‘Will you let me burn?’ - Happy Birthday, Daze!

- Teachers are not educated on what fidget spinners/fidget items are used for and automatically assume them to be “toys” and “distractions” and ban them from classrooms, getting rid of a valuable resource for those who benefit from stimming/fidgeting.

- Kids/students who use the fidget spinners as frisbees or use them obnoxiously in the middle of class (spinning them in the air or doing tricks with them while the teacher is trying to teach the class).

what ISNT the problem with fidget spinners:

At my school they’ve been banned because people are abusing the privilege of owning one and using it in a disruptive/distracting way. This makes it impossible for teachers to sort out who actually needs them to focus and who is just messing around with them because they’re cool. Teens with learning disabilities have enough to worry about, they don’t need their coping toy taken from them because some kids chose to be a dick with theirs.

I’m not asking NT people to stop, but really encourage your friends, kids, peers, to use them respectfully and correctly, so the people who actually need them to do their work can continue to do so. We’ve been using fidget toys for years and years, and it’s great that some NT people are using them now, but most of them are using it in a way that is just making it even harder for us to cope with our issues without these fidgets.
