So Im someone that gets understimulated easily, especially in right now in quarantine. So i made a list of things to stimulate your senses and I thought I would share it with the autistic and ADHD community.

Tactile:

-putting on tight clothes (tight tops, leggings, socks, etc)

-putting on chapstick

-rolling your feet on a cylindrical object (feet massager, rolling pin, etc)

-using a weighted blanket or pilling blankets on top of you

-asking someone to lay on top of you (if you are both comfortable with the idea)

-sitting cross legged or with you legs under you

-petting you animal if you have one

-running hot or cold water on your hands and/or switching between the temperatures

-taking a bath or shower

-putting on a hat or ears protectors

-massaging your head/playing with your hair

Auditory:

-listening to music

-listening to asmr

-reading out loud

-tearing paper or fabric

-tapping on stuff that make nice sounds

-making a DIY maracas by putting dry beans or rice in a tupperware or bottle

Olfactory (smell):

-making your favorite tea

-smelling or putting on lotion or chapstick

-opening random stuff in your fridge or pantry and smelling them

-starting essential oil diffuser if you have one

-baking something

-cooking up some garlic and butter (found this idea on tumblr)

-opening a window and smelling the fresh air

-smelling your laudry detergent or your shampoo

-hugging a partner or friend to smell their scent (if you are both comfortable with it)

-lighting up a scented candle

-cleaning the bathroom so that it smells like cleaning supplies

Gustatory (taste):

-chewing on a stim toy

-brushing your theet

-drinking juice

-eating something

-finding a food for every type of taste (sweet, salty, bitter, sour, umami) and eating one at a time (ex: a spoonful of jam, then a salty craker, then a piece of dark chocolate, then a a sip of cranberry juice, then a mushroom)

-getting a buch of veggies and then multiple dipping sauces (they can range in heath, texture, acidity, etc) (also got this idea on tumblr)

Visual:

-cleaning up the clutter

-watching people from your window or balcony, trying to find out stuff about them just by the way they are dressed and are walking

-arranging your colored crayons in a way you like, then doing it again and again in other orders

-arranging your folded clothes by colors

-if you have a lava lamp, watching it

-putting glitter and/or little pieces of paper in a see through bottle filled with water and then shaking it (this is one of my favorite stim also)

-watching a nature documentary

Vestibular/ Proprioceptive:

-jumping on your bed

-putting a lot of pillows and blankets on your bed and flopping onto it (also found this one on tumblr)

-shaking you leg while balancing on the other one and switching between them

-spining

-trying to make up/learn a new dance

-holding a really light object in one of your hand and a heavy one in the other. Trying to lift them at the same time

If you have acces to those things:

-making good use of a trampoline

-getting in the pool while hugging your knees and letting the water move you around.

-getting on the swings

i think one type of love is that moment as a child when some other kid tells you honeysuckle flowers taste like honey, and you try it for the first time and it really does taste sweet
