Diseased The Fidget Spinner Community - "It's Not A Trend, It's A Way Of Life."

As an autist, this is too much autism for me to handle at once. I beg that this trend doesn't last much longer and these idiots realize that they spent their money over nothing. You could buy a small run of groceries or pay a bill on that much money, it's honestly beyond laughable and just cringeworthy.
 
I think I'm officially old now, because I swear these things just came out of nowhere. I first heard of them about ten days ago, and they're all over the place. Including the grocery store, for some reason. Also, there's now people on my FB feed bitching about these appropriating autism culture, which just baffles me.

Jeez, back in the ancient days of yore we'd just fuck around with mechanical pencils or make swords out of interlocking marker caps. Get off my lawn!
 
From what I've seen in the wild, fidget spinners are a distraction rather than a tool that helps you focus. I saw a kid at a coffee shop who took out what seemed to be homework, and he spent the whole time there failing to balance the spinner on his nose.

I'm amazed there are people who will defend them as "super serious tools for focus".

This reminds me of the snap bracelet craze of the late 80s early 90s. Boy did we piss off every teacher back then.
