I Review Amazon ADHD Fidget Toys

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

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😂

Mark forgetting to record in 4K in a video about ADHD toys is like the most ADHD thing ever.

hearing mark say “neurotypical weirdos” is so healing for my adhd autistic self

Didn't think Markiplier himself would teach me ADHD management but here we are

Mark: probably spends around 100 dollars for this video
Also mark: proceeds to play with scissors

Mark thinking his audience is neurotypical is adorable

I love how mark is literally our big brother, our best friend, and our fun uncle all at the same time.

I said "that's a lot of plastic" out loud to myself and then markiplier said that exact phrase immediately after. makes me feel special.

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

the scissors, the one thing that wasn’t intended to be a fidget, being one of the best ones is so real

i love how mark was saying how the pill bottle was frustrating, and then immediately started fidgeting with it while he talked

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

13:20 Mark's talk about breaking tasks down into smaller units is really helpful for anxiety too. I used get so overwhelmed with big, vague tasks on my to-do list that my mental response was to just not do ANYTHING because I felt like I wouldn't be able to accomplish everything I needed to, so why even try? I was burned out before I even started just from thinking about all the stuff I had to do in a short time. Now that I've gotten into making detailed lists with smaller tasks, it's a whole new ball game. My only regret is that it's something I learned to do by myself, through trial and error. I wish I'd learned to do this when I was younger, would have made school so much easier on my lil brain.

mark going from sincere to *welp anyways* is the definition of ADHD

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

The amount of times that Mark just randomly changed topics while in the middle of a thought is probably the best example of how ADHD works in the brain ever. It’s also amazing that big creators like Mark are putting their mental challenges out there and not even caring. And he’s probably the best example of you don’t need to be mentally stable to be successful. ADHD gang for life!!

I got diagnosed with ADHD at about 5 and when I first started taking meds the doctor was like “most of my patients need meds to not do something illegal” and i was just like “oh”

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

If Markiplier was my online teacher, I would wear headphones

I have autism, ADD and OCD, and this video really warms my heart. I'm 33 like Mark (1989 baby!) and trust me, being diagnosed early is a LOT easier now than it was in the 90's or early 00's! There was so much taboo and less knowledge about diagnosing children ("they're just being brats!") and people (even some professionals) believed that ADHD was only something children could have. It was not easy, neither for the kid nor the parents, so like Mark I got diagnosed pretty late. I think a lot of us neurodivergent people watch him because he's not afraid to be vulnerable and himself and talk openly about it. Research has come far, but we also need to normalize it, and that's what he's doing.

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

As someone who recently got diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, I love the intro to this video and all it’s rambly, tangential, self-aware glory.

The editing in this video is top notch. Very appreciable.

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

Lixian is one of the editors of all time

Mark going from reviewing a 3D printed fidget toy to showing his 3D printing machine is so relatable

This is one of my favorite mark videos of all time. it's just so unhinged and pure.

0:25 mark's jump into "this is the worst thing ever" was the most accurate ADHD representation i have ever seen

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

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

Markiplier is the only man I wouldent mind him just rambling for an hour and still watch the whole way through.

I originally watched this when it came out 4 months ago and didn't finish it because I got distracted, and now I'm back to finish it.
God I love ADHD

The fact that you think it’s necessary to mention that you have ADHD is the most adorable thing ever🥰

Mark realizing that the Mjolnir spinner can spin while also being on the counter was so funny to me

i had one of the first toys growing up but all the little plastic bits were instead made of metal. didnt stop us from mashing our faces in it just like mark, though 😂 glad to see theyre more safety conscious these days

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

Love this part so much 14:37 and the sissor part, Also I’m autistic and I love watching big time creators talk about mental illnesses and neurodivergency. Love the video mark! ❤😂😊

This is a minor point, but this shows a bit of a difference between tactile and visual stims! Most of the fidget toys in the video were tactile, but Markiplier ended up preferring the visual stimulation of the lava lamp thing! It’s something I’ve always found fascinating as a person who mostly benefits from auditory and tactile stimming

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 really said, "gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss". 🤣

Lixian must love the review videos they are so ridiculous and I love them! 🤣♥️

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.

came for the chaos and stayed for the surprisingly insightful advice on how to handle my adhd. i also got diagnosed at 20.

love how he finds a rubber ball on a string unfun and absolutely noisy
but is litterally in pure joy of existence when moving his fingers with magnetic rings is funny

Fantastic video as always - one thing that stuck out to me the most was feeling something like relief when I realized that I had been diagnosed around the same age as Mark had - I was 21 myself, when I was diagnosed. And that, along with autism, was something I had felt lost with, when it had taken so many years to have been given the certainty by a professional. But knowing that he was diagnosed at a similar age made me feel a little better about how long it took for myself.
I hope he gets that sponsorship! [From anyone at all] [If he hasn't already]

Mark: "unlike you neurotypical weirdos"
me: looking around my empty room thinking "who's he talking to?"

