So in the week and a half that my work has had fidget spinners, we've sold nearly a thousand of them, including $4000 worth in the first three days alone. I knew that they were popular and that we were one of the few local places selling them, but I didn't figure it was going to be quite to that extent.

I ended up getting one, and I'm actually playing with it more than I expected to. It's fun to use when I'm watching Youtube or something, but I don't think I'd be walking around all over the place spinning it.

they help people who have adhd and autism and people who need them, and it's a bit upsetting that they're the new fad now that everyone's using for fun even if they don't need them. the same thing happened with the fidget cubes but thankfully thats dying down now. i don't have a fidget spinner as i prefer the fidget cubes personally.
Yeah, I use mine for my autism and ADHD as well. It really helps me in other ways because my anxiety can also get really bad. It gives me something to mess with when I'm really anxious. Like, it's more of a distraction... but I also consider mine as being a stim toy.

an illegible mess.

i psyducking hate fidget spinners and cubes if i'm going to be bluntly honest. its just another thing non mentally ill individuals have taken for themselves and made into a fad so now people who really need those things cant have them because theyre getting banned in schools. i know its a fad like silly bands and heelies and that it'll blow over soon but to me this is just one of the biggest annoyances in terms of fads ive ever witnessed. as someone whos autistic who often benefits from these kinds of things it really pisses me off that people are using these aids as playthings or collector items or whatever the psyduck. thats not their purpose. it just rubs me the wrong way. i cant wait for this stupid trend to end.
