Ethan touched on a good point in this when he said as a 25 year old man he doesn't want to walk around with something that looks intended for a child. There should be way more fidget toys designed for adults with ADHD, autism ect... So we don't feel as awkward about having our fidgets.
i entirely agree!!! however we also need to address the stigma around things that look like they're "for children" and let people have fun with stuff if it's fun for them!
@deku_ agreed its a common issue when autistic people are discussed as well (neurotypicals like to talk for and about autistic people but they don't like to talk to them as much because that means recognizing them as an equal, complete person)
@@elix1133 exactly!!! and not even just neurodivergent people being allowed to have "childish" interests, anyone should be allowed to just enjoy what they like and others can just move on with life if they don't like it instead if wasting time beating others down to feel better
@@deinodinosuchus 100%, soft toys are a really good and grounding/calming stim for me especially when I'm having a bad anxiety time and people get super judgemental when they see a 25yo with a plush toy.

Hearing Ethan get excited at the very end and listening to his voice change as he gets into the compression sack really hits me because I DO THE EXACT SAME THING
Ethan getting super excited by the compression sleeve thing and then excitedly showing off everything to Mika was the cutest thing ever - the highlight of my day

I think that last one is called a sensory sock. I see a lot of people with autism who really like them. I wanna try learning how to use one of those pencils specifically for finger spinning. Anything to get me to stop biting my nails lol.
Yeah it’s a sock! Sometimes called compression sock, really depends on the person. I’ve seen many autistic kids roll around on the floor inside these, it does look like a fun time tbh
I love videos like these because I'm autistic and I know virtually nothing about fidget and sensory items- the sensory sock looks like it would be very nice for me :)
I have cptsd and also anxiety and I low key wanted one, but I’m worried it’s not meant to be used by people without adhd or autism-like I’d be stealing or somethin
The best “fidget” toy i have found has been silly putty. Its small, makes no noise, and you can do many sensory actions with it. Squeezing, stretching, rolling, etc. Was what got me through school, it helped me focus in class but also gave me something to do with my hands when i got anxious. 10/10 would recommend
Doesnt it get too dirty? My dog sheds a lot and her fur gets everywhere so I imagine from touching it and from her fur it would be kinda gross in no time
@@Ariplaygames Anytime it wasn’t in my hand or on my desk at school, I would put it back in the container it comes in. Mine stayed mostly clean, but if it got dirty for some reason, they are very cheap and easy to replace.
@GamerAllan GACHATUBER no? He talked about in the video that he had just gotten a new assistant and that they were the one who bought all the 'toys' depicted.
lmfao "whatever you do, dont buy something weird cuz this is going on in a video" "...so you meant poop, right? like straight up poop? you meant poop. gotcha, chieef"
Even is Mika doesnt like all of them, she understands how they fit with Ethan and acknowledges that they're "more of a him thing" which is so sweet and supportive
When I was in eighth grade my counselor told me to "just focus better". I was immediately cured and my attention span was instantly raised to godlike levels. You should try that next video, might work for you. Get a counselor from a public middle school. It'll work I promise.
omg that reminds me of when a teacher told me i cant be angry. i was immediately cured of my anger issues. these days, im like a leaf. nothing can affect me. im never like thag
i feel like ethan could work together with some kind of company to produce his own adhd toy that would meet all his needs. like everything he likes regarding size and functionality and noise and feel and stuff
Watching ethan, mark and sean makes me feel like im not weird, and i just get so happy when i see any of their content because it makes me be kind to myself.
as an autistic adult with ADHD that went undiagnosed for 30 years, finding stim toys that will not only keep people from judging me, but also ones that hit my stim requirements while not bothering other people (i love clicks and clomps, the green hand thing you got would be PERFECT for me) its really hard to come by but those tangles are things i always see as super helpful and not totally obvious cuz they just meld to your hand. but in the end, i hate the idea that we have to worry about using "childish" things and getting judgment (or ableism, being talked to and about like a child) just to get our stimming and focus needs met cringe culture sucks...but ALSO a lot of these toys are very large and i dislike having to carry them all the time my best friend got me this little stim toy thats like...two metal hoops that are linked, and they have little metal and rubber rolly things, and you can kinda spin or move the hoops in your hand and loop them...they kinda look like a venn diagram ITS HARD TO EXPLAIN but they are simple, small and dont look like a "kid toy", and you can just kinda poke a finger through the middle where the two hoops meet and wear it like a ring (thats also stimmy) its really neat! im also a big fan of silicon poppy thingies, but the ones i like are way too big OR noisy lol theres an amogus pop toy in the shape of a space bean and i want it SO BAD, despite the fact that "only kids" can like among us (among us is a weird hyperfixation of mine, in that i cant play it but i watch people play it and i just love the aesthetic in general)
I also have the metal hoops! They are really fun and quiet. I also have a ring that opens into an astronomical model, copy of an original from 16th century. Looks fancy and dark academia and can be worn, although not very comfortably
@@spacetrashfallingdown that sounds AMAZING. and this comment was strangely timed, cuz im talking to a friend about dark academia and its one of my favorite genres/aesthetics. id love to find one- where did you get it?
Oh! You're talking about the bike chain! That's one of my favorite stim toys too 😄 it is very hard feeling as though you have to mask to keep the norm constantly. For instance, I've always wanted to have a pacifier to chew on... But I feel like I'd look like a freak, walking around at 18 with one. It's upsetting and it's highly unfair to all of us who are neurodivergent
funnily enough, i'd recommend a few tumbled stones of magnetic hematite as a stim toy. its literally just shiny grey rocks with a real nice weight to them. they make some fun clicking noises, and the vibration they make when they snap together is [chefs kiss]
For the slug: from personal experience I can say that the best/worst way to handle that little dude is to grab it by one end, shake it really hard, and possibly throw it across the room. Bonus points if you grit your teeth so hard that you fear breaking your jaw and shake your fists in the air once it's been launched. It's a strangely energizing stim. I can't explain *why* that's the best/worst way to do it, I can only encourage anyone with a slug buddy to test my theory.
