My Everyday Sensory Kit

I like to think I'm a pretty incognito neurodivergent person, though I'm definitely not trying to hide it.

I just think my neurodivergence isn't everything I bring to the table — but only when I take care of my neurodivergence first.

That's the Catch-22:

My neurodivergence is everything until it's taken care of.

So here's how I take care of my sensory sensitivities so that neurodivergence doesn't become my entire life.

1. Noise-Cancelling Headphones (Headgear)

At a whopping $250, my Sony WHMX4s are absolute life-savers.

I use my headgear turned off most of the time.

Yes, they double as headphones, but their primary use is keeping my sensory world calm even when the world around me is noisy and chaotic.

2. Water Bottle

My water bottle doubles as sensory gear, because it gives me something to hold onto.

Having a water bottle is acceptable is every circumstance, so my hands always have something to do.

When you’re fidgety like me, something to hold onto can be incredibly grounding.

3. My Meds!

I hope this one is obvious, but here’s what my meds help with:

mood swings

negativity bias

suicidal ideation

sleep regularity

setting routines

focus

They help a lot, to say the least.

4. Weed

I placed weed in a different category to make a point, but it technically falls under “my meds” for me, because it helps with everything I mentioned in meds.

5. Stim Toys

I keep toys on-hand pretty much 24/7.

Some would call it childish, but those people don’t understand the purpose:

Stim toys help me stop biting my nails, bouncing my legs, and looking anywhere but the person speaking.

6. Nintendo Switch

Speaking of toys, let’s talk about real toys: My Nintendo Switch.

My Switch is in my sensory kit because I use it to escape and calm down in stressful environments.

Even in the midst of a busy airport, if I have my headphones + Minecraft, I can be peaceful.

7. Hoodies

Hoodies keep my arms warm and shape boxy.

It’s hard to identify if I’m a girl or a boy in a large hoodie—which is exactly what I like.

They’re part of my sensory kit because hoods actually help my hearing sensitivity, and they double as great sun shields.

I'd love to know what's in your sensory kit!

How to Make a Homemade Fidget Called Greek Worry Beads:

Supplies needed: You will need a piece of string and 5 beads. You will also need scissors if you need to cut the string to the right size.

Step 1:

a. Put the first bead in the middle of the string, so there will be a piece of string coming out each end of the bead. 

b. Take those two bits of string and have them face the same direction.

Step 2:

a. Thread one string through another bead, and thread the other string through the other end of that bead. 

b. Pull that bead down to the first bead.

 c. Do this with three more beads.

Step 3:

a. Tie the two strings together and leave a space between the last bead and the knot. 

b. Trim excess string, but do not trim too much if you want to tie your fidget to something, such as a key ring.

Step 4: Enjoy your fidget!

20+ Sensory Toys for Fall

not that the phrase stim/fidget toy is bad, but i think it'd be a good idea to call them "sensory aids" more often. they're tools neurodivergent people use to help ourselves function and enhance our wellbeing. they comfort us, help us focus, and safely give us the sensory stimulation our brains need. that's a lot more than a toy. and while anyone can have toys no matter how old they are, i think the fact they're overwhelmingly called toys instead of aids is related to the infantilization of (some) neurodivergent people, and the idea that we can "grow out" of our sensory needs - since they're also overwhelming seen as something for children to use, not adults.

ordering some fidget toys from flappy happy stim, and I can’t wait until they get here!!!! I love the ring because it’s kinda subtle therian gear (heheh they’ll never know), and the chewelry looks so adorable! I’ve also been obsessed with tangles since I first played with one during an appointment once, so I definitely had to get that too (HAS to be textured though because that’s the best). can’t wait to show up to school with that autistic drip 😎
