Autistic Infinity Symbol Stress Ball/Stimtoy

Item: These egg-shaped, egg-sized stress balls were crocheted with 100% cotton yarn and each contain a combination of polyester pillow stuffing and plastic beads*. They're great for discrete stimming, like squishing and fondling -- or not-so-discrete shaking around to feel the subtle weight shift from one end to the other.

Quirks: Anyone who likes a good stim toy can benefit from something like this, but the symbol here was inspired by the autistic community's use of the infinity sign to represent pride, diversity, and a rejection of the use of "missing piece" symbolism vis-à-vis Autism Speaks. This symbol is typically seen as rainbow or gold, and these stress balls were originally designed during the annual Autistic Creative Festival in April 2023.

*Although there shouldn't be any issue with typical use, it's possible that particularly aggressive squishing and squeezing could cause some beads to pop out. This item is not intended for small children or those who aggressively chew and risk swallowing or choking on small parts.

**The marketplace currently adds tax automatically based on location; this may change and I unfortunately can't account for it.
