I Review Amazon ADHD Fidget Toys 

Markiplier: The man who once owned 5 ovens Also Markiplier: "I want four 3D Printers!!!"

The fact that scissors was the first one he liked perfectly sums up ADHD

mark playing with the scissors and enjoying them more than the actual fidget toys reminds me of a cat who has a thousand toys but prefers plastic bags

Anything is a fidget toy whenever you’re fidgety. I’ve made several out of rubber bands, paperclips, binder clips, pieces of paper, the little plastic thing that covers the metal prongs of plugs when they aren’t in use… anything. I have purchased a few things like quality slimes and pop-its, but I’m more likely to mess with random objects I leave on my desk.

Mark jokingly using the scissors as a “fidget toy” only to then enjoy it is so relatable

Fidget toys, horror elements, self marketing, gaslighting lessons, past trauma of loss and existential crisis... ahhh the perfect markiplier video

Him going from disappointed to super happy in 2 seconds with the beans is amazing.

Actually Markiplier's ADHD tips in the middle of video because of the medication weighted toy thing seem like good advice. I've been lucky to be diagnosed for most of life, and even then I could never figure out tatics to manage it. Breaking stuff down into smaller things sounds really helpful for me. I'll keep that in mind.

Mark playing with the scissors has the same energy as getting a cat a bed or a scratch post, but they just wanna play with the box it came in.

Mark randomly getting upset with sourpatch was the most relatable ADHD thing in this video

As a stimmy autist waiting to be referred for adhd assessment it fills me with so much joy to see creators like Markiplier normalising fidget toys

There’s something so wholesome about watching Markiplier play with toys for an entire video

"i'm also an asshole, which does give me the grounds to make such claims." - markiplier 2022 truly inspiring, awestriking words of wisdom

Mark saying he'll separate the video into chapters but then not labeling half of the toys is the absolute best thing I've ever seen

A real ADHD icon. Neurodivergent joy makes me so hapoy to see, and to see a big creator sharing it is just so nice and comforting

I have adhd and I can definitely tell that Mark, Sean and Ethan has it because I can tell WE MUST BE THERE FOR EACHOTHER

the sheer amount of times he gets sidetracked is actually really accurate

The fact that he was somewhat enjoying himself while playing with those plastic straws, only to suddenly declare "I just got mad at Sour Patch" out of nowhere was truly the most relatable ADHD thing I have ever witnessed.

11:27 Did anyone else fidget with scissors when severely understimulated in school? I'm surprised I never lost a finger.

Hey !! That cube you had , the two *not clicky buttons* They do click ! (At least on my cube) you just have to tilt the cube a certain way (you have to play around with it a bit) They give a less obstructed click and a softer push , it's kind of like a task to find the right angle to make them click , I really like it !! :)

Mark, Ethan, and Sean all having ADHD makes so much sense. We roam in packs, like poorly emotionally regulated wolves.

You know what I love most about Mark? He never wears hats. Just an awesome thing that I think needs to be mentioned, his total lack of ever wearing hats

mark: the og of fidget toys... the fidget spinner me: but... what about the slinky

mark enjoying the scissors more than 90% of the actual fidget toys is the same energy as my best friend of 30+ years forever going back to keeping either two AA batteries or a snapple cap in his pocket in spite of having a couple dozen different fidget toys around his house (some of which came from his 3D printer)

mark: *spins scissors around his hand fearlessly* also mark: the slinky is scary what if it cuts my hand D:

This is the most Mark has ever expressed his ADHD and I relate 100%.

There’s nothing better than just putting rocks in your pocket and playing with them as you complete tasks throughout your day

I find the different preferences fascinating. Some people will swear about toys that make sounds: the clicks, the whirrs etc Others really go by touch and texture mostly. While others really prefer visuals. That's why it is important to really try out different toys and find out what appeals to you the most. I like the clicky ones, but I'm a bit picky. I don't like these cheap ones that barely work, and it can be hard to come by good ones.

