    I read the title initially as "slim toy collection" and then saw the shark in the thumbnail and thought "that's not a very slim boyee"

    A silly fun fact I actually picked up from the fountain pen community (my special interest): the reason why your hands smell weird after touching some metals (metal slinkies, copper fountain pens etc) is actually because some of the metal ions bond to lipids present on your skin, causing a distinct smell that may be offputting to some people. The metal in itself doesn't actually smell, it's the contact with skin causing a reaction. I don't particularly like the smell either, so I tend to go with plastic alternatives where possible.
    My current main stim is just rubbing my fingers over the tomoe river paper in my hobonichi cousin (it's sooo smooth)
    Lovely video as always!

    If you're wondering the Squishmallow you have is a squishville! They're basically mini Squishmallows! I love rewatching this video, it's so relaxing. I don't have many fidgets because most I find way too loud or overwhelming. But oddly my wack tracks is fine, definitely need to pick up some tangles! And thank you again for making a safe space in the comments, it's lovely to see

    kind of off topic, but needle felting is a great activity for autistic people who like to try new topics. it’s easy, doesnt take too long, has a satisfying needle movement, and creates a soft toy!!

    I have a jellycat bee. They really are wonderfully soft (plus the bee has beans in, which is a nice feel). I got a number of my tangles at The Works in the UK, plus a variety of other stim toys. They get new things in fairly often.

    Hi everyone! So they mentioned in this video they want the comments to be people sharing links and such so I thought I'd give it a go! I'm currently on the search for stim toys that are on keychains preferably not from Amazon because those are all over priced and cheaply made! I prefer things like sensory brushes (or anything with a bumpy or squishy texture) pressable buttons, crunchy things but I just haven't found anything but popits on keychains :

    this just made me go and get a bunch of my old stim toys out 😄
    One of my favourites is this little TY seal plush - I think it was part of their Beanie Boos range? It's perfectly hand-sized and I mostly use it as a sort of stress ball, but it has different types of stuffing in different areas (cotton wool and "beans") and the giant shiny eyes, so it's very tactile.
    I love fidget spinners, but now the ones I had from a couple of years ago are worn out, and I'm having a hard time replacing them as they're no longer a "playground trend" so shops aren't selling them :(

    Would love the spinny tree from early on. The specific rice you dad is called a d20 it has 20 sides, in case people are searching to it. If you love rice there are dice collecting videos on here. The molecule thing looks good too. WOOD animals Ostheimer a German brand also Eric and Albert in he uk they are often listed under Montessori toys. Many different animals available tho. But as you say they feel nice. Right with you on tangles and also jellycat plushies. The PEACH fuzz texture on the figure is called flock. Feels nice tho doesn't it. There is a tangle with that coating too. Thanks for sharing this.👍👍❤

    Such a lovely video! Honestly with my adhd I find myself stimming with the most random object near me (though I’ve been gravitating towards a beaded bracelet my best friend got me), so seeing a nice selection helps remind me that I should go out and buy a stim toy for myself!

    I also have a fidget cube, but it's a flimsy off-brand one and the joy-stick part just broke off. Because of that, I don't like to use it anymore. :( I'd like to replace it, but still have to consider price and shipping costs. :|

    i love how autistic people tend to have a little box full of stuff they like to stim with like a cat or dog would have a little toybox too full of little sensory objects. I would have one if i wasnt so disorganised, but my brother has one and its filled with stuff like this too. i tend to stick with bodily stims and echolalia or making random objects into stim toys and making a general mess, but i ordered myself some slimes recently and im really excited. i need to start taking care of my stuff though lmao.

      You would technically be considered nuerodivergent. However, a lot of people when talking about neuerodiversity are talking about autism and ADHD so not saying you can't call yourself nuerodivergent but keep that in mind
