StimSensory Owner: Holly
StimSensory is currently a one person show. I started StimSensory after becoming frustrated with the lack of affordable stim toys aimed at adults available in the UK. I found that most of the options available were designed for children, and were often large, cumbersome items for sensory rooms instead of day to day stimming. I decided to start StimSensory so that adults could access stim toys that were chosen with them in mind.
Every non-autistic person is different, and the same applies to autistic people. So we should not expect everyone’s stimming needs and wants to be the same. StimSensory offers stim toys for every sense, to try to fill the gap in stim toys and provide stim toys for everyone.
Neurodiversity
StimSensory is run by a young autistic woman; me!
I therefore know just how incredibly fulfilling, fun, and stress-relieving stimming can be, and see it as a positive part of being on the spectrum.
StimSensory also aims to provide products for non-autistic people who benefit from stim toys, such as those with ADHD or trichotillomania.
Variety
StimSensory offers stim toys for every sense. Every person is different, and so are their ways of stimming.
I also aim to provide stim toys for teenagers and young adults, rather than focusing on children. StimSensory offers neurodiverse adults ways to stim subtly or with gusto, allowing you to choose how you stim.
Affordability
It is my belief everyone should be able to stim with every sense. Product prices are kept affordable so more people can access the items they need.
As only 16% of Autistic adults are in full time, paid work (National Autistic Society, 2016), StimSensory attempts to provide stimming options for people who may not have high disposable income.