Mark thinking his audience is neurotypical is adorable

Hearing neurotypicals described as weird freaks of nature was hilarious and sort of refreshing

Something I love is fidget jewelry, rings, bracelets, necklaces. Even just a regular necklace, moving the charm back and forth on the chain is personally satisfying but I also have this Ferris wheel one that spins kinda like a fidget spinner or you can just twist it with your fingers witch is what I usually do.

Why does everyone say the fidget spinner came first?? The fidget cube was around long before it and it was THE SHIT. I had one of the original ones before they actually came out and were mass produced ^^ The fidget cube should get more credit for starting the fidget craze /lh

Mark: gives everything a reasonably low level Also mark, with the only dangerous option (scissors): “honestly this ain’t bad”

"I am conscious about the noise i am making, i don't like making that much noise, I don't like BOTHERING PEOPLE with my noise" *I have never felt so understood*

1:21 adhd in a nutshell: *you doing a regular thing* *you see a squirrel* *you chase that squirrel until you die* *you tealize that you went off track and return to what you were doing* *suddenly everyone thinks you’re weird*

long coldpacks/warmpacks are literally SO fun to play with im not even kidding

Mark is definitely an old school ADHD toy kinda guy where the office desk toys are his favorites.

Mark’s point of not wanting a fidget toy to make noise is something I relate to immensely, and I haven’t heard many people share that opinion so hearing Mark say it was neat

Quick story, I was diagnosed with ADHD/ADD as a toddler in the early 2000s and now I'm in my mid twenties. Thanks to the right medication and a LOT of therapy, I feel more myself and more functional. Even working on a degree in vet medicine. But it is a privilege. And some aren't for everybody. I'm so glad Mark does these videos

Fidget companies: Come on down, buy a fidget toy from us! Me: *reaches for the pen next to me* Fidget companies: W-what are you doing? *I begin to twirl the pen* Fidget companies: No! You're supposed to buy a toy from us! *I ignore them and continue the pen twirling*

Markiplier: Has a nice house and a tesla Also him: Uses camera lens to hold his mic in place oh yeah he also used to own 5 ovens

marks mild obsession with death makes so much sense with his ADHD. like I (and many other people w/ ADHD that I know) am driven to complete tasks when there is a deadline. Mark just happens to be motivated by the ULTIMATE deadline.

Okay, your channel is literally all I've been watching lately. I was just diagnosed with ADHD and autism and my kiddo was also diagnosed with autism at one and a half years old. This video is fantastic! I really appreciate that you took time to offer advice on this subject. I'm always happy to find peers in the neurodivergent community. I kind of look up to you because you really seem to have your life together. When I got my diagnoses, I felt like I would never be able to function or connect with people. I am happy to finally have a proper diagnosis though. I've been misdiagnosed for most of my life. So everything I've experienced finally makes sense. I love your content! Keep being you!

This item at 34:50 kinda reminds me stuff my dad used to buy on our vacations. But instead of just fluid it has sand in it in different colors (probably some of it is made out of glass) and you just rotate it and watch sand fall and create sort of landscapes... Sure sandy ones, but still. It's different colors can sometimes create it's own shapes and I have one (unfortunately it's broken and liquid dried out) that still remains in shape like Tatra mountains.

markiplier: i don’t get the urge to fidget markiplier: *fidgets with scissors for 52 seconds straight and gives them a high review*

I predict MatPat is going to make Mark the "perfect fidget toy". There, I said it first.

13:53 I’ve never been diagnosed with adhd. Some have been saying I potentially may be on the autism spectrum. I don’t want to make any solid statements on wether I do or not, until I’m certain via a diagnosis. However, breaking down daily tasks and productivity tasks into simple, straightforward check lists is legitimately one of the major things I do just so I can be productive and not totally distracted by practically anything nearby. Like even jotting down a time to shower, or have a grocery task to check off, but a separate in-depth grocery list as it’s own thing. It’s almost like a very detail heavy day planner. Growing up, I’d fidget with silly putty so much in school, that my favourite one that I used almost hourly physically melted in my hands during a school assembly. I don’t know if it was overworked over time, or if it just got too old, but it basically became very sticky glue that got everywhere. I guess that’s what attracted me to this video in particular because these modern fidget toys seem so much better than a wad of silly putty in your fist 24/7.