Nothing is more ADHD than sharing everything with your friends and loved ones and showing them everything and pointing out all the stuff you just experienced as a love language. Like if I see something cute, I have to show you. If I touch a soft pillow in the store, I will carry it with me until i find you so you can feel it too. ADHD love language.
This might sound kinda dumb but I’ve found that empty mechanical pencils work well for wanting to click something without much noise. (Plus you can spin them in your hand if you want)
Honestly I quit caring, because I will have an energy explosion if I don't do something like clicking a pen. I had a class mate one time look at me and actually said "Really?" And I looked back and replied, "Well unless you want the room to explode, yes." She quit talking to me and ended up moving, no one else said anything to me. And I just went about my life clicking my pen.
My 7 year old son was recently diagnosed with ADHD and it has been a tough couple of years. I love that you and other big TH-camrs talk so openly about ADHD and how you cope and deal with it. Thank you.
I wish that there were more adultish fidget tools, tools being the main word. I think that neurotypical people really do see it as we need a toy to keep ourselves entertained at all times which is why so many of them look like something you'd give a baby or small child. But that's not how we use them. It's like we have two layers of concentration, active and passive. If we are trying to actively pay attention to something it's really difficult because our passive attention is constantly looking for input which causes us to get distracted by sounds or random thoughts etc etc. Fidget tools give our passive attention something repetitive to focus on that doesn't take a lot of concentration so we're actually able to focus on the thing that we want to be focused on without having our attention pulled away by something else.
OH MY GOD(S)!! I've used the Active and Passive attention span things to explain my brain to people all the time but I've never heard anyone else say something like that!!!
the thing is that they aren’t going to give us that (less childlike stim tools) because they expect that we can just pretend to be and act like them by the time we are adults. we have to make it happen ourselves
I think this kind of goes into the thing with a lot of disability tools. They want to make as much money as possible so they don't advertise directly to disabled people. They advertise to anyone. So infomercial items like electric can openers, comfort wipe, shoedini etc. etc. Fidget tools are advertised to a wider audience too because they can also be toys for kids. This can make the products cheaper too.
wowowow this is an INCREDIBLE way of putting it! i'm definitely going to start using "active/passive concentration" when I talk about my adhd with non-adhd people. that's a game changer. thank you!!
@@transjesus3454 this is why it's harder to get diagnosed with ASD as a female, and as an adult. It's expected you've "learned how to behave by now" so you "aren't weird", thus many don't get diagnosed and suffer because of it. Sucks
The "game console" looking one is one I have actually and I liked it at first but it's getting boring and all of the things I like about it make to much notice for in class. Though it feels cheap it lasts longer then expected it also survived being washed and dried
I'm losing faith in humanity. It's amazingly clear and obvious that it's simulating a video game controller. Describing it as "a game console looking thing" is crazy.
honestly if it was just quieter i would like it a lot, when i’m at home it’s great, but in public i’m just frightened it’s too loud so i only use the spin wheel haha
@@GraemeGunn it got the point across didn't it? it doesn't matter if they called it something "crazy" lol u still knew what they were talking about and that's what matters
As an autistic person who knows how much of a need stimming is to neurodivergent brains especially, it brings me so much joy to see neurodivergent joy from v specific things / stims. I love ya eef, ya brain is a beautiful thing
@@callmek5 this might be me, but i notice she is saying "no" to things he likes. English is not my native language, so this doesn't perfectly describe what i mean. She isn't trying to be mean or being negative towards him on purpose, but for example the slug: she said enthusiastically she heard about it and wants it, and he being nice wantd to give it to her and it's nah. Or he wants to show al the thing he got, some of them he likes very much and she doesn't likes them (not that she needs to like everything, of even something, but she doesn't seem to like it for him neither. If that makes sense), doesn't want to try them/feel them/experience them. Not even for him/to make him happy. And i had this feeling too back when they were a thing before this time... But im unsure if that's just me or not.... ^.^' I don't mean this nasty. It is his life and if it makes him (them) happy than they should jeep being in a relationship ship.and he doesn't seem unhappy with her. And she really isn't mean spirited or nasty towards him. As long as they are happy than that's a good thing. I just thought I noticed this in some clips.
@@vespalemons2083 I was really searching in the comment section if there was someone else seeing this too. But couldn't find anyone at that time. So glad you replied, I really was doubting myself... ^^'
I work with a kid with ADHD and he's used the compression sock things before, he really loves it and he has a blast just sliding around and seeing how much he can make it stretch - it tires him out too so that makes my job even easier!
Having ADHD since I was a child had been nothing but awesome. Sure some days are really frustrating but I learned how to control it kind of. No soda past a certain time no energy drinks and stuff like that. I don't even drink tea. I am supposed to take medicine for mine but honestly I love writing and my brain always thinks of something new and exciting. I can turn an ordinary leaf into an awesome character in under two minutes with a back story and everything.
@@karlaschall8615 That's the same with me and my autism + ADD hehe. I draw and like fashion but my fashion doesn't exactly make sense HAHA kind of like Jojo's Bizzare Adventure x2.
Hey Ethan, I went to your tour in Columbus OH today, and I just wanted to say thank you so much for inviting me on stage with you. It was such a blast to meet you in person and your show was one of the best things I've ever seen in my life. I'm so proud that you've come this far, thank you so much for all that you do. We love you man!
