What can I try to help with fidget tools?

Test three different fidget types to find your preference: tactile (putty, textured stone), proprioceptive (resistance band, stress ball), or repetitive motion (fidget ring, slider). Use each for a full day before deciding. Choose fidgets that pass the "classroom test": silent, no visual distraction to others, operable with one hand without looking at it. A fidget ring or quiet putty works; a clicking cube does not. Keep one fidget in your coat pocket, one in your bag, and one on your desk. Having them within reach at all times means you use them when needed rather than doing without. Pay attention to which SITUATIONS benefit from fidgeting and which do not. Many people find fidgets help during listening tasks but not during writing or creative work. Map your fidget-benefit situations.
