I loved my art teacher in my old school. She kept a basket of fidgets in her class and anyone who was having trouble paying attention could get one, as long as they weren't misusing it. We need more teachers like her

That sounds great. I have really long art lessons so my art teacher lets us walk around the room a couple of times if we are bored but a basket of fidget toys sounds great. One thing I need to work on is not getting distracted and hyperfocussing on the toys instead of what I’m meant to be doing.

I noticed an expanding ball in the children's box when I was seeing my therapist, I now grab it to fidget with before a session. Personally I'd love an therapist with autism or something similar. In 'Real-life 'Iron Man': How paralyzed surgeon is able to perform surgeries: Part 1' the surgeon says rather then people rejecting him they actually ask for him specifically and people in the comments where basically going 'of course they would, because he'd understand what people are going through'. Although at the moment more therapists with a focus on helping disabled adults rather then just children would be great, disabled or not.

My fidget toy of choice has always been manufacturer tags. The smooth woven fabric that usually has country of origin or material content printed on it. Not the silk ribbons, not rough woven design tags. The ones that come on pretty much everything from ikea, new hand towels, and even camping stuff like tents and sleeping bags. They are portable, free, last for as long as you can keep track of them, and help me pay attention or calm down. I rub them between my fingers, or the back of my hand or wrist, or my lips and chin and cheeks if I am alone. My parents, husband, and kids all help me keep track of my tags, and bring them to me when they come across them. My former therapist said that was an excellent coping mechanism, especially since I keep my habit on the down low. It's way less obnoxious than a pen click, or watching me bite my nails, which are usually what happens when I can't find my tags. Does anyone else use tags like this? I know the ribbon style taggies are popular now.

It would irritate him so much as he didn't need to fidget and it is the only way I can fall asleep, tried so many different things. As a kid I got yelled at to stop being "annoying" to my brother or sister "your doing it on purpose." There is so much I wish I had known about ADHD growing up My mom was a big support as a teen, but there is just so much we didn't know back then that could have helped (1, the internet had just started, and two the research wasn't that prevalent as it is now.) thank you so much for your channel its been a blessing and there have been a lot of ahha moments.

I never thought fidgeting was okay. I just recently got diagnosed with ADHD at age 22 (they could not declare what type, but I strongly assume I am combined). I am a chronic fidgeter, and everyone I know has pointed it out or teased me about it. In school I was picked on and even worse, I sometimes rock back and forth during reading and watching videos... I have had people call me insane. It is freeing to know there is a community/tribe out there for brains like ours to connect, and freeing to know that I do not have to worry about forcing myself to stop such a chronic symptom, but rather use it to my advantage and help me accept who and how I am. I am crying lol

This is great! I used to get told of for fidgeting a lot, and my favourite fidget/stim activity was to twirl my hair (which was quite short) into a really tight twist, at my left temple, to the point where it could stick out from the side of my head, & 'defy' gravity. Sometimes I would absent-mindedly have about three of four of them sticking out. I copped a lot of flak from other kids for my 'weird hair', but it helped me stay focussed, without clicking/tapping my pen, jiggling/tapping my feet, or drumming with my hands & fingers.

I don't know if I have adhd (even though I display some symptoms), but one thing that always makes me concentrate during class is to disassemble my pen and reassemble it. Also I almost always move one of my legs up and down constantly. They really help with my attention. Also music helps too. I am constantly singing sth inside my head and it really makes concentrating easier. I have a theory that I call the ram theory based on these. My idea is that our brains are like a computer system that is completing tasks. it only has that much processing power for a specific amount of tasks, so if I can't concentrate I try to fill up my "ram" with subconscious things like music or fidgetting so that my conscious only has enough processing power to do 1 task.

Love the video. I always have an few elastic bands around my wrists and use them as a fidget. Its discreet and cheap! one down side they make your hands smell rubbery, but its either that or keep on asking 'can you repeat the please' and looking stupid

I want a fidget toy but my mum won’t let me. She says that they are only for special needs kids. I feel like I need to fidget tho. And I do. But she won’t let me. I have to use the things around me to fidget. It would be much easier to use a fidget toy, but I can’t. I feel like she only cares abt my brother, bc they have autism snd I don’t. I just want a fidget toy, is that too much to ask!?

I LOVE these videos. I suppose it's because you also have ADHD, so you know how to appeal to others with ADHD and ADD. The fast paced content, quick talking. Though I suppose if you weren't doing those things these videos wouldn't be made. In other words, you just got yourself a new brain!

I always have to have something in my hands, and I have always called it "my toy". If I don't have one, I play with my earring until I break them or hurt my ear. I try really hard not to play with my wedding ring. I WANT THAT LAST TOY, IT'S PERFECT!!!!

I have a friend that paces a lot especially if he's stressed. it doesn't hurt anyone and he's quiet and he can even hold a conversation while pacing. But sometimes people tell him to stop pacing and sit down because "he's stressing them out," I always get really mad at them. Because that's just him.

Quick question! How do people use their phone as a fidget toy? I get the other ways people (including me) fidget to focus, but I don't understand how to fiddle with a phone? Like are they USING the phone or flipping it over, tossing and twirling it or.... ???? If I do anything on my phone, it's a huuuuge distraction to me. Ahh what I'm trying to say is, what are the mindless actions some people do with their phone to help them focus? That wasn't short at all, so sorry u.u I hope my question makes sense. Your videos are so great, I'm so happy I found your channel omg when I first watched one of your videos, it felt like I found gold and thank you thank you thank you for making such helpful videos and giving all the tips and resources!!!

Yeah just flipping in around in your hand, but I'll sometimes play mindless games on it while I listen to something. I also find myself unconsciously checking my email or social media while someone is trying to talk to me. Trying to avoid that though because same problem -- it'll start out as me just fidgeting but then something will catch my attention and I'll get distracted.

I don't wear socks or shoes inside the house and I actually fidget with my feet while working on my computer... or watching movies, playing video games, doing homework. Ok pretty much all the time. I stored textured, small, 2-lb weights under the desk a few years back (I never used them!) Over the years I've noticed that by nighttime, these weights are all over the place under my desk. I'll grab them with my feet, roll them under my feet, roll them between my toes, twirl them around between feet, twirl them on top of my feet, try to stay balanced on top of them, etc. Glad to know that I've unconsciously been helping myself. :D Best thing is is that it's silent. Because they are covered in a textured rubber and my room is carpeted. I wonder if my feet are getting stronger? Weight lifting for feet? hmm...
