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.
     
    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.

    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*
     
    A fidget toy might be good for me to help me deal with my brother's burping better.....o___O;

    He burps pretty often nowadays and it freaks me out loads.

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