i need this fidget toy more than i have ever needed any other fidget toy
it’s currently in its fundraising phase, it looks like they’ll be ready to sell them in December 2016! image source and more information here at their kickstarter.
These images are meant for teachers, to help them understand the sensory issues that their autistic students may be dealing with, and to give them tips on helping their students manage these issues in the classroom. However, I think these could also be useful if you need to explain your sensory issues to other people, and to give them tips on how they can help you in general.
The combination of olfactory and tactile stimming would be quite calming, I think.

so the ones shown here are the “kids” versions – the stuff they aim to help with are more aimed at children (bed wetting, travel sickness)
that website looks like it’s an awesome resource for finding stim toys and stuff… but there’s one major issue: they don’t ship outside australia…
good news is: there are ADULT ones that you can buy CHEAPER and NOT IN AUSTRALIA
((while there is a lot of overlap in the kids’ vs adults’ mohdoh purposes, there are some exclusively adult clays, such as one which helps relieve symptoms of addiction))
you can check out their website to get more information on what each one does, and you can buy it a lot more inexpensively than the listed website if you go on amazon (amazon unfortunately doesn’t seem to have the kids one’s listed if you were more interested in those, but you can find them on mohdoh’s “kids” website or this one has a deal if you get 4)
Coloring is an activity that we tend to associate with children. As we grow older, we put aside our crayons and colored pencils in favor of more respectable writing utensils like pens and highlighters. However, it turns out coloring can be beneficial for adults – namely for its de-stressing power.
The practice generates wellness, quietness and also stimulates brain areas related to motor skills, the senses and creativity…
