Stimming

At age 62 I've discovered the joy of squishy stim toys! I have a dish at home which is full of them. I have at least one in my coat pocket when I go out. To start with I got some that looked like a ball so folks thought I had a toy for my dog when I'm out walking with him but now I feel ok to carry more obvious toys. I enjoy passing (kind of throwing) them from one hand to another and this is particularly helpful if I'm in a shop and getting overstimulated. I hadn't thought about stimming in public as being part of my unmasking. Thank you for triggering that awareness for me. 

I hope that it's a good trigger. I don't want to upset anyone.