A really good fidget toy that has really worked for me is a trainer butterfly knife. It has no sharp blade, so you can't cut yourself, but you can learn how to do simple, repetitive tricks on it with one hand that are satisfying to repeat when sitting, standing, and even walking. You can keep it in your pocket as well. It can be a bit noisy though. (At least it doesn't make you look like you're walking around with a "toddlers toy", lol.) I compare it to a yoyo. There's the basic "open" and "close" trick that's satisfying to do, but you can also learn super complicated tricks that can be just as fun to perform. Personally, just the back and forth pattern of opening and closing is super satisfying to me. You can actually DO something specifically with it instead of just having a little toy with no real purpose. It can take a bit to learn and you might bruise your knuckles at first, but not whenever you get the hang of it. It's a good idea to hold the knife over a bed or cushion while you're practicing so it doesn't break if you accidentally drop it. It isn't technically a fidget toy, but it's works best for when I feel like I need to do something with my hands.
In his first adhd fidget toy review, Ethan explained that a butterfly knife trainer was actually his favorite fidget toy that he has. I’ve been dying to get one too!
@@courtneygriffith4664 Oh, I didn't realize that! And yeah, I would definitely recommend it! If you can, though, try to tape a cotton ball to the second knuckle on your index finger when learning the tricks at first. I bruised it up pretty badly since the bite handle kept slamming down onto my finger.
When I was in the first grade I was diagnosed with ADHD, some people say with time it gets better but for me as the years go by it's getting worse and worse, I love seeing creators and people that I look up to that also have ADHD and see that it's not holding them back and they can still accomplish things, love you Ethan :)
If it's just getting worse, consider comordbitity. MOST people who have one condition also have another... and another... Each condition makes the possibility of having more conditions more likely. I had what I thought was "super adhd" but it turns out I have adhd, bi polar, borderline, anxiety & depression, dissociative identity disorder, and possibly cptsd and ocd. Not only do a lot of these disorders have symptoms that are similar to adhd counterparts (like hyperfocus vs manic phases, and RSD vs BPD, and adhd memory problems vs amnesia in DID) but also, anything that makes you stressed makes all your conditions worse. Consider that you might want to look at "conditions commonly confused with adhd", not because you don't have adhd, but because you might have one that overlaps and is hiding behind your adhd. Either way, good luck!
I'm glad you talked about the noises they make!! A big part of my fidgets are the noises! I find fidget cubes helpful while at work but if they don't make the clicky I don't want it
As someone with ADHD, I especially love these videos, and Ethan's videos in general, the energy n stuff. Edit: One thing I've noticed about people with ADHD, I do this too, we always encourage others to try something we really like. I dunno why.
If you enjoyed the sack, you should honestly try weighted blankets! I have Anxiety and ADHD and having one has honestly improved my sleep so much. I have a 23lb one and it's hard to sleep without it now. Such comfort! Much hugs.
Ooh! Have any recs on brands? I'm looking for one, since I can no longer tolerate sleeping with quilts in my tropical country, but I really need the weight on me or else I get night terrors.
There's something strangely satisfying about watching Ethan review fidget toys. Just Ethan. I've never seen someone review fidget toys and been strangely satisfied by it like I get watching Ethan do it.
I just want to thank you for helping me on my ADHD journey. In the beginning of 2020, a video of yours first got me thinking that I might have it and next Monday, after a 2 year long struggle, I will finally get tested and hopefully be able to get medication soon!
i'm happy 4 you !! but i hope you know tht getting on medication is complicated . i had to try close to a dozen medications until i finally found one that worked . be patient with yourself please
Honestly, my favorite ADHD fidget toy is a chainmaille cube made by a good friend of mine. It has great weight, the rings move around and you can play with them, it makes a satisfying ching-ching sound when you throw it between your hands... 10/10 would recommend
there's two that i really like, one is a miniature gear stick and another is literally a small light switch that you can click back & forth. the sensation of, like you said, the clicking of a lighter is the one i look for most
I've got the controller looking one and it's more durable than you'd expect from the kind of plastic, surprisingly. And yes the lighter type mechanism is the most satisfying but also infuriating to anyone else.
As someone with Autism and ADHD, I too wish there were more options for fidgets for us. Ones that not only help our needs but also don’t attract the attention of other people so they don’t get distracted or annoyed, (and so we don’t get yelled at). And I also agree with Ethan, having a big fidget sucks. It’s nice to have a small one that is easy to carry around. I definitely think he should team up with a company who makes these things to make fidgets that not only up to his standards, but to other people with ADHD, Autism, etc. That would be so cool.
@Dubium. I also have asd like yourself and adhd is definitely not a dumbed down version of asd. They are two completely different things with some similarities. Adhd is soo much more than what you think it is.
this video feels like a dog reviewing the toys his owner bought for him, especially with the ratings being written in third person and the fact that his assistant all bought these for him :)
I have the controller looking thing and it is great! deffo a 9/10 for me bc there are so many options! I will now also be purchasing the slug bc it is friendshaped. I also audibly gasped when he brought out the tangle bc I love that shit so much! It's excellent for silent fidgeting during meetings at work! Oddly enough, the green snappy thing gave me such icky sensory vibes despite looking like the kind of thing I'd liek - not a fan of suction cuppy noises!
As a person from maine with adhd who has always felt like their energy annoys the hell out of people Ethan is such an inspiration and he honestly gives me more hope for my life than anything or anyone else
I'm thirty years old and recently found out that I have ADHD and that I'm autistic. And let me tell you, friend, this video (and the other ones like it) is a GIFT. Thank you for sharing, Ethan!
I’m not sure if this would work for many people, but I find kneaded erasers are really nice to fiddle with. It’s like putty, but not nearly as messy or sticky, doesn’t smell bad, and can be found at most craft stores. (I’m a person who absolutely hates the texture of slime, but this stuff is fun).