The oil droppers are one of my favourites, I had one like that before! My sibling had another one that dropped tiny drops down a spiral, the drops would merge into one big blob sometimes and I would watch it for hours when I was a kiddo. That, and one slime I had that I could play with in one hand. Most slimes are a no for me, but that one was perfect. I think it was called a crystal slime and it maybe bounced? But it was perfect and wasnt wet feeling and it stretched nicely. Also, blue tack and hair ties are great! But I agree, I like things that I can fidget with with one hand and that don't make noise. I curl, stretch and wrap hair ties around my fingers quite a lot because they aren't really obtrusive, they're portable and double up in terms of practical uses.

The fact that Mark’s editor has to specify to the audience to not play with scissors tells you a lot about Mark, the editor and the people watching

I think Mark is bold for implying that the bulk of his fanbase and audience are not also incrediblely nuerodivergent

For my opinion the best fighet toys are popsockets 1.Simple but nice movement 2. Makes little noises but not to much 3. Low Chance to Lose them when you just plug them to your phone

I was recently diagnosed with adhd and mark I can say that if we are in any way similar then we probably learned how to cope until we got medicine which in turn made the fidget toys not much use and the pill bottle reminds me a lot of the mighty beanz toys

The fact that the chapter just stays on "second toy" for like a dozen toys is great.

Mark talking about breaking tasks into small pieces brought back a memory of how I used to section off the big areas of my coloring pages that I wanted to color the same color, but I didn't want to do all that work to color the whole thing so I just tricked my brain into thinking I was only coloring a little bit. I was a frickin' genius at four years old

I just got the magnetic rings. I am a big fan of magnets, but I agree with Mark here. I don't want things that make noise since I work in an office setting. I bought the hand roller thing before I watched the video and I'm glad I did now. Amazon customers and Mark rave about it, so I might like it.

the second one i expected to be a blanket with the strings sewn into the blanket at the edges, which is just a normal blanket but when i was a kid(and now) i’ve always had my like 8 string blanket and i love them i always pick at the strings a little and for a while i couldn’t sleep without one and i never realized that i was fidgeting with it until now

This is easily the most based/wholesome Markiplier has ever been in my opinion. It feels so honest.

Mark using the term "neurotypical" and being open about his medication made my year

I actually used to have the little peas in a pod fidget a long time ago that my counselor gave me. Seeing it again in this video (and seeing that Markiplier enjoyed it) made me really happy. I should really buy a new one since my old one got lost.

In my personal preference I love the infinity cubes. I’ve gotten so used to using them

Mark talking about sour patch like a bitter ex.. And talking about sponsors like a lonely bachelor. Quality content.

Mark: makes videos for a living Also mark: uses a camera lens as a mic stand

The thing in the pill bottle is legit just a mighty bean. Remember when those were a thing?

30:54 Those magnets are different, when you put two together, they vibrate and make a very obnoxious sound

The improper method of sitting in a chair, the admittance that he has no idea which direction the conversation will go, the constant tangents, the genuine glee with some of these toys, the abrupt declaration that he was thinking about sour patch kids and how angry they make him in a totally unrelated video... how was this man only diagnosed in his 20s

Big shoutout to Momiplier for telling Mark he's cool. Mom of the year.

8:35 you can get those pop it things in ball form. i have one and its very conveniently shaped & easy to hold and when you squeeze it after pushing the bubble things it makes a nice sound

“whats with the hat?” (answer like he said 😭) 30:02

I’m happy that mark branched out and started playing video games, but I’m glad he has gone back to his roots as a toy review channel.

Honestly, as someone with ADHD, the time that Mark just randomly started to play with the scissors and found them more entertaining than the actual products is probably the best example of how ADHD works someone could give😂

18:30 I do have one of these, a space themed, bigger one and I’ve learned it and I can thinklessly just do it 😊

Been a subscriber on multiple channels since 2014 still one of my favorite channels. Love seeing your progress over the years.❤

*Mark asserting his youtuber dominance on us by using an expensive camera lens as a mic stand*

Thank you Mark for giving us a 44 minutes long visual representation of adhd in action

i love rewatching these, brings me joy

14:53 for some reason I got extremely happy when he pulled the magnet rings out, maybe because I am also playing with them? Also the scissor thing is hilarious because I also like playing with them.

