bring on the stim toys! A few of my faves invole a special spinning top that makes these little amoeba critters dance, a brightly coloured rubber ball that lights up when you bounce it, a bright freen soft as rubber inflated ball that has all these little tentacle things on it (oooh yummy!), holographic glitter that you can sprinkle on your bedroom floor...
oh yes, I love stim toys

especially if they light up! I love those ones that slowly change colour.
once I was going to visit some autistic friends for christmas, so I bought some stimmy paper (you know, that coloured shiny holographic rainbow wrapping paper stuff), and put it all through a paper shredder so I had millions of stimmy strips, then I put all those strips into a gift box. when they opened it they kept tossing the stimmy strips into the air

they loved it, it got everywhere, all over the floor of their flat, even down the stairs and outside!
