i bought a box of fidget toys to cure my ADHD

hey you know me i know me i am a boy with adhd i grew up with it i deal with it now and i'll deal with it for the rest of my life what's this intro i don't know uh when i was in seventh grade i finally sort of got diagnosed with adhd i don't know why i said sort of i got diagnosed with adhd slash add i have not been on add medication for a really long time and it's something that i'm thinking about going back on just because i have learned to cope with it a little bit better over the years but i still have really really bad 80d in adhd and it's extremely hard to focus there's the sort of joke that i can't read which obviously i can read um but i figured out uh over this last like a year maybe two years that i'm also dyslexic uh which definitely didn't help in school but the whole thing of like oh i i haven't read a book since junior year of high school and a lot of people make jokes about it which is totally fine but i legitimately cannot sit down and read a book something that is extremely frustrating uh anything over about a paragraph i i just have such a hard time uh processing the information remembering the information um just having the attention span to read something and not get distracted anyway all of that to say i went on amazon and i got a pack of 30. oh baby 30 plus add toys that's the thumbnail what i just did there so i thought that i'd go through and look at these different things and sort of rate it from 1 to 10 on how good of an 80d toy there is let's start off with something familiar something that you guys know ooh that crinkle that crackle hey rubik's cube this is actually nope nevermind it's shitty rubik's cubes or something that i have a bunch of um this one kind of sucks let me grab my good one oh yeah let me show you the difference between a good cube and a bad cube this is a good cube this is what a good cube sounds like and the way that it moves too nice this is a bad cube you can sort of hear the spring and while it may not seem a lot different it is it feels drastically different rubik's cubes are something that i really love i learned to do a rubik's cube when i was probably 12 or 13 i think and it was something that actually really helped me a lot um in school and i started bringing rubik's cubes to school and during times when the teacher would be speaking and i didn't have to be writing or anything like that i would do a rubik's cube it was not something that i was really aware of it was just something that i really liked doing but it's something that helped me focus a lot because i had something to do with my hands and so the all of my teachers which a part of me gets because it's it is you know marketed as a toy or whatever but they were like ethan you can't be doing that in class it also makes a little bit of noise so it could be distracting to some of the other kids but none of the teachers really understood that by me doing the rubik's cube i was actually able to listen way better because i had something to put my energy into therefore my mind was a little bit more open i don't know even right now like i'm i don't know how noticeable it is but even right now as i'm doing this i feel like it's easier for me to actually speak and like say coherent sentences and stuff like that rubik's cubes are something that have really helped me a lot i really enjoy doing them like it's just a fun thing to do and it was a fun thing to learn and it also sort of becomes after a while almost like a muscle memory thing i can't do it as well as i used to be able to do it but it's all just algorithms and stuff like that so doing certain moves at a certain time when the pieces are in a certain spot so it's not something that you need to like really think about which is why it was good for me when i needed to focus on something else rubik's cube i'll give it a give it an 8 out of 10. 8 out of 10. i love these babies they're wonderful but it also is it's not something that you sort of have to pay attention to it a little bit like you can't be like looking at something else and doing a rubik's cube so you know this i don't know what this is i'm really not sure what this is weird ball thing there's a hole there i don't know if that's supposed to be there or not these little balls they turn a little bit i don't really like this it feels weird i think you just push it in and replace the hole with a ball i don't really like it because it's not smooth it kind of it takes a lot of pressure and force it feels very janky i understand why people could like this i guess but i don't i don't really like it i'm gonna give this a three out of ten i don't like it here's a cl oh this is something different than i thought it was going to be i thought that this was going to be one of the is it a chinese finger trap where you put your fingers in and you trap it but there's a little i don't know how well you can see it but there's a little marble in there and so you just push push the marble around that's kind of cool kind of fun it's not i mean it kind of feels nice this is turning into way more of a serious video than i than i thought it was going to be i thought this was going to be very jokey and fun i mean it is a little bit but it's actually me raiding adhd like fidget toys i don't know and it's small so you can fit it in your pocket pretty easy i don't think i would play with this though it doesn't doesn't do much for me i'll give this a 4 out of 10 because it's better i'll give it a 5. it's better than the ball thing all right next is this uh i don't know what this is and it makes me uncomfortable it's just a stretchy thing it has a little bit of glitter on it which i hate because it gets everywhere and it sticks to everything and it sucks and it's also really bad for the environment ah that's kind of fun though i just wish it didn't have glitter on it there's two of them there's a green one and a pink one um it's okay it's kind of fun it's also very it's very powdery which i don't like i don't really like the feel of it i wouldn't imagine this to be like a fidget toy like what do you do with this i don't know to me like a nice fidgety toy this isn't feely enough for me like there's it's not i don't know i don't know it's too much it's too much three out of ten my guy my dude what is this he's a tiny person you stretch him this isn't a fidget toy what is this [ __ ] i don't like it it's just a little man one out of ten that one's the worst of them all i think i found a worse thing let's make that a two out of ten because this seems way worse i don't even want to open this what is this it's like a weird bug i don't even want to open it it's got like gunk inside one out of ten whoa dude they gave me the sand you know the like moonsand i don't really want to take it out though because i'm afraid that it's gonna get everywhere i'm too worried about it hold on i'll deal with that in a second okay this has potential if i can figure out what it is this is like a weird little [Music] thing push some of the pieces out what do you do what do you do with this it had potential and now all the potential is gone what is it so you have it here