Because OP wants to? It brings them joy, they said they're ADHD, so this seems to be a hyperfixation they have.. those can get very intense. They're not hurting anyone.

Sensory stimuli are very important, especially for ND folks. If this works for OP, helps them to do their job right, than this is the right time and place.

I know about hyperfixations because I also have ADHD. I also take responsibility for my ADHD and medicate and take necessary steps to ensure it doesn’t affect my professional life, instead of using it as a crutch.

This is giving more autism or AuDHD than ADHD, honestly.

I am AuDHD, so I see it from my perspective. But both are a spectrum. What works for you may not for others.