I can’t get enough of blonde Eef Also, in the wide words of Logan Sanders; “WHO GAVE HIM A KNIFE?!” Also also, magnet beads really helped with my ADD so those are good
I wanna see Ethan try crunchy slimes. I know it's not ideal to use with one hand but they are pretty nice. I use them to listen to class lectures on zoom.
I'm personally addicted to buckyballs. You should give those a go; they're fun to press on, build with, and are discreet to put in your pocket and fidget with.
god i missed these videos. the slug makes AMAZING sounds and i desire to be with him. also the compression thing seems like it might actually be really nice
It shouldn't matter if other people are around, they should respect your self medicating ways, especially if it's perfectly healthy. My older sister's partner once threatened to break my fingers because I was therapeutically tapping my nails to sooth my anxiety.
honestly the best "fidget toys" I've found for myself are,,, soft erasers and kneadable erasers, tiny and quiet i love fidgets with clicking sounds and all but sadly thats not socially acceptable when around people so eraser it is
This content is INCREDIBLY relevant, informative, and useful to me. I will watch every single one of these reviews put out. Also, I HIGHLY recommend a Rubik's Cube keychain. Useful as a fidget, portable, and not out of place for anyone with keys at any age.
So just incase anyone is wondering the last one is from a company called sanho and the thing is called a sensory body sock. I knew I was curious and I thought maybe other people wanted to know so yeah. Just sos you know
The best fidget toy I've ever had is a plain ol' thing of Silly Putty. It's squishy, conforms to your hand, you can stretch it, mold it, rip it into bits and mush em back together, make little bubbles with it and pop em... it's so nice. And it's like a buck and change!
10:50 Those are my son's favorite. They're called Simpl Dimpls. There are bigger ones too, but I like the small ones because you can clip them on a belt loop or on your backpack.
when you pulled out the tangle I was literally fidgeting with mine! except the one I was holding was smooth, but I had a textured one in a box of stim toys, and I grabbed that one, forgot how nice it was. I use the smooth one in one hand by coiling it over and over. Hard to explain, but they come coiled up except for the part that connects the circle, which sticks out off the side. I put my index finger in that loop, push the coil apart, and then start redo-ing the coil around my index finger, so the whole thing shifts over a couple links. And just repeat that forever lol.
i've actually been struggling to find adhd toys for myself so this video really helped introduce me to a bunch of different ones that i never rly considered! and your feedback abt the textures, practicality, etc. is greatly appreciated
I recently had a discussion with my doctor about how I might be dyslexic because I have a hard time reading and have memory issues. He said that to him that combined with my other symptoms that it may be something like ADHD or ADD. Sometimes I get overwhelmed and have to fidget or stim so these videos are very helpful so I can see all the different types of toys are out there! I haven’t been formerly diagnosed yet, but my appointment to discuss my assessment is soon! Thanks for being a cool dude eef.
I love the slug!! I have a 5inch one that's small enough to hold with one hand and its made with light filament. It feels so good to fidget with using just one hand
Weighted blankets/shrugs/vests and those fidget balls that have all the buttons and knobs and joysticks are my favorites!! The noodle thing also brings back memories of being in second grade and playing with them at my desk while the teacher talked. My parents are special ed teachers and it took until at least high school for me to notice that most people don't need fidgets to help them focus. Also, the green suction thing sounds and looks amazing!! I would use it so much even if it annoyed people around me. Luckily I work in a supported living facility and fidgets and sensory tools are the norm.
5:10 i’ve had this one for about a year and a half, and surprisingly nothing has worn down, but the fact two of the buttons aren’t clicky bothers me like crazy, if the joystick felt more like an actual joystick, i think i would only use that, but i mostly use the lil spiny wheel on it, because everything else is so loud that i don’t want to use it in public lul
I actually have the one from 6:05! I use it all the time and surprisingly it did not wear down even after few months of use. Really helps me to concentrate and is indeed great help for calming down my hyperactive ass. If anyone ever had a habit of clicking pen repeatedly, then this toy is just perfect for you in my opinion. Yes, all buttons have different amount of pression that you can click on them with, and it is just like perfect personally to me, because there are not only clicky ones, but also very soft and silent that do not annoy others as much. It is also just great because of its size and amount of things you can do with it, different textures and mechanisms you can feel and play around with. It can really help you with not losing focus through the day, atleast it does for me. My personal favorite!
my favorite fidget thing is something called a spinflux. Its REALLY expensive because of how its made, but its so nice. A powerful spherical magnet in the center surrounded by a metal ring makes this crazy magnetic resistance and its the most satisfying thing I have, yet entirely silent. Also built like a tank, cause its literally metal (aluminium plated in nickel, solid neodymium magnet in center), but as very expensive Edit: also it doesn't look like a toddlers toy cuz its a massive metal ring
10:35 eef: maybe i can make a small bike out of this who would be buying the small bike? "MICE" "MICE DONT HAVE JOBS" "what about ratatouille he has a job" "HES A RAT"

When I was in eighth grade my counselor told me to "just focus better". I was immediately cured and my attention span was instantly raised to godlike levels. You should try that next video, might work for you. Get a counselor from a public middle school. It'll work I promise.
