What has y’all experience with fidget or stim toys been? I’m getting assessed for ADHD, and it’s likely i have autism, too. Today, during one of the ADHD assessments I mentioned to the psychologist applying the test that I pick the skin around my fingernails constantly, and she recommended getting one.
Do they help, in your experience? Anything to look for in one?
I had one that was like a keyring looped through one link of a bike chain, and the link has these rubber loops around it that you could rub and pick at and ypu could flip the rings around eachother it was SOOOO satisfying I wish I didn’t lose it😩
This is it!
There are also other fidgets that are specific to skin pickers where you peel paint or other things off a sheet that some people seem to like, but I haven’t tried it.
I really like these stones that are the size of a marble that are magnetic and I can roll them around eachother in my hand. I also really like fidget ring jewelry. I’m also autistic so your mileage may vary as to whether or not they are helpful/satisfying to you. Different people find different toys satisfying so you gotta try a few different types sometimes. Like those fidget spinners that were popular years back, just didn’t get it.
