Discreet, they slip into the bag, the pencil case, the pocket...
Why do we all need fidgets?
Fidgets were originally designed to help children and adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or those with autistic disorders. However, these tools can be useful for everyone! Indeed, simple movements such as biting your nails, spinning your pen or even nervously moving your leg highlight the motor needs we have, to concentrate or to de-stress. These tools, such as a stress ball for hyperactive people who encourages manipulation is then an appropriate response to our movement needs.