I think it's fascinating to see how Mark fully embraces his ADHD. I was diagnosed very young in life and took medication for the majority of my youth. It's inspiring to see someone like Mark showing a more positive side to ADHD that definitely wasn't around when I was younger.

Mark: starts laughing Also mark: instantly starts having depression

I love the fact that through all of this, Mark is using a camera lens as a mic stand

As someone with ADHD, this video is so comforting to my inner child.

Mark casually using an expensive camera lens as a microphone holder and hitting it with the ball is everything. Meanwhile I slightly hit it and have a heart attack thinking it's broken.

The fight between Mark and Sour Patch Kids is amazing and he deserves to be responsored

the pinboard is one of my favorite stim toys, and putting my face on it is... not something i do often!! i mostly just push in all the pins over and over

The magnetic rings toy is actually one of my favorites, but not the way Mark was using it. You gotta put the rings in a triangle shape, put your middle finger through one side of the rings, and your thumb partway through a different ring on the other side, and then rotate your thumb and middle finger either clockwise or counter clockwise depending on which is comfortable. It can take some practice or adjustment of your fingers to different rings to make it rotate more smoothly, but it becomes a very satisfying background activity once you get it right.

Mark staring intensely into the camera as he talks about sharing your glasses is strangely relatable 💀

Mark's face when he tried the magnetic rings is adorable

Mark: "I dont really feel a need to fidget at all. I'm very well composed." Me: *thinks back to every time I've seen him shift around in his chair or pull at/feel his facial hair, especially on his chin.* "Uh-huh. Sure, Mark." -is it weird that i've noticed his stimming and know what a few of them are?-

Honestly, the scissors being an amazing fidget toy just proves that some people with adhd like the simple things and there should be a wider variety of simple fidget objects. I love scissors, tweezers, hair clips, staplers, animals of the “small biter” genus, I call them.

Mark has Sour Patch Kids war flashbacks ... Also Mark : starts spinning plastic tubes violenty ...

He had more fun with a pair of scissors than with any of the acutal toys in this video. *excellent*

I always have seen Mark as a cool, funny, gamer guy and then his excitement about the little beans was so funny and unexpected 😂. Also the fact that every few minutes you can see his dog walking by in the background is just hilarious

The fidget toys I use the most are magnetic fidget sliders and haptic coins. They make a lot of noise, but I make noises wherever I go and whatever I do, randomly pulling out drum solos on my desk without even noticing it myself one single bit, so for me fidget toys giving me haptic and audible feedback is just the best. My cats sometimes get annoyed but my girlfriend being hyper sensitive wearing headphones 24/7 it's alright for us. I also wear headphones like 18/7. And I have ADHD. I got myself a cheapo copy of the magnet sliding deck of cards thing (it's called the shuffle by lautie) and it's an absolute banger for me, giving me all the feedback I need and often occupying the perfect amount of my mental capabilities, so that the rest is more comfortable to handle for my brain.

Markiplier: "as you can see im well composed" *starts talking to his dogs less than a minute later*

Mark playing with the scissors and the bike pump reminds me of cats being more excited about the new box their toys came in than their new toys 😂

I don’t know what I have, I’ve always had a hard time getting motivation to do literally ANYTHING but what you said about breaking things down into small tasks was extremely helpful

I would love to see Mark with a little keyboard fidget! It doubles as a keychain and he can hold it in his hand and click away. There’s some with customizable options (key cap color and silent switches) and I think it would be a good option for him

Markiplier is actively telling his fans to gaslight people and I am here for it.

I remember finding out Mark has ADHD and going "OHHH - that explains some things" Then getting my own ADHD diagnosis this year and going "OHHHHHH THAT EXPLAINS SOME THINGS"

Mark: "I dont like making noise" Me: *starts thinking about Mark playing Getting Over It*

the sheer dissapointment on mark's face when the toy broke was hillarious 💀
