@Starshine 🏳️⚧️ 🌜 I stim mostly with my hands, or by rubbing my favorite necklace pendant over my upper lip. So that won't make me lose my breath... Boosted the Toot, so hopefully more people can see it. 😊
@Starshine 🏳️⚧️ 🌜 Ow wow... I only make small movements, either with my necklace or with a fidget spinner or cube. So it's less hard on me. Have you tried to use fidget toys? Maybe minimizing the stimming could make it less taxing in you. But only is your needs are still being met then... Sorry I don't have any better advice. 🌸
@pixy I don't have any actual fidget toys except for a cheapo fidget spinner that I got in a Christmas Cracker one year. I do fidget with objects a bit (I have a convex shaped pocket mirror that spins nicely one my desk when it's closed). I do also have some stone eggs and a shiva lingam stone that can be calming to hold but they're not necessarily very stimmy, just soothing sensory-wise. Are there any fidget toys you'd recommend?
@Starshine 🏳️⚧️ 🌜 I got myself a more expensive metal spinner, and it needs some WD40 at times, but it's been quite sturdy so far, and it's heavier than the plastic ones, which seems to help me. And I got a little cube as well. It has 6 sides with different fidget bits, like a switch, rolling balls and gears... All different sides to use with different moods. I don't know if they could help you, maybe there is a "try before buy" option available for you, so you don't need to spend money on things that may not benefit you. Good 🍀 luck and I hope that you will find something. 🌸
