I’ve put together some of our favorite support tools for autism & neurodivergence: fidgets, timers, art supplies (art is so beneficial for self regulation), and books.
Harkla Sensory Diet Workbook
If you’re new to the idea of sensory regulation this is a great resource. It is geared toward kids, but much of it is also applicable to adults. Our needs don’t disappear – we just get older. (Affiliate Link)
Self Regulation Tools
The remaining links point toward Amazon for now because it is the most accessible source for most people. Before making a snap judgement, please consider that many autistic and neurodivergent people rely on Amazon for products they need.* Remember that we need to support our own nervous systems so we can make the changes we want to see in the world.
If you purchase through these links I receive a very tiny referral fee. If you prefer to shop elsewhere you are invited to do so. Simply use these product pages as jumping off points to find similar items in indie shops.

* Reasons why autistic people rely on Amazon may include: overstimulation when shopping, chronic illness, under-employment, or rural locations where products are simply not available.