I'm in middle school i should just do that 😱
omg that reminds me of when a teacher told me i cant be angry. i was immediately cured of my anger issues. these days, im like a leaf. nothing can affect me. im never like thag
i feel like ethan could work together with some kind of company to produce his own adhd toy that would meet all his needs. like everything he likes regarding size and functionality and noise and feel and stuff
omg you're so right
i would love that
Him and Jacksepticeye would be perfect to make a/some fidget toy(s)
I need that, I would get like a billion 😂
Pleaseee
Watching ethan, mark and sean makes me feel like im not weird, and i just get so happy when i see any of their content because it makes me be kind to myself.
as an autistic adult with ADHD that went undiagnosed for 30 years, finding stim toys that will not only keep people from judging me, but also ones that hit my stim requirements while not bothering other people (i love clicks and clomps, the green hand thing you got would be PERFECT for me) its really hard to come by
but those tangles are things i always see as super helpful and not totally obvious cuz they just meld to your hand. but in the end, i hate the idea that we have to worry about using "childish" things and getting judgment (or ableism, being talked to and about like a child) just to get our stimming and focus needs met
cringe culture sucks...but ALSO a lot of these toys are very large and i dislike having to carry them all the time
my best friend got me this little stim toy thats like...two metal hoops that are linked, and they have little metal and rubber rolly things, and you can kinda spin or move the hoops in your hand and loop them...they kinda look like a venn diagram
ITS HARD TO EXPLAIN but they are simple, small and dont look like a "kid toy", and you can just kinda poke a finger through the middle where the two hoops meet and wear it like a ring (thats also stimmy)
its really neat! im also a big fan of silicon poppy thingies, but the ones i like are way too big OR noisy lol
theres an amogus pop toy in the shape of a space bean and i want it SO BAD, despite the fact that "only kids" can like among us
(among us is a weird hyperfixation of mine, in that i cant play it but i watch people play it and i just love the aesthetic in general)
I also have the metal hoops! They are really fun and quiet. I also have a ring that opens into an astronomical model, copy of an original from 16th century. Looks fancy and dark academia and can be worn, although not very comfortably
@@spacetrashfallingdown that sounds AMAZING. and this comment was strangely timed, cuz im talking to a friend about dark academia and its one of my favorite genres/aesthetics. id love to find one- where did you get it?
I ALSO HAVE THE METAL HOOPS AND I LOVED THEM SO MUCH BUT I BROKE THE RUBBER THINGS
The metal hoop thing is called a "flippy chain"
Oh! You're talking about the bike chain! That's one of my favorite stim toys too 😄 it is very hard feeling as though you have to mask to keep the norm constantly. For instance, I've always wanted to have a pacifier to chew on... But I feel like I'd look like a freak, walking around at 18 with one. It's upsetting and it's highly unfair to all of us who are neurodivergent
funnily enough, i'd recommend a few tumbled stones of magnetic hematite as a stim toy. its literally just shiny grey rocks with a real nice weight to them. they make some fun clicking noises, and the vibration they make when they snap together is [chefs kiss]
For the slug: from personal experience I can say that the best/worst way to handle that little dude is to grab it by one end, shake it really hard, and possibly throw it across the room. Bonus points if you grit your teeth so hard that you fear breaking your jaw and shake your fists in the air once it's been launched. It's a strangely energizing stim.
I can't explain *why* that's the best/worst way to do it, I can only encourage anyone with a slug buddy to test my theory.
i can only imagine what it would be like to experience what your sluggy friend has at your hands
OH ABSOLUTELY stim toys that you can slam and toss without it breaking ARE SO GOOD
Im afraid of it breaking :( I just shake him really hard
If it was a snek i would get
@@bloothecow06 there might be one out there!! if im not wrong, it's made through 3D printing
Nothing is more ADHD than sharing everything with your friends and loved ones and showing them everything and pointing out all the stuff you just experienced as a love language. Like if I see something cute, I have to show you. If I touch a soft pillow in the store, I will carry it with me until i find you so you can feel it too. ADHD love language.
I feel the same about needing “that” itch scratched. I want something like a click pen that’s not gonna make everyone around me hate me.
This might sound kinda dumb but I’ve found that empty mechanical pencils work well for wanting to click something without much noise. (Plus you can spin them in your hand if you want)
if spells were real we could stim in a way that would be entirely silent to people
Honestly I quit caring, because I will have an energy explosion if I don't do something like clicking a pen. I had a class mate one time look at me and actually said "Really?" And I looked back and replied, "Well unless you want the room to explode, yes." She quit talking to me and ended up moving, no one else said anything to me. And I just went about my life clicking my pen.
My 7 year old son was recently diagnosed with ADHD and it has been a tough couple of years. I love that you and other big TH-camrs talk so openly about ADHD and how you cope and deal with it. Thank you.
I wish that there were more adultish fidget tools, tools being the main word. I think that neurotypical people really do see it as we need a toy to keep ourselves entertained at all times which is why so many of them look like something you'd give a baby or small child. But that's not how we use them. It's like we have two layers of concentration, active and passive. If we are trying to actively pay attention to something it's really difficult because our passive attention is constantly looking for input which causes us to get distracted by sounds or random thoughts etc etc. Fidget tools give our passive attention something repetitive to focus on that doesn't take a lot of concentration so we're actually able to focus on the thing that we want to be focused on without having our attention pulled away by something else.
OH MY GOD(S)!! I've used the Active and Passive attention span things to explain my brain to people all the time but I've never heard anyone else say something like that!!!
the thing is that they aren’t going to give us that (less childlike stim tools) because they expect that we can just pretend to be and act like them by the time we are adults. we have to make it happen ourselves
I think this kind of goes into the thing with a lot of disability tools. They want to make as much money as possible so they don't advertise directly to disabled people. They advertise to anyone. So infomercial items like electric can openers, comfort wipe, shoedini etc. etc.
Fidget tools are advertised to a wider audience too because they can also be toys for kids. This can make the products cheaper too.
wowowow this is an INCREDIBLE way of putting it! i'm definitely going to start using "active/passive concentration" when I talk about my adhd with non-adhd people. that's a game changer. thank you!!
