What is Reddit's opinion of Miracle Modus?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.seebs.apps.modus I really like this one called Miracle Modus. It's different patterns of geometric shapes and gentle sounds, some interactivity. Very good when sensory overload happens.

My job mostly involves making phone calls, but it's not a really fast paced job so I can take little breaks in between. When I am in the middle of making calls, I use the Modus app. I put it on my desk and look at it while dialing, or in between.

edit: I like the noise one; Google Play has it. I can't get Binaural Harmonics, but I'll look for something similar for Android. Thanks for your suggestions.

I have an hour break, which is really nice. I go to a cafe next door that is usually empty and full of cute things like socks and tea cups.

My body is really weak and I have unexplained vague musculoskeletal pains, so it hurts already from just...being alive. Right now the most I can take is working. But - I feel really recharged and rejuvenated after going home, watching my current anime, and taking a hot shower and then bath. Also, yoga before bed.

Not schizophrenia, but an app used for Autistic people to "stim" and ground themselves, and perhaps you misremembered: Miracle Modus?

Thank you, that really makes me happy!! I do have a lot of points where I struggle to function, but my partners and I are a good team, I think.

Oh yes, oh yes, I can absolutely relate to that. Touching has to be on my terms, always. I'm like a cat in a lot of ways. I know some people don't like that comparison but it's perfect for me. I love biiiiiiggggg big squeezy bear hugs, but light touches can be painful, as well as unwanted or unexpected touches. Oh lord with the pain though. For me it's always been hot/cold--I'll touch things that I really, really shouldn't, and I used to run around without a jacket in well below freezing temperatures. I've burned myself, and one time I impaled my foot on a big old roofing nail and didn't feel it. My mom was more freaked out than I was. I just chalked that up to adrenaline, but...

Sensory processing issues are weird, basically. Things that should be nothing can make me cry, while things that have a very real chance of actually harming me get no reaction. I'm aware of it and I can logically reason 'yeah, maybe I shouldn't touch that', but...sometimes I do anyway. x:

Yes! I like rocking! When I am stressed I am very prone to headbanging but I've been doing a good job doing that less. I was BAD about it when I was undiagnosed, and it was scary because I didn't know why I did it. Being in the middle of a meltdown, slamming my head against the wall, and hearing my friend threaten to call the cops, while none of us knew why it was happening...that was terrifying. 0/10 would not recommend.

Absolutely! If you know specific sensory stimulation she seeks often I can try to make specific recommendations. I like Thinking Putty, chewable jewelry, spinner rings (and yes, fidget spinners), and handheld puzzles and fidgets! All of those things can be found on the following sites:

• My go-to for stim toy/jewelry recommendations is always Stimtastic. It's autistic owned and operated and offers toys and jewelry for many sensory needs, many of them oral. If she's a chewer, they've got various firmnesses from soft (like the roses, good to just lightly nibble on, very, very satisfying) to really firm (for those who shred everything they put in their mouths...ah, my pencils as a kid...you could tell they were mine, is what I'm saying).

• Sadly, Office Playground is no longer around, but it was an AMAZING place to get stim toys. Look into cheap desk/office toys, a lot of them are very, very stimmy for all kinds of sensory needs. A classic for me has always been the Tangle fidget toy, and anyone can enjoy it, too. It comes in lots of colors and textures and sizes. I think Stimtastic sells it as well, but they're often sold out. I buy my Tangles locally.

• If you have a United Art and Education store or similar near you, that's a GREAT place for stim toys, especially since the fidget spinner/cube craze made fidget toys more mainstream. They put together a section of dedicated fidgets and stim toys and I honestly kind of cried seeing it, since previously I had to hunt down a lot of those toys online. It made me feel really good and valid. They even had chewies! (at a high price, but...still!) I've never used their website, but they do sell things through it, so if you don't have one local, definitely check out the site! (actually, on checking the site, it looks like they were founded where I live! Neat!)

• There's also Fidget Club, which offers a similar selection to Stimtastic. It carries some things Stimtastic doesn't, and like Stimtastic, it's autistic owned and operated. I've never purchased from Fidget Club, but I definitely browse the site window shopping often enough!

For apps:

• I really love Miracle Modus (Android, iOS). It has lots of modes and settings and it's helped me calm down in meltdowns before. I hold up up to my face and just stare at it. It's autistic made!

• Magic Fluids (Android) is really nice and pleasing, but it can be a battery hog. There's a free version as well with far fewer settings, but I found the full version worth it, absolutely.

• Neko Atsume (Android, iOS) isn't necessarily stimmy, but it's cute and casual. It's especially good for people who are anxious and feel the need to check on things frequently. It's very calming for me and can be completely played without in app purchases (though they ARE available, as a heads up). You put out food and toys, close the app, then open it any amount of time later, and you might have attracted cute kitties! You can take pictures of them and collect their sightings, and if they visit you enough, they'll give you a memento.

If she likes puzzles or other sorts of games I have plenty of recommendations there, too! I looooove puzzle games. Love love love.

Re: schedules...
That's a tough one! I'm all about planning, knowing what's gonna happen, when, and why (having a chronically late mother has been hell my whole life, let me tell you), and I love having routines. BUT! Sometimes those routines cause a lot of stress if I have trouble keeping them, more stress than not trying. This is most apparent with sleep, I get REALLY anxious about my sleep, and I have unkind thoughts about myself, and it's just...not good. When I manage good sleep and get my routines right I'm happy as a clam! But when I have other stressors impacting them, trying to keep them going can add to it. You might need to test around with this one, see if some routines might be causing more stress than they should.

Ah, thank you! Yeah, I grew up not knowing why I was the way I was...I thought I was just a 'normal kid' (albeit with ADHD) who was just a terrible, lazy, childish jerk. I tried to do everything right and I could never understand why I failed so much. No one understood my meltdowns, not even me, and they were scary. I was convinced I was choosing to be bad and throw tantrums, but I didn't know why. My mom would call me Sybil because of them, and that stings to this day. I am SOOOOOO much happier these days now that I can cope and work with my brain instead of against it! <3
