Do you still have fidget toys?

I'm talking about fidget cubes and fidget spinners. Do you still have them? Do you still use them?

I know they've phased out more, and they aren't really as popular. I do still have mine.

I don't have one anymore, but I thought the sudden trend was interesting.

There was a point where they became common prizes in claw machines, although I'm not sure if that's still a thing.

oh man i almost forgot this fad existed haha, i never had them to begin with....it's faded out of existence so much

No, but if I did, it'd be in the trash by now.

Somewhere I do I keep forgetting about it ;-;
They are actually really nice tbh

I don't like how something initially for kids with issues sitting still (like autistic or kids with ADHD) suddenly was made into a "fad" that everyone hated and was banned even though things like this really can help :(

I'll be honest. I have both autism and ADHD, but they didn't really do me a lot of good. They also help people who have anxiety as well because I guess spinning or fidgeting is a way for people to calm down or unwind.

Of course I don't. I never did, either. Not interested.

nah

never really understood the whole appeal to the masses so i never really got into them.

I'm autistic myself and I can sit still if need be but I do find I tend to move a lot? I think my father has the same issue.

I have to fidget with something... but that's also why I wear a necklace. It's a huge fidget for me at times. So, I guess that could count as a fidget toy? *shrugs*

Most likely! And to be honest they could make toys that are less evasive and noisy?

I sometimes still use a fidget cube, like when I go to a place I'm not too confortable with, due to my autism. But I don't use a fidget cube much anymore.

sort of. back in high school i used to play with silly putty to help calm me down. i don't have it anymore, but im gonna see if my mom would be willing to buy me another small container. i miss it. it was really relaxing and helped my anxiety.
