Behold, the fabled stim post!

Stede

- The Classic, flappy hands <3

- rocks back and forth on his feet

- spins/twirls, especially to music

- walks on his toes if he's not wearing shoes

- bites his nails as a nervous stim

- stims with nice fabrics <3

- paces when he's nervous

- snapping/clicking his fingers

- shakes his fists up and down

- bounces

- drums his fingers on surfaces

- taps his feet against the floor

- give him some drum sticks and he'll go wild, the man is a drummer

- loves pressure stims. weighted blankets, getting Stede to lay directly on top of him, and the feeling of tight leather are some of his favorites

- also stims with nice fabrics, but most the ones Stede is wearing

Izzy

- Running his hands along Poppy's fur

- nail polish asmr videos

- draws on his skin and clothes with markers absentmindedly, specifically really likes drawing stars

- hums the tunes of his favorite songs when he's alone

Olu

- sort of specific one here: he pulls his knees to his chest and then pulls his hoodie over his legs

- fidgets with rubik's cubes

- yo-yo king, king of the yo-yo

- blows bubbles. really likes those bubble wands that look like swords

Jim

- This one is kinda specific, but I think they have one of those practice butterfly knives that they spin around a lot. They want a real one but they aren't allowed to have one just yet.

- cutting wood with their pocket knife

- rips leaves off of plants and tears them up

- popping the bubbles that Olu blows

Lucius

- Stim toys galore. Has more pop-its and cute squishies than strictly necessary, but uses them all often. aways has several in his backpack. He'll share with anyone who needs one

- chew necklaces that he matches to his outfits

- flippy sequins!

- claps his hands and bounces when excited

- calligraphy asmr videos. with the sparkly ink <3

- dances as a happy stim

John

- pulls his arms into his sweater sleeves

- has one of those 3D printed slug fidget toys that he carries around a lot

- swimming as a stim! the water feels nice

Pete

- stress balls! specifically those ones with the goo inside and the nets around them.

- punches at the air when he's excited

Frenchie

- Flappy hands with sweater paws!

- also has lots of stim toys! really likes fidget cubes

- slaps his hands against any surface. tables, walls, his own legs.

- always humming and whistling

Buttons

- bird sounds! he'll echo different calls that he hears

- just generally repeats sounds he hears

- animal stims. will pet any animal for long periods of time.

Roach

- slime!

- loves how soft flour is, will shove his hands in a bag of flour

- bites his fingers

- finger painting

- fidgets with those stretchy lizard toys

- rainbow groan tube

Swede

- bites the straw on his water bottle

- runs his hands along his favorite blanket

- vocal stims from his favorite cartoons :]

and now, shared stims!

- I think most of them, if they make a sound at someone in the house, the other will echo it back most of the time. if several of them are in one spot they just go on with this for a bit.

- Ed and Frenchie are the musical boys, and if one of them starts humming or whistling or drumming a beat, the other will probably join

- Ed and Stede both fidget with their wedding rings <3 (they also eventually catch onto this and think it's very sweet they both do it)

- Ed, Lucius, and Swede are the chewy necklace gang.

- watching stim videos is a family activity, they all give their input on which ones they like or don't like after each one

- Ed and Stede will hold hands and spin together, but they can't do it for very long. Very good stim for very high happy energies :]

please share with me any other stims you think any of them would have <3 or if you do any of these let me know!

My complete (ish) collection of stim toys

Here’s all my stim toys!! Most of them are from @stimtastic, my favorite place to get stim toys. They’re autistic owned, support autistic artists, and give a percentage of profits to autistic charities (ones that actually help autistic people.) I didn’t include some of the ones that i both dont use anymore and dont have the links to. I need to buy some more pretty soon so this is my Almost complete collection.

Side note: All chewies are made of food grade silicone. All metal things (from stimtastic) are stainless steel or some other hypoallergenic metal. Check their site for more info.

What are your guys’ favorite places to get stim toys? and what are your favorite stim toys?

Anyways links to most of these are under the cut

Chewable Dulcimer Pendant Necklace - mine is in the color mint. It’s for light chewing and like all of the chewables, it’s dishwasher safe or can be cleaned in boiling water. They’re all made of food grade silicone

Chewable Braid Pendant - mine is in the color sapphire though I dont use it much bc im a light chewer and it was too hard for my teeth

Chewable Trapezoid Necklace - mine is in black. it came with an extra charm so i have two!

Pink metal fidget spinner - i got this one from my brother, I don’t know where it’s from. I like it bc its heavy and a nice color. I’m kind of scared it has lead in it lol.

