I, 23F, am diagnosed with AuDHD. One of my favorite fidgets I use to help keep me calm and grounded especially in public is NeeDoh. Because of this stupid trend, my local stores have been out of NeeDoh for months. I just went into a local toy store that always has a high stock of sensory toys, and not only was there a literal mob in there, but there was a worker asking every patron walking into the store if they were there to buy NeeDoh and showing them where the line started in order to wait for it. It literally zigzagged through the whole store. Even if I wanted to try and find another sensory toy, I would have to muscle my way through that mob which to me isn’t worth the sensory overload. For some of us, these “toys” are accessibility tools. I get that NeeDoh is cool, I like it too, but buying it out to the point of making it unavailable for months on end is so extremely frustrating. Even accessibility tools that are over the counter and typically accessible for those who appear low support needs are now becoming less and less available. I know eventually this will die out, but I’m just sad and worried that one of my two NeeDoh cubes is beginning to crack and I won’t be able to replace it. If anyone knows where to get it online or in store that will actually be available please let me know.😔