@@transjesus3454 this is why it's harder to get diagnosed with ASD as a female, and as an adult. It's expected you've "learned how to behave by now" so you "aren't weird", thus many don't get diagnosed and suffer because of it. Sucks
As a fellow ADHD haver, the energy he releases is so relatable. If I’m ever off my meds, I’m worse than him on Unus Annus 😅
The "game console" looking one is one I have actually and I liked it at first but it's getting boring and all of the things I like about it make to much notice for in class. Though it feels cheap it lasts longer then expected it also survived being washed and dried
Ayo what is it called? Please tell me, I want it
I'm losing faith in humanity.
It's amazingly clear and obvious that it's simulating a video game controller. Describing it as "a game console looking thing" is crazy.
honestly if it was just quieter i would like it a lot, when i’m at home it’s great, but in public i’m just frightened it’s too loud so i only use the spin wheel haha
@@GraemeGunn it got the point across didn't it? it doesn't matter if they called it something "crazy" lol u still knew what they were talking about and that's what matters
@@Apples765 fidget toy rubberised controler (but if you look up fidget toy game console or controler you find it easier)
As an autistic person who knows how much of a need stimming is to neurodivergent brains especially, it brings me so much joy to see neurodivergent joy from v specific things / stims. I love ya eef, ya brain is a beautiful thing
When Mika tries out one, Ethan has the sweetest smile 🥲💖
Didn’t they break up?

@@callmek5 this might be me, but i notice she is saying "no" to things he likes. English is not my native language, so this doesn't perfectly describe what i mean. She isn't trying to be mean or being negative towards him on purpose, but for example the slug: she said enthusiastically she heard about it and wants it, and he being nice wantd to give it to her and it's nah. Or he wants to show al the thing he got, some of them he likes very much and she doesn't likes them (not that she needs to like everything, of even something, but she doesn't seem to like it for him neither. If that makes sense), doesn't want to try them/feel them/experience them. Not even for him/to make him happy. And i had this feeling too back when they were a thing before this time... But im unsure if that's just me or not.... ^.^'
I don't mean this nasty. It is his life and if it makes him (them) happy than they should jeep being in a relationship ship.and he doesn't seem unhappy with her. And she really isn't mean spirited or nasty towards him. As long as they are happy than that's a good thing. I just thought I noticed this in some clips.
@@Gemmsie6965 I agree with that. I noticed that too and it was nice to hear it from someone else.
@@vespalemons2083 I was really searching in the comment section if there was someone else seeing this too. But couldn't find anyone at that time. So glad you replied, I really was doubting myself... ^^'
I work with a kid with ADHD and he's used the compression sock things before, he really loves it and he has a blast just sliding around and seeing how much he can make it stretch - it tires him out too so that makes my job even easier!
I was recently diagnosed with ADHD so I’m very excited to see another one of these!
Same here. Had it all my life but only recently diagnosed because college is a lot for me.
Lol same
Having ADHD since I was a child had been nothing but awesome. Sure some days are really frustrating but I learned how to control it kind of. No soda past a certain time no energy drinks and stuff like that. I don't even drink tea. I am supposed to take medicine for mine but honestly I love writing and my brain always thinks of something new and exciting. I can turn an ordinary leaf into an awesome character in under two minutes with a back story and everything.

Hey Ethan, I went to your tour in Columbus OH today, and I just wanted to say thank you so much for inviting me on stage with you. It was such a blast to meet you in person and your show was one of the best things I've ever seen in my life. I'm so proud that you've come this far, thank you so much for all that you do. We love you man!
A really good fidget toy that has really worked for me is a trainer butterfly knife. It has no sharp blade, so you can't cut yourself, but you can learn how to do simple, repetitive tricks on it with one hand that are satisfying to repeat when sitting, standing, and even walking. You can keep it in your pocket as well. It can be a bit noisy though. (At least it doesn't make you look like you're walking around with a "toddlers toy", lol.)
I compare it to a yoyo. There's the basic "open" and "close" trick that's satisfying to do, but you can also learn super complicated tricks that can be just as fun to perform. Personally, just the back and forth pattern of opening and closing is super satisfying to me. You can actually DO something specifically with it instead of just having a little toy with no real purpose.
It can take a bit to learn and you might bruise your knuckles at first, but not whenever you get the hang of it. It's a good idea to hold the knife over a bed or cushion while you're practicing so it doesn't break if you accidentally drop it.
It isn't technically a fidget toy, but it's works best for when I feel like I need to do something with my hands.
In his first adhd fidget toy review, Ethan explained that a butterfly knife trainer was actually his favorite fidget toy that he has. I’ve been dying to get one too!
@@courtneygriffith4664 Oh, I didn't realize that! And yeah, I would definitely recommend it! If you can, though, try to tape a cotton ball to the second knuckle on your index finger when learning the tricks at first. I bruised it up pretty badly since the bite handle kept slamming down onto my finger.
Yikes.
Duuude I don’t have adhd (well at the very least I haven’t been screened/diagnosed) but messing around with a trainer knife is so much fun!
i am literally playing with one right now
When I was in the first grade I was diagnosed with ADHD, some people say with time it gets better but for me as the years go by it's getting worse and worse, I love seeing creators and people that I look up to that also have ADHD and see that it's not holding them back and they can still accomplish things, love you Ethan :)
If it's just getting worse, consider comordbitity. MOST people who have one condition also have another... and another... Each condition makes the possibility of having more conditions more likely. I had what I thought was "super adhd" but it turns out I have adhd, bi polar, borderline, anxiety & depression, dissociative identity disorder, and possibly cptsd and ocd. Not only do a lot of these disorders have symptoms that are similar to adhd counterparts (like hyperfocus vs manic phases, and RSD vs BPD, and adhd memory problems vs amnesia in DID) but also, anything that makes you stressed makes all your conditions worse. Consider that you might want to look at "conditions commonly confused with adhd", not because you don't have adhd, but because you might have one that overlaps and is hiding behind your adhd. Either way, good luck!
