@ArraDreaming mm it's tough to know how much to reveal and to whom, there's a need for some trust/safety in being open to talking about these things with how stigmatised they are. If you don't want to actually say it's cos of ADHD or accessibility needs, you could also just say you've got some condition (like arthritis or something) that means you need to be able to get up and move around periodically?

Whatever you need to do to get your needs met @ArraDreaming, sometimes we NDs gotta find workarounds. We shouldn't have to, cos we ought to be living in a society that caters to everyone's needs but we don't. You will find the way forward, even if it's enduring the monotony and restlessness tomorrow then making sure you have something planned for after where you can burn off all the excess energy - like jumping into the ocean or heading to the skate park or something.
@creative_writer bahaha oh yeah been there! Have ended up with way too many of a stim toy once (and not even one I ended up liking, woops 😅).

Yeah big yikes @creative_writer. Always a risk with online shopping hey!
@ArraDreaming yep creative_writer is right, you don't have to justify your needs, you can just be super vague, you don't owe them your private info.
Anyway you two, I'm off! Nighty night 😊💜
