Et, comme il me restait énormément de maillons mâles seuls dont je ne faisais rien, j'ai fait pas mal de tests d'assemblage avec ces maillons.
Jusqu'à réussir à les assembler sur 2 anneaux de telle sorte qu'on pouvait faire un mouvement "infini" avec ce fidget : l'extérieur devient l'extérieur et ainsi de suite :

C'est comme ça que m'est venue l'idée d'en vendre (sur mon site, mon Etsy en en marchés).

Et c'est en réfléchissant aux mots-clés pour le référencement, que j'ai découvert le mot "fidget".
C'était donc ça, j'avais fabriqué mon 1er fidget !

J'ai diversifié mon offre en proposant des tailles differentes :

Et du coup, comme j'obtenais des bouts de chaine parfaitement propres, j'ai fini par en garder un en poche pour m'amuser avec.

Déjà toute petite j'avais toujours un "objet fétiche" en poche pour pouvoir jouer avec h24 : un caillou bien lisse (vous n'imaginez pas le nombre de cailloux dont je tombais amoureuse chaque année, j'ai toujours la collection 😅), un bout de bois que je trouvais parfait, un rond de caoutchouc, un anneau épais d'acier, ..
Plus tard on m'a expliqué que ce besoin de toujours s'occuper les mains était généralement lié au TDAH (qu'on m'a diagnostiqué adulte).

Bref, j'avais ce petit rond de chaine (j'avais fermé 6 maillons en cercle) en poche et ça me faisait un bien fou.
Ça m'occupait les mains mais aussi l'esprit quand une conversation devenait trop longue / trop ennuyante et ça m'évitait de sortir mon téléphone (ce qui est considéré comme plutôt malpoli m'a-t-on dit + d'une fois :3).
Et de triturer ce bout de chaîne m'aidait aussi à m'apaiser et à affronter des situations stressantes (genre passer un coup de fil, être passagère en voiture, ...).

Et surtout de + en + de potes me le piquaient en soirée, donc je finissais par leur en fabriquer et leur offrir :

Below is a post from the For the Love of Gabe Facebook Page. It’s one of his spelling sessions he has on Mondays and Thursdays. He uses a method in the sessions called Spelling to Communicate. I’d be interested in everyone’s thoughts.

Thursdays are Spelling Days!
It has been weeks since Gabe saw Ingrid! I couldn’t wait to hear what he had to say today! He wanted me to start so of course I asked him about how he felt about meeting his cousin Oliver!
EXCITED WARM BODY CLEARLY CUTE
WHEN WILL I SEE HIM AGAIN?
I told him we could visit next month if he wanted! SURE he replied
Gabe wanted to move on. He began
I HAVE WORRIES. IS MY CONTROL ERRATIC MOVEMENT OF MY HANDS
DONT EXPECT DULL TIMES WITH ME
I understood what Gabe was talking about right away. Last night we realized that he has a very deep wound on his finger and is developing blisters from the constant movement against his hands of the fidget belts. Gabe never puts them down except brief moments and when he is not holding them he must see them. It has been a huge help with his anxiety to have the fidget belts, but he relies on them way too much. We had to have a talk with him last night letting him know that he can’t have them anymore because of how injured his finger is. Gabe did not sleep last night. I knew this was going to be hard, but I feel this is the right thing. I know it is.
He received magnetic rings for Christmas that he seems to like holding. I gave those to him for the day and will have to think of some more things to keep his hands busy. I hate taking the belts away because they bring him so much comfort. Right now Caroline is at Urgent Care with him to get his finger checked out. We will see how that goes… #autism #spelling #fidget

It has been a really long time that I posted something.

But I wanted to update on the Stimbeans.

I added more colours.
The price is still €2,- (material costs)

✨ Link: ko-fi.com/asf_crafts/shop ✨

summary: a stimtools/fidget toys that can be attached to your keychain or fit in your pocket. They stimulate focus and can help with grounding. I originally designed them for people with Autism and ADHD.

_The Evening Post_, 27 September 1924:
            FIDGETY CHILDREN
Ought children to #fidget? The reply of the majority would certainly be in the negative. #Children should learn to sit still. To fidget is a bad habit; it gets on the nerves. And, as a clincher, to fidget is bad #manners.
  Nevertheless, manners apart—for what is good manners to-day may be bad manners to-morrow!—for a child to fidget is as natural and as necessary as physical growth—in fact, #fidgeting is growth!
  It is a sign of vitality, health, and mental and physical development. Children must fidget. And to suppress the habit is wrong.…
  The muscles are forming, the nerve system is being developed, and fidgeting is only an external sign of the internal life. It’s a safety valve, and it is as cruel as unwise to suppress it.…
  … #Play, romping, #exercise take the place of fidgets. Deprive a child of its play, and it is bound to fidget. Many children, too, must fidget as well as play. They are of the type with great vitality and health. Fidgets should be free. Life is motion and movement, and to suppress the motion and movement is always injurious. Parents should be worried if a child doesn’t fidget—not when it does!

I have #ADHD and made my own #fidget toy because nothing for sale has real toggles and pots. Or even little red push buttons. I’m going to make more. Yay fidget toys!

UPDATE: Wow this seems to have resonated with a lot of people. I'm going to have to build another one of these. Thank you everyone for the boosts, likes, ideas, and words of encouragement!

too many
people
children
dogs
on the heath
too much
noise

i fidget on my walk
to stop my irritation
from exploding into
anger

nothing calming
out here today
the cold the wind
the lateness
of spring

are land mines
in this war zone
of failed days
lost years

too many
thoughts even
it would be nice
just to live
not think nor
question

and i'm one of the lucky ones

am i
