Really loved this video! Very useful, I might invest in some of my own putty now. Also, I'm blind, and I was really enjoying Lyra's detailed descriptions of everything, very helpful!!! Thanks! :)

This is awesome! I’m just now going through my own autism diagnosis process and I’m in school, so I’ve been looking for videos like this. Thanks :)

This is so great! I love this stuff! Didn't even know about some of them. I like how you kind of helped by letting us hear the tangles a bit. 😅😂...and the disclaimer at the end. 😄 Oh, and I like frogs. I had a cute little metal frog but mine was noisy. I could make it click and its little mouth would open making the sound. Was a keychain. Fastened it to the strap on my navigational cane! I gave them to my friends so we could find each other when we got separated at a store or were trying to meet up at a mall. They were noisy but not extremely noisy, just a signature small sound. Similar to a pen clicking but a little louder. 🎉

Such a great video! Wish I’d had something like this to watch when I was in school (might have to get a couple of these things for me to take to work now as a 25 year old haha!). Thanks Lyra & Pooky xxx

Lyra, thank you. You are so good at presenting! I love monkey noodles but the lovely boys in my class ping and whack each other with them which is fun, but not when we are in a maths lesson!

HI Lyra - superb stuff and great ideas for fidgets that I hadn't come across - now off to find some... I think YP in Cornwall would live this may we share on our YP website? And hope you do some more videos soon (and Ellie) 🙂👏👏👏

Thank you Lyra. I am a 47 year old woman, and I got diagnosed with ASD five months ago. I start to rediscover stimming which I have been suppressing for years and so I bought my first stim toys. This topic is so fascinating to me. Your video was helpful to me because I am looking for fidgets I can use at work. 🧡💕

Superb video Lyra. What good ideas you have there and so well presented. Lovely to see Buddy get a part, oh and that other person, whoever she is, seemed to learn from you. ❤ 😂
