I just finished a long and insanely stressful sensory overload appointment to deal with some government paperwork stuff, and I realized partway in that I could REALLY use something unobtrusive to stim with. Anybody have good recommendations for something small enough to slip into my purse and that wouldn’t look far too awkward to use in a public environment dominated by neurotypical people? (I’m not concerned about looking a little awkward, lol, that ship sailed a long time ago)

    A well balanced retractable ballpoint pen. The type with aluminum body. I can make it rotate on my hand, and push the button really quick to help me focus. The trick is to push the button but not fully, in order to not produce any noise that could annoy people around you.
