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 also pick (and bite) the skin around my nails. Fidget toys have been hit or miss for me. Two big problems have been not having them on me regularly and being noisy enough to annoy others (particularly my wife).
What’s really worked for me are cheap silicone rings. They’re stretchy and quietly keep my fingers busy. And I can literally wear them to have them available at any time.
