Hello everyone!
I have just recently become aware of the high likelihood of me having asperger's. And I haven't really thought of this before but now that I am more aware of it, I think I would highly benefit from something like a stimming toy. I always repetitively screw my pens apart and put them back together in class which results in my pens flying in all types of directions and falling and along with the leg shaking, it annoys the people around me. As I am relatively new to this, I don't know if what I do is stimming. Is it?
Either way, I think I need something to occupy my hands with so that I don't break all my pens. The thing is, I don't know where to get one. I don't have easy access to those fancy online shops specialised in such things. So are there some DIY toy ideas you guys have? Or some everyday items that I could buy in regular stores that work as such toys? I tried to search it in this forum and I didn't find a topic about that but I'm sorry if I missed something. Anyway, I think lots of people might find it useful so if you know some resources or ideas, feel free to share them or post a link.
