Does ADHD make you fidget a lot? What do you play with, besides “official” fidget toys?

When I’m fidgeting- I fold paper & doodle, twirl my hair —-literally just find 2 things to do at once .

When I fidget I like to put in my earphones and focus on the words of the music instead 💜💕

I wiggle my toes, stretch my fingers, and run my hair over my lips.

I have rings on 7 fingers so they are good to fiddle with, and I carry a palm stone, either lapis lazuli or tigers eye in my pocket that I will spin.

@jesusredeemedme2425Yes, fidgeting is really common for people with ADHD. Many people don’t just use official fidget toys — they play with pens, hair, paper, or even tap their feet or hands. It’s a way to help your brain stay focused or release extra energy. You’re not alone in finding different ways to fidget.
