Stimwave

Stimwave is based on colorful fidget toys and sensory gifs often found on Tumblr and Pinterest, for neurodivergent people, by neurodivergent people. 
Stim toys were created to help those with autism, ADHD, and other disorders or neurotypes under the neurodivergent umbrella, but they began to embrace each other and created surreal GIFs and videos involving poking, stretching, squeezing, folding, and cutting objects with often unique viscosity.
This aesthetic is directly related to a phenomenon knows as Supernormal Stimuli. This is evident in animals as well as people and is usually caused by an attraction to vibrant colours, round and smooth shapes and interesting textures. Because of this instinctual behaviour to vibrant objects, one can feel a sense of satisfaction when interracting with them.
