Got a better one and merely owning it cured my autism completely. I don't even have to spin it just the satisfaction of owning the best. 3 minute spins baby!*

At my graduation ceremony earlier this week and two of the guys running the sound equipment were using these. It was so unbelievably douchey to see grown people using these things in public.

Without my autism my adhd took over and made me bored of fidget spinners. Now the autism is back in full force. I have to spin the spinner just to be baseline. I am much worse without the spinner now.

Be careful people!

I don't understand how these videos even exist. Who sees someone standing there recording and then acts like a jackass anyway? And for that matter, why would some mom brutally self-own like that by sharing it ?

So a kid can't concentrate because of ADD or autism and constantly fiddles with something and some clever clogs decides to give him a toy it can fiddle with even more and thinks this will help?
And normal kids can't concentrate for 10 minutes because that's the length of a tv show until the first ad break and now they bring these to school and people serious wonder why this is a problem?

We've had so many fads, from those plastic pacifiers and pogs to those allegedly Greek beads on strings. They all were useless toys but I guess since every misbehaving kid of fail-parents nowadays is attributed autism, these spinners sell like hotcakes.

Re: Greek beads, Komboloi are so much more dignified than beglari or fidget spinners.

Wait, is this what kids are like these days? I'm in my 30s and getting married in a few months and the possibility of kids happening is real.

Are they taught it's ok to be a dumpy, rude, combative, lazy, whiner 24/7 now or what? How has his mom not fidget-spun his head off of his neck and dumped the remains into a trash can by now?

I'm simultaneously 37 and 73 already. It's pretty sweet, IMO. I get to make fun of kids these days AND old(er) people because both those groups suck and I'm not them... yet.
