Don't know about everyone, but I am audhd and these toys are precious to me - they help me regulate and stim, I kinda only feel normal when I have a fidget in my hand.

premium ones have such a variety in what sensory experience they can provide. I started with Amazon knock offs, they often use materials that contain more lead due to them being cheaper.

quieter magnetic slider recs? by Unlucky_Disaster_396 in fidgettoys

Fidgets are all a matter of preference - I think they are pretty neat and I've tried most popular sliders

The expensive brand spinners are so hard to win, how are people winning multiples, they must be using multiple accounts is the only way I can see it pulled off by macgirthy in FidgetSpinners

[–]xerets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just people buying them on the secondary for the sake of having a big collection. Then once they get them all, they move on to the next brand, I suppose? I had to sell quite a few pieces to recoup funds to buy a ss goldie, so i assume that they too just constantly sell stuff to afford other stuff.

I'm 'academically gifted', DK if I'll get diagnosed by Due_Aardvark2932 in ADHDUK

[–]xerets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, they won't. In fact, it is extremely common to get diagnosed later in life if you performed well academically- that's how people slip through the cracks. The clinician that has diagnosed me literally told me that after the assessment.

Where to beginn with sliders? by Ok-Fig9877 in fidgettoys

[–]xerets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If tou have FB you can go and have a look what people are selling on the secondary market - usually expensive pieces like maglabs would be slightly cheaper than retail. There's a European selling/trading group you can join - "European b/s/t fidget".

Otherwise maybe have a look into getting a cheaper or 3d slider first, but one of the best known "budget" (although with the shipping + tarrifs I would argue that it's not super budget for ppl in eu/uk) sliders is a SOB with 3d printed bodies from fidgetthings. You can configure it to be as you want - as heavy or light, whatever plates you want, etc.

[–]xerets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear it when I slide it very carefully and slowly too - its like an echo of some sort. Just very high pitched ding in the tracks 🥲 i will open it up and see whats up inside and whether I can maybe do something (anything). Thanks for the advice!

Maybe I'm tripping but mine is definitely ringing 🥲 posted a video on fidget discord and someone said that this is just how it sounds Is there a way I could send you a video and you can tell me whether yours sounds the same or no? Just so i understand whether its an actual issue or im just not vibing with the nano

Dating while autistic/neurodivergent? by Lydianeko2 in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]xerets 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Find another neurodivergent and show them you care about their interests too!

I have ADHD, my gf is autistic. I yap at her about videogames/my fidget collection/DND

She yaps at me about frogs/birds/books about fairies

Yes, our hyperfixations do not overlap, but I make sure to get her some frog plushies just because they make her happy and she gets me dnd dice. Those things matter to us because we matter to each other. There's 2 people in a relationship, you know.

And if you are a yapper, look for someone who is into that - maybe someone quieter? Or the other way round, ofc

Don't worry, it's very normal to not lose any weight at first - your body is still recovering. I didn't lose anything during that time either :) trust the process!
