I honestly do not know the difference between and a stim toy and I usually use the two terms interchangeably.

My favorite fidget toys is my flippy chain. I use this thing all the time, at home or whilst I'm out, And I love that it's discreet and quiet.

What's your favorite fidget toy, or thing yiu like to fidget/stim with? (Crossposted from ADHD community)

Buddy of mine has two 3D printed spiral cone type things that perfectly twist together into one whole cone. Been meaning to get him to get me one from wherever he got his made. That thing never leaves my hand if I pick it up at his place.
