Fidget Toys - Blog Posts
They're done!
I'm calling this batch Midnight Auroras. I was a little worried if their eyes wouldn't stand our from the dark yarn, but after testing it, they came out pretty cute!
Also experimenting with some background pieces instead of the base gray... photography is not my strong suit lmao. Though the morning tornado-warning weather gave me some good lighting, at least.
Plus it looks a little better in the closeups. I think.
As always they are up for adoption on my etsy page!
fresh batch of spiders up for adoption!
Does anyone else hate how on fidgets with buttons some of the buttons are solid and a good texture, like one on a video game controller or something, and then the others are too damn soft? I hate the texture difference. It mildly annoys me when I try to use fidget cubes.
they should add a feature where you can keep moving this thing around while scrolling without activating the share post/download photo/share photo option so you can keep swishing it around like a fidget toy
This doll reminds of Cedar Wood from Eah
This is my new objectsona. He doesn’t have a name yet but he is a good boy!
(He is one of those colorful slug fidget toys)
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.
