Stimagz by Stimara.
- A Waffle Fidget, which I 3D printed.
