Would you say that spinning chairs are better for people with ADHD? (beehaw.org)

As a person with ADHD I do enjoy spinning in my chair, and feel sad when it is missing. Do you think all chairs should spin so that people like me can feel happier?

Well no, I don't think it's appropriate for ALL chairs to spin, but have you thought about traveling with a lazy susan to sit on when you encounter a non spinning chair? Also ADHD here, but I don't find myself wanting to spin in chairs, I'm more of a rocking left and right absentmindedly type person.

Ah, I see, The office I worked in has these funky chairs that I can mess with. I routinely see myself spinning and messing with it during meetings

+1 to the rocking type of neurodivergent here, but I rock back and forth. I rarely spin.
