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'm undiagnosed. I had a fidget spinner but I lost it. Also I got negative reactions from others who found it noisy and distracting. So mostly I spin pens and learn pen tricks. It's more socially acceptable in the work place because it looks like I'm involved and I can pretend I'm taking notes (or actually take notes/doodle). Downside is that I chew on them and get ink all over things. I probably would look for something pen shaped and weighted.
