“Fidget toys make you less focused :)” that because you’re not adhd/autistic you fucking clod
list of things i have heard from people without adhd/autism who used my fidget toy:
– it doesn’t do anything
– its a waste of plastic
– how do you pay attention in class
– it makes so much noise (it doesn’t make any noise, they just saw i had it in my hand)
– at least my fidget spinner actually does stuff (my toy does 6 different things. also they got their fidget spinner taken the same day)
– its gay (creative)
things my friends with adhd/autism have said after using my fidget toy:
– oh my god
– its so…. Good
– i could actually pay attention to shit in class
– where can i buy this???
– wait there’s More stuff like this
– i love you. (not related to the toy per say but that felt nice)
This right here is an important post
As a teacher, the whole “fidget spinners being marketed as toys” is the most terrifying trend my students have introduced me to. I gave a fidget cube to one of my 6th grade students who’s been struggling all year with his adhd, who is so smart but is failing math because he can’t focus in it. He was hesitant at first, about a teacher giving him something “to help” rather than punishing him, but agreed with me that it couldn’t hurt to try.
He hasn’t put it down.
Everyday since he got it, I’ve seen him with it. He holds it in his pocket, and hasn’t climbed on a table or cussed at a teacher since.
BUT
There are at least 20 other kids in our school who bring fidget spinners and play with them out on the table during lessons. They don’t pay attention in class, and they disrupt other students’ learning. These are not students with adhd or anxiety, these are students who are just playing because they’re kids and that’s what kids do.
What scares me is I know other teachers have been confiscating them. They’re going to be banned, if it continues to be a problem. And my 6th grader, who’s had noticeable improvements since he started playing with his cube, is going to get in trouble for using something that helps him learn.
This is the GoFund Me that Lazy Town Memes gave us. We gotta donate to help Stefan. Pretty obvious but still, Stefan needs our help. He will reign number one in his second battle against cancer, but in order for him to win, he needs our help!
I feel bad for her but can we focus on the dead and injured? Like come on.
^^^^
we including Jimmy (OP) focused on the casualties. if you have checked his blog, he actually posted alot about the incident and even put emphasis on the fans. this is only one post about Ariana so this is an after thought actually
also, just because we are concerned about Ariana too doesnt necessarily mean we aren’t focusing on the casualties.. like come on..
Ariana is a human being who has been affected by this tragedy. She’s undoubtedly gonna blame herself for something she couldn’t have controlled so let’s not act like she doesn’t deserve a little of our focus too.
My heart is going out to all these fans and their families and the fans who had probably one of the best nights of their lives ruined by someone’s cruelty
if any of you are bored you could try taking this color oracle assessment. it’s interesting
this shit dragged my ass within the first two lines of text, I’m done!
me as well
How did it know I have been maticulously watching my finances? How did it know that I hate my roommate and am in a stressful situation because she is the dirtiest person I’ve ever met? How did it know that I’m a year into a long distance relationship/ have constant feelings of loneliness??