I literally just got off the phone with my doctor about my ADHD meds - this feels like a sign
Ayoo and im picking up meds rn (just changed to prozac)
@@MV. Best of luck with them!!
@@Malene_Simonsen tysm!!! I started seeing a neurologist so it should be a good part of my mental health journey
The way he lights up when Mika walks in the room 🥺 that’s love right there!
I'm glad you talked about the noises they make!! A big part of my fidgets are the noises! I find fidget cubes helpful while at work but if they don't make the clicky I don't want it
Same I need the clickies
As someone with ADHD, I especially love these videos, and Ethan's videos in general, the energy n stuff.
Edit: One thing I've noticed about people with ADHD, I do this too, we always encourage others to try something we really like. I dunno why.
If you enjoyed the sack, you should honestly try weighted blankets! I have Anxiety and ADHD and having one has honestly improved my sleep so much. I have a 23lb one and it's hard to sleep without it now. Such comfort! Much hugs.
Or the hug sleep if he was looking for one that he could stick his feet out
Same here!!!! (But mine is 15 pounds, lol)
I sleep with mine every night and the other day I used a regular blanket at it felt sooo light and uncomfortable
Ooh! Have any recs on brands? I'm looking for one, since I can no longer tolerate sleeping with quilts in my tropical country, but I really need the weight on me or else I get night terrors.
i’m under mine rn :)
There's something strangely satisfying about watching Ethan review fidget toys. Just Ethan. I've never seen someone review fidget toys and been strangely satisfied by it like I get watching Ethan do it.
I just want to thank you for helping me on my ADHD journey. In the beginning of 2020, a video of yours first got me thinking that I might have it and next Monday, after a 2 year long struggle, I will finally get tested and hopefully be able to get medication soon!
Wishing you the best of luck!
Hell yeah. I'm proud of you. ADHD is harder to live with than people think.
@@bunlocke how do u even know u have adhd
i'm happy 4 you !! but i hope you know tht getting on medication is complicated . i had to try close to a dozen medications until i finally found one that worked . be patient with yourself please
I’m so happy for you!! I wish you the BEST of luck. Like WOW it’s so best.
Honestly, my favorite ADHD fidget toy is a chainmaille cube made by a good friend of mine. It has great weight, the rings move around and you can play with them, it makes a satisfying ching-ching sound when you throw it between your hands... 10/10 would recommend
there's two that i really like, one is a miniature gear stick and another is literally a small light switch that you can click back & forth. the sensation of, like you said, the clicking of a lighter is the one i look for most
15:26 This brought me an unreasonable amount of serotonin watching Eef get so happy
When he opened the last one he looked like a grateful child on christmas day 🤣
I've got the controller looking one and it's more durable than you'd expect from the kind of plastic, surprisingly. And yes the lighter type mechanism is the most satisfying but also infuriating to anyone else.
I totally want the slug! The noise it makes is so nice and it has great movement. The controller looks like a great one too!
As someone with Autism and ADHD, I too wish there were more options for fidgets for us. Ones that not only help our needs but also don’t attract the attention of other people so they don’t get distracted or annoyed, (and so we don’t get yelled at). And I also agree with Ethan, having a big fidget sucks. It’s nice to have a small one that is easy to carry around. I definitely think he should team up with a company who makes these things to make fidgets that not only up to his standards, but to other people with ADHD, Autism, etc. That would be so cool.
@Dubium. I also have asd like yourself and adhd is definitely not a dumbed down version of asd. They are two completely different things with some similarities. Adhd is soo much more than what you think it is.
THE WAY HE GOT SO HAPPY ON THE LAST ONE WAS SO CUTE
the noise the slug made is so good
this video feels like a dog reviewing the toys his owner bought for him, especially with the ratings being written in third person and the fact that his assistant all bought these for him :)
Him being so wholesome and caring to her is so sweet. His personality instantly changed to smol bean ❤
I have the controller looking thing and it is great! deffo a 9/10 for me bc there are so many options!
I will now also be purchasing the slug bc it is friendshaped.
I also audibly gasped when he brought out the tangle bc I love that shit so much! It's excellent for silent fidgeting during meetings at work!
Oddly enough, the green snappy thing gave me such icky sensory vibes despite looking like the kind of thing I'd liek - not a fan of suction cuppy noises!
As an autism therapist these toys make me so happy!!
As a person from maine with adhd who has always felt like their energy annoys the hell out of people Ethan is such an inspiration and he honestly gives me more hope for my life than anything or anyone else
11:00 i dont know about ADHD but these guys helped me a lot with my anxiety
I'm thirty years old and recently found out that I have ADHD and that I'm autistic. And let me tell you, friend, this video (and the other ones like it) is a GIFT. Thank you for sharing, Ethan!
Bro the way he was so sweet to his partner made me tear up I love eathan sm and he is adorable in a way
Cool story, Ethan made me realize I had ADHD and now I'm actually diagnosed. Thanks, Eef!
i would be diagnosed by now but none of my guardians are willing to do the Vanderbilt 😀👍🏻

@@dionemartins0212 But i also couldn't care less personally do what you want lol
I’m not sure if this would work for many people, but I find kneaded erasers are really nice to fiddle with. It’s like putty, but not nearly as messy or sticky, doesn’t smell bad, and can be found at most craft stores. (I’m a person who absolutely hates the texture of slime, but this stuff is fun).
me too!! i really like messing with my prismacolor one, but there are ones that you can get that are softer and some that are scented :0
I can’t get enough of blonde Eef
Also, in the wide words of Logan Sanders; “WHO GAVE HIM A KNIFE?!”
