the truest ADHD ally of our time was my professor who during a field exam handed me a newt and told me to hold it and I was like “what do you want me to do with this” thinking it was for the test and he shrugged and said “it’s just to keep ya busy”

if we're friends or even just mutuals on here:
just because I’m quiet doesn’t mean I don’t care about you
I send happy thoughts and good energy your way
I’m bad at expressing these things a lot of the time
communication just takes a lot out of me sometimes (so I end up being pretty slow to reply to messages/texts/etc)
I read your posts and updates
I care about the stories/poems you write, the jewelry you make and/or the art you create
I hope the best for you
I care about you and I think you’re awesome
I drew some flag deers for pride month !
Be proud of who you are !
you can use them if you credit me
@a-fragile-sort-of-anarchy Have you seen this???
They’re perfect!!!
Of course that’s why the chairs have that feature. It’s a snout rest, intended for the comfort of snouts. What else would you do with it?

Hey, so, i’m all for this sudden trend of neurotypicals using fidgets and stim toys (mainly fidget cubes and spinners bit still), like its helping normalise them, thats great, but PLEASE be respectful with how you use them.
What i mean is, like, dont treat them like “toys” or fun little novelties. For example, at my school those little hand spinners blew up, and id bought one too. It was really helping me focus in class and relax, but all of the nts who had them were, like, playing with them in class. and by playing, i dont mean fidgeting, i mean “lets pass this around all my friends and mess about with it instead of working” which lead to them being banned.
Now they’re confiscated on sight at school, and teachers are beginning to do similar things to other stim and fidget toys (ive seen two stress balls and a fidget cube be confiscated just bc their nt owners were showing them off to all their friends and disrupting the class by messing about with them)
If nts keep this up, then nds will have an even harder time stimming in academic spaces, due to stim toys largely being banned
So please, if you’re a neurotypical, or even if you’re not tbh, dont treat stims like toys and end up getting them banned.
This is kinda saddening
Also for people that are like: but why can’t we all use stim toys why do you think you need it more than me? That’s a great question, many neurodivergent people with ADHD and autism get easily overwhelmed or have trouble focusing in academic spaces. Some people have specific anxiety (not just like nervousness like full scale panic attack have a hard time every day anxiety) around academic spaces. Stimming is the term used by the neurodirvergent community to describe any repetitive movement or fidgeting that helps alleviate the symptoms of being overwhelmed or distracted. People stim all sorts of ways but fidget cubes and hand spinners were literally invented for neurodivergent people to have a safe way to stim and cope in a public place. (Without stim toys many neurodivergent people have to either tap or pick at their skin to stim and so having an object to stim with is really helpful.) Being able to use stim toys in class is really helpful in terms of making school even something that is possible to get through for neurodivergent people so it’s super important that we are still able to use them without them getting confiscated.
I know they’re cool but please respect that some people really need these devices in order to make it through a school day and don’t create a classroom distraction if you have one.
