I have a number of stimming fidget things at home. I have been mostly using a small round ball and my ear defenders though. However, today by chance I started squeezing my Tortoise which I bought in 2019 and it is actually really good for me to stim with. I use it in my hands and it is soft. I just put it in my pocket today when I used it when I went out and nobody knew what I was doing. I bought it when my friend passed away as a memory after going to Sea Life. What a surprise for me. There are still selling them on Amazon. This is now the best thing for stimming that I own. I saw a sensory specialist at home for 12 weeks after diagnosis and she recommended me a number of stimmings things to use as well.

Such a lovely tortoise! I think I will buy it. I have a small box that I spin in my hand (only left, I don’t know why, I can’t do it with my right hand) and I often do it in my pocket. So yes, nobody sees what I’m doing.