Also also, magnet beads really helped with my ADD so those are good
Let the man use a knife😂😂 also, nice quote from Logan😂
eef and mika at the end was so cute. they’re so sweet and gentle with each other 🥺
I wanna see Ethan try crunchy slimes. I know it's not ideal to use with one hand but they are pretty nice. I use them to listen to class lectures on zoom.
I'm personally addicted to buckyballs. You should give those a go; they're fun to press on, build with, and are discreet to put in your pocket and fidget with.
yay! i love these videos! its comforting too see you talk about adhd stuff tbh
there is something about Ethan that makes me so happy. i love that he is not afraid to be himself. (sorry about my bad spelling)
i also wanna say how funny it is seeing what his assistant thinks he would like
god i missed these videos. the slug makes AMAZING sounds and i desire to be with him. also the compression thing seems like it might actually be really nice
right i really want it now
It shouldn't matter if other people are around, they should respect your self medicating ways, especially if it's perfectly healthy. My older sister's partner once threatened to break my fingers because I was therapeutically tapping my nails to sooth my anxiety.
13:30 ah yes the universal experience of being hated for making a constant noise/movement you weren’t even necessarily aware of
Sharing fidgets/sensory tools is a love language! I have both a body sock and a weighted blanket and I get way more use out of the sock!
honestly the best "fidget toys" I've found for myself are,,, soft erasers and kneadable erasers, tiny and quiet
i love fidgets with clicking sounds and all but sadly thats not socially acceptable when around people so eraser it is

This content is INCREDIBLY relevant, informative, and useful to me. I will watch every single one of these reviews put out. Also, I HIGHLY recommend a Rubik's Cube keychain. Useful as a fidget, portable, and not out of place for anyone with keys at any age.
So just incase anyone is wondering the last one is from a company called sanho and the thing is called a sensory body sock. I knew I was curious and I thought maybe other people wanted to know so yeah. Just sos you know
The best fidget toy I've ever had is a plain ol' thing of Silly Putty.
It's squishy, conforms to your hand, you can stretch it, mold it, rip it into bits and mush em back together, make little bubbles with it and pop em... it's so nice. And it's like a buck and change!
10:50 Those are my son's favorite. They're called Simpl Dimpls. There are bigger ones too, but I like the small ones because you can clip them on a belt loop or on your backpack.
when you pulled out the tangle I was literally fidgeting with mine! except the one I was holding was smooth, but I had a textured one in a box of stim toys, and I grabbed that one, forgot how nice it was. I use the smooth one in one hand by coiling it over and over. Hard to explain, but they come coiled up except for the part that connects the circle, which sticks out off the side. I put my index finger in that loop, push the coil apart, and then start redo-ing the coil around my index finger, so the whole thing shifts over a couple links. And just repeat that forever lol.
I absolutely love Ethan's eagerness to share the things he loves with Mika.
i've actually been struggling to find adhd toys for myself so this video really helped introduce me to a bunch of different ones that i never rly considered! and your feedback abt the textures, practicality, etc. is greatly appreciated
I recently had a discussion with my doctor about how I might be dyslexic because I have a hard time reading and have memory issues. He said that to him that combined with my other symptoms that it may be something like ADHD or ADD. Sometimes I get overwhelmed and have to fidget or stim so these videos are very helpful so I can see all the different types of toys are out there! I haven’t been formerly diagnosed yet, but my appointment to discuss my assessment is soon! Thanks for being a cool dude eef.
Ooh, this inspires me to get some more. The last assortment box I got tickles none of my stim-quieting. Too many sticky things or puzzles.
The “resulting to monkey noises the second a good or exciting thing is discovered” is so very relatable 😂
I love the slug!! I have a 5inch one that's small enough to hold with one hand and its made with light filament. It feels so good to fidget with using just one hand
Weighted blankets/shrugs/vests and those fidget balls that have all the buttons and knobs and joysticks are my favorites!! The noodle thing also brings back memories of being in second grade and playing with them at my desk while the teacher talked. My parents are special ed teachers and it took until at least high school for me to notice that most people don't need fidgets to help them focus.
Also, the green suction thing sounds and looks amazing!! I would use it so much even if it annoyed people around me. Luckily I work in a supported living facility and fidgets and sensory tools are the norm.
5:10 i’ve had this one for about a year and a half, and surprisingly nothing has worn down, but the fact two of the buttons aren’t clicky bothers me like crazy,
if the joystick felt more like an actual joystick, i think i would only use that,
but i mostly use the lil spiny wheel on it, because everything else is so loud that i don’t want to use it in public lul
Please tell me what it is called.
I actually have the one from 6:05! I use it all the time and surprisingly it did not wear down even after few months of use. Really helps me to concentrate and is indeed great help for calming down my hyperactive ass. If anyone ever had a habit of clicking pen repeatedly, then this toy is just perfect for you in my opinion. Yes, all buttons have different amount of pression that you can click on them with, and it is just like perfect personally to me, because there are not only clicky ones, but also very soft and silent that do not annoy others as much. It is also just great because of its size and amount of things you can do with it, different textures and mechanisms you can feel and play around with. It can really help you with not losing focus through the day, atleast it does for me. My personal favorite!
That just makes my heart melt when I see Ethan being happy about a fidget toy
my favorite fidget thing is something called a spinflux. Its REALLY expensive because of how its made, but its so nice. A powerful spherical magnet in the center surrounded by a metal ring makes this crazy magnetic resistance and its the most satisfying thing I have, yet entirely silent. Also built like a tank, cause its literally metal (aluminium plated in nickel, solid neodymium magnet in center), but as very expensive
Edit: also it doesn't look like a toddlers toy cuz its a massive metal ring
10:35

When I’m feeling the ADHD or anxiety, I just Crazy Aaron’s putty and just play with it while I do something else. It’s the best I’ve found for fidgeting with!
