Follow Your Passion: A Seamless Tumblr Journey
hi people of tumblr, any recommendations for stim toys? you may have seen my previous post a month ago about them but those were from somewhere else and because of how we got into a fight and they were mean, they took it away.
help an autistic adhd person out please.
what type of stim toys do i need to make sure that everything’s okay and doesn’t go wrong?
All neurodivergents have a setting called
No thoughts Stim toy
My proof is that my dad, little sibling and I were just sat in the hall playing with my new stim toys for about half an hour 😅
Cleaned up sketch of the toy :D.

Can people stop saying neurotypicals shouldn’t use stim/fidget toys??????
-people might not be diagnosed or realize they have adhd/autism/whatever and by telling them they cant use the thing you are restricting their access to something they might not even know they need but could help them immensely - esp if they are undiagnosed adhd its so hard to not have anything to fidget with when unmedicated imo
-saying only nd people can use them could make ppl feel they have to reveal diagnoses theyd rather keep private to avoid being looked down on for using them
-fidgeting can help nt people too
-the more people want them, nt and nd, the more available they will become for nd people as well as nt people and that availability can only benefit nds who fidget/stim
-it just generally doesn’t feel right to restrict access to things that benefit everyone (to me at least)
edit since apparently i didnt word this right: this does NOT APPLY to treating them like toys and not for their intended person, eg throwing them. But if nt people wanna fidget with a spinner and arent misusing them dont tell them they cant use it bc theyre nt mmkay
edit 2: I am, in fact, ADHD, if you didn’t pick up on that, and very well understand the importance of fidget toys to those who stim. Please don’t treat me like a neurotypical trying to steal resources from neurodivergent people.