right you can push out the orange part but then you can't push anything else out unless that's all it is it's just pushing out the orange thing i could understand that because you're taking the thing out and putting it back in and taking it out and it's that repetitive thing but it's not easy enough to push in and out three out of ten once again all right here's something that i might be able to get behind oh baby oh [ __ ] you ready for this watch oh my god oh that's sick i love this thing it's cool too because it's got this little nub which i like it when it's when it's on the palm of my hand because then i have something solid oh my god this is so good oh and it has the little things and it just like forms around your hands so nice this is great this is so good eight out of ten also i'm treating ten like a unicorn in the sense that like there's probably not gonna be a ten eight or above is like really [ __ ] good i'm gonna move my rubik's cube to a nine and i'm gonna put this at an eight and a half actually i'm gonna put this at a nine as well because the rubik's just for different reasons this is so good this is so great oh my god i love it all right let's just get all of these shitty ones out of the way all of these the weird bug things they're just like squishy weird things that have like slime on them and i really don't like them at all so one out of ten for those okay so we have a ball version of this so it's a sphere you can take out the blue piece and i think that's it what is the point none of these other pieces move am i just doing it wrong what's the point of it i don't understand or do you have to do it whoa you have to do it in a certain way you do it's a puzzle it's a puzzle okay i've got i've got all these pieces right and now we have to put them back together i don't know if i'll like this it's a puzzle gamers it's a puzzle um very interesting it's interesting i didn't figure out the puzzle four out of ten i could see the appeal but i don't want to do a puzzle that's not the fidgety cube it's not a fidgety it's not fidgety it's a puzzle but this but this is fidgety a classic fidget spinner oh that's nice too it's nice because it's got these little ball bearings on the outside fidget spinners have gone out of out of style of course but it does suck because they became such a fad you know but they did really help people with adhd and like they were they definitely were helpful for me back when i when i used them a little bit it sucks that a lot of schools like ban them just because they were seen as like little toys and stuff but it it does help to just this is a classic just like fidget thing because all you're doing is this and it it does really help fidget spinner's pretty good give it an 8 out of 10. uh this one's good too it's got good bearings on it we got another fidget spinner in here two of them same thing different colors wow i like that sound see a lot of these again are not really fidget things i'm not really sure what this is kind of like it though the way that it sounds is really nice yeah it's almost like cracking knuckles but again not really fidgety not really fidgety i'm a little disappointed with this box guys because most of this stuff is not very fidgety giving this a five out of ten it's okay it makes a nice sound let's go with a six let's do six all right we got this box here i'm thinking that just because of the packaging maybe it's a kaleidoscope which again would not really make sense it's a kaleidoscope no it's not it's one of these this isn't a fidget toy it just looks cool damn look at that in that nice wow wow i remember these i think i had one as a kid that had like a a little like whale in it or something oh and then at the bottom they all drip down yeah kind of cool four out of ten it's not a fidget thing we are now coming to some of the last things which are these i am not really sure what these are it's like a keychain thing that just goes in and out and in and out can you play with it with one hand yeah ooh that's kind of fun too oh yeah just having it on your finger and just like kind of shaking it a little bit that's nice gonna give this a 7 out of ten eight out of ten seven out of ten seven and a half we'll do seven and a half because it's easy to use with one hand it's pretty good actually there's one more thing in here that uh well not in here i got this in addition because i wanted it and it wasn't included in the box it's a butterfly train or knife it's not an actual butterfly knife it's a trainer this is dull but i used to use these babies all the time because you just flip it around all the time and it's really fun it's very much a fidgety thing very much a fidgety i would kill myself if it was a real knife which is why it's not a real knife i used to be able to do cool tricks and now not really to be able to do like a cool like i can still kind of do it there we go wow fun time there's somebody here in the comments that actually knows butterfly knives and is screaming at me i know this to be true i do have a couple more things and by a couple more things i think i have one more thing and it is very good i have two more things three more things two more things really because this is just a fidget spinner that i have that i found in my drawer and i like it a lot i also like it because it's pink okay i have this which is just a spiky ball a little spiky ball but it feels cool in your hands oh it feels so nice i think my mom gave this to me in my stocking at christmas last year this is pretty good 7 out of 10 just because you kind of need two hands for it to be super good you know but lastly i have this which is a little fidget cube which i think one of you guys gave me at a convention actually it's got a bunch of different things on it and i'm sure a lot of you guys know about these so there's this little thing right here these go around there's a switch there's like a joystick kind of thing there's uh these buttons that have different like sensitivities almost there's this little thing which you just like twist around it's it's fun it's nice because it has a bunch of different stuff on it i imagine it would probably get annoying for the people around you but it's nice to just use eight out of ten nine out of ten nine out of ten nine out of ten anyway that's the box a little disappointed to be honest i was really hoping for more stuff not more stuff better stuff i was hoping that like i don't know i feel like all the stuff in here just kind of sucked the only thing that i will actually use is gonna be this because it's freaking dope but everything else kind of sucked which is a bummer big big bummer anyway um this was my review of the 32 box item the thing of fidgety things for people with brains that go whoa everything's happening all the time kinda helpful i like it a lot gonna like it anywho thank you guys so much for watching let me know what your thoughts are let me know if any of you have add or adhd and if you have a little fidget toy things things that help you little coping mechanisms whatever what have you anyway thank you so much for watching see you later maybe i'll be able to read someday [Music] you
