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?

    Do you have a link? I'm sort of wanting something squishy for times when I'm on the verge of meltdown to try and keep me from hitting shit.

      link to her page

      I originally searched for "sand-filled animals" on etsy if she doesn't have stuff you like, but the large frog she has looks pretty punchable-sized. There's quite a few items that people make specifically for stimming and comfort, too. Hope you find something that suits your needs!
