We are a small stim toy business run by autistics! Many places that sell stim toys are focused on the needs and experiences of parents of young autistic children.  Here at FlappyHappy, autistic needs and voices are centred over caregivers. Our goal is to focus on autistic adults since so many shops market towards children and it can feel infantalizing. We want you to know that it’s okay to stim. It’s more than okay actually! If you benefit from stim toys, then they are for you!

We offer free worldwide shipping on orders of $70 CAD or more!

As a small business, it means the absolute world to us if you help us get the word out by sharing this, or even tagging us on or other social media.

I grew up in the 90s where I constantly was told to "Be Weird!" Apparently I was supposed to be neurotypical weird, not autistic weird.

excuse the vent, i am so fucking sick of interacting with the type of autistic person who manages to get to adulthood without ever understanding the specific autistic existential fear of being persistently misunderstood

the heads of the bespeed bolts are a little smaller than the indie ones so theyre a bit recessed rather than flush, but im willing to forgive that for the aesthetic lmao

,,i saw a beautiful opportunity today so i built a board for the first time (i have ridden prebuilds to this point)

it's jackson pilz' Toadadelic pro deck; 9.125x32.3 football shape with mellow concave and steep kick which???? amazing stats, absolutely perfect for me, also

I also love the aesthetic design of this deck; i love that they kept the woodgrain visible, i love that they gave it a split veneer, i love the palette they chose, and that they put the graphic off center, i love that the graphic is almost secondary to the wood of the deck itself, i love that the text on top relates to the graphic, and that the logo matches the colour on the flip side thereby bringing both sides together

so obviously i had to get clear griptape lmao i was back and forth between this clear mob and a dgk mushroom design bc it would match the toad but i eventually settled on clear to preserve the top side of the deck

the trucks are kien caple's K5 DLK trucks by krux. we werent familiar with kien before i bought these beautiful blue trucks that i thought would suit this board beautifully, but what a delight to discover that kien is also trans (transfem)!! a trans pro skaters trucks wowowowow!!!! and they have beautiful lovely doves on them too :)

the wheels are 55m 78a mini super juices by oj. the person helping me was astonished by how close the colour was to the colour of the deck, as was i. there were some sweet multicoloured spitfire classics that i was also considering, but i decided to stick with something closer to a cruiser wheel, which im more used to riding, and i love how i can see the bright pink wheel peeking out from the sides of the deck and seeing it with the green and blue

my partner graciously let me use his spare set of bones reds bearings, and the hardware is standard black indie, though i do want to look for some good gold hardware because Can You Imagine. it would be Beautiful

and then of course i added a couple stickers, the oj sticker down by the frog, and little alien sticking it out saying "lets get weird," which delighted me and which i thought would suit the theme of the deck. hes under the tape so hes nice and safe

Ive been standing on it in the apartment to get used to the feeling of it and to adjust the trucks, and the length of the board is soooooo prefect for me. Id go to step back after balancing on my front foot and id step right into the pocket, its perfect for my shoulder width. the steep kicks are awesome, they feel great for control for the limited amount i can get in here, aha, and the combination with the mellow concave is Awesome since im coming from crusier boards

I didnt set out to buy a board today, but man it really just jumped out at me. There were a couple really cool shapes at the shop today, and this was the best one. I was hypothetically looking at wheels and I asked if i could compare a couple sets, so i grabbed the board to put them against it at which point i was like,,,, i guess im gonna put this all together lmao. But it looks awesome!! and it feels good, and im excited to learn a trick or two on it this year

#nice! #self #get infodumped!

Anon was tested recently, but masked too hard and was not diagnosed with autism. They're certain they got a false negative but redoing the test is too expensive. They're wondering if others have had similar outcomes.

i don't know what autistic person needs to hear this but they are not watching you. the entire world is not constantly waiting for you to do something weird and laugh at you behind your back. you do not need to constantly self-police whenever there's the slightest chance another person might see you. you have a right to be your autistic self in public spaces. stop fighting yourself for their sake.