Snow Globe Picture Frame mine is pink. my friend got it for me from urban outfitters and I never put a picture in it. its literally the best thing ever for visual stimming and its nice and heavy. It’s pretty sturdy too.

Pink and purple tangle - my friend’s little sister got it and didn’t want it so she gave it to me. It’s a cheap version of the tangle and the joints dont work very well. I need to get a real tangle soon because mine broke. Tangles are 10/10 good classic fidget toys.

Weighted Sparkly Stingray - Mine is blue/pink/purple and I took the eyes off bc they were in the way. This one is one of my favorites too, though careful not to squeeze or chew the sand animals bc the sand can come out. That only happened to me a couple times. It’s held up pretty well otherwise.

Black Spinner Ring - This one came too big for me and I never got around to returning it.. i still need to get another one in my size. I still like this one and stim with it sometimes, it just doesnt fit my tiny tiny fingers. Very good, most discreet stim, though it does make some noise.

Green fidget cube - you can probably get these just about anywhere. Idk where mine is from because it was a christmas gift from a friend a couple years ago. This one is very fun but the buttons are very loud. Mine has some quiet options on it as well but the clicky ones are more fun haha.

Green glitter jar necklace - from stimtastic, but I’m not sure if they carry them anymore. This is like my photo globe, but smaller. My photo globe is too big to take with me places so I’m excited to be able to take this one with me. Glittery visual stims are my favorite.

Slow Rising Seal Squishy - Very soft and squishy!!! he’s a foam squishy, but unlike other foam squishies I’ve seen, he’s very soft and easy to squeeze which is perfect for me and my achy hands. Another one I recommend for people who need softer squishies is the Stretchy Squish Ball. Mine broke so I need to get a new one soon. It’s very soft just don’t pinch it with your nails bc it can break.

Pearl Jar Pendant - idk what to call this. It’s a tiny glass jar with tiny plastic pearls in it. Its very fun to shake. It makes a nice noise and feels nice. I found it in my mom’s scrapbooking stuff and it’s been mine ever since.

Animal Puzzle/Pull Apart Erasers - these guys come in sets of 5. I only have one because it came as a december stimpalooza prize. Mine is a pink panda but they have many more animals and colors on their site. These give me so much nostalgia also

Paint brush head - i took a paint brush head off a giant paintbrush. It’s very soft and I like to brush it on my hands and arms. Another favorite.

Pink, yellow, and blue metal slinky - I found this one at my mom’s thrift store and its very fun to fidget with. though it is cheap and the paint comes off easily and it smells like metal, its a ton of fun

Snake Twist Necklace - like a tangle, but grown up. This thing is amazing, and if you dont like the giant one, they have these tiny Snake Twist Rings. It’s made of metal and is held together by tiny interlocking joints. It won’t pinch your skin and it’s very very sturdy and fun to play with. I would love to see a bracelet sized one soon

Lava Rock Bracelet - the special needs aide at my church gave me this. You can put essential oils in the rocks and it’ll hold the scent. I don’t remember what theyre from but any jewelry with lava rocks are good for essential oils. I would also recommend this Aromatherapy Locket or any stainless steel locket with holes in it and a felt pad for diffusing oils.

Mini Hedge Balls - These come in sets of 5 but as you can see, I have more than that. Some I gave to my brother, some i lost, but in total I think i’ve bought about 3 sets of these because I love them so much. I haven’t used them recently but any spiky rubber ball is best for when I need more sensory input. they’re fun to just squish and roll in your hands but they are hard to keep together. Stimtastic has other options that are harder to lose so make sure you check those out.

Long Rock - it’s a rock and it’s long. perfect size for holding

And finally, Weird Yellow Rubber Thing - This one was also at the thrift store (it came brand new) and it’s very fun to play with. The texture is fun and you can squeeze it and pick at the “hairs.” there’s tons of toys out there exactly like this one. The closest I could find on stimtastic is this Puffer Ball.

Also, fun fact about stimtastic, each order comes with a rubber bracelet with a quote about stimming on them. Here’s all of mine, I think I might have the complete collection now.

Blue: Just Keep Stimming

Grey: I Stim, Therefore I am

Red: Flappy Hands are Happy Hands

Purple: Keep Calm and Stim on

Also because I never stop talking about my stim toys, here’s all my my favorites. I keep these ones on my bedside table at all times, give or take a couple toys.

the pink tangle has been replaced by the snake fidget.