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

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

Thank you for this video! My son has ADHD and loved watching you rate these toys. As a bonus, you helped me make his Christmas list ❤ 🎉

I love how when he described the one at 34:53 he said how beautiful it was because of the way it worked and then used peeing as an example later

Mark is the type of guy to have peas and call them beans

You know the video is good when Mark is immediately putting his face on a toy..😂

imma be 100% his advice for getting things done is eye opening and im gonna do my best to stick to it

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

35:00 gives such a relaxing vibe, especially in combination with the soft music and Mark's deep voice. Then 1 minute later, full on anxiety attack about time and dying... Thanks Mark!👀😂

The subgroup of the fanbase that has been summoned is both unsurpisingly large, and quite enjoyable to see as a an AuDHD.

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.

Thank you for bein here after all of these years Mark🖤
always good to see you!
hope you find the best sponsor soon
Also cool hat 🤭

As someone with ADHD watching mark play with these fidget toys is making me jealous 😭

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.

Small popables are great! I have a two button one that came on a keychain, and I usually just pop it onto the zipper of my hoodie. Definitely up there with my favorites, like fidget cubes, magnetic rings, fidget spinners, and slow rise squish toys, in terms of portability! Really neat seeing how different people's preferences for how they stim and what they enjoy getting out of fidgets/stimming. big fan, love it!!

I have had the ring magnet things for a few years and I found that using two of them instead of three and just spinning two of them. It is less likely to fall, it requires much less thinking (I sometimes forget that I have it in my hand) and I like to spin one of them on my finger too. I have found myself doing a presentation in front of the teacher much more easily because of how absorbed I get in the notes because my brain is able to kind of hold onto thoughts easier.

I never thought I'd sit still for 45 minutes to watch someone rate fidgit toys but here we are

as someone with both adhd and anxiety i really like squishy toys. Right now I’m really into mochi squishies. i ordered some larger ones since they’re usually only like an inch long but they’re not filled with anything so they can’t break. only downside is that, if too cheap, they can be shaped weird (like the one i have now) or even sticky. but they’re super squishy and really fun to play with.
i loved regular stress balls but they always break on me or develop air bubbles from being used too much or cheap; that’s why i like mochi squishes, they’re not “filled” so no air bubbles or breaking and they are also really portable and easy to wash

I loved the moment when you just decided to let the mjölnir on the table
And i wanted so much to see it just keeping it spinning all the video
Having ADHD and seeing this kind of toys and being excited for having one that you like in your hands
Is an experience that i love so much

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

Breaking things down as much as possible is actually quite the good tip for me. I never really thought about up to this point and was just kinda mad at myself for not acting on what I want to do, especially for myself, because everything seems like such a big hurdle for me that the moment I would try to start something I'd quit or fail only to be stuck deeper in that negative mentality. I usually set myself a certain idiotic condition bound to a time limit like a call I don't want to make but when my phone battery is 69% it's go time. To make a list that breaks all the things that might come off as overwhelming might not only make some clarity in an otherwise uninformed tangled mess into a nice adaptable list you can work off at a comfortable pace but also encourage to continue if combined with a reward system.

As a AU-ADHD person, this is amazing. I want the pea/bean one so baddd😮

15:25 man this makes so much more sense after hearing Mark's experience with the magnet exhibit at the museum

FUN FACT: The OG fidget is called Mobius ball, and they're made out of chainmaille rings. I have like 4 that I figured out how to make 😅. There's a really interesting story behind them too

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.

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

my fav adhd part of this is how he has chapters for the first two toys and then forgot to do one for the rest

Those straws strangely grabbed my attention a lot, like I was slightly distracted during the others, but I had 100% focus when he opened the straw & started spinning it. Those straws I’d give a 9/10, I wish I had em

I love how he has some of the most fun with the scissors

Did anyone notice the constant panic of being broke lol love Mark's attitude

Going to this channel because my head is pounding so hard I veel like my brain is trying to escape out of my head. This man’s voice is so calming

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

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

i didn’t expect to get helpful ADHD executive function tips from Mark but I’m very thankful

as a person with adhd, I respect.

The liquid hourglass thing can be found in basically any tourist's gift shop. I'm surprised Mark "hasn't seen one since he was a kid."

every time mark picked something up and it immediately broke i was just like.... yup thats my life but also laughing my ass off LMAO

"i'm also an asshole, which does give me the grounds to make such claims."

truly inspiring, awestriking words of wisdom

Thanks to Mark, I bought an ONO Roller and I too LOVE IT!! Many other of my ADHD Friends love it as well. I agree with him (39:20), it is one of the better Fidgets out there.

actually the bean magnets are really fun, ive had them as a child. you take two and throw them lightly in the air close together and they make really cool sound

I met Markiplier one time outside a restaurant by a Gelsons market in West Hollywood and to be completely honest, I was so rude because I interrupted him in the middle of a conversation with someone without even really acknowledging the other person. Mark was still nice but visibly like 😶 and to this day I think of that memory when I see Mark’s face

So fun! This got me to sort through all of my fidget toys. All 34 of them.😆

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.

GUYS. HE MADE THE THUMBNAIL AND POSTED THE VIDEO!! round of applause for Mark everyone.

The ONO roller is amazing, I got mine not too long ago and I’m in love with it. Highly recommend 10/10

I think mark would really enjoy a figet ring, its 1 handed, silent and fun

As a person with adhd I concur these toys are GENIUS

Thanks for all of the contents Mark these videos are really good to watch thanks again

LOL mark fidgets with scissors for 52 seconds straight and gives them a high review🤣😂

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

i love rewatching these, brings me joy

Just spent the better part of an hour watching a grown man play with toys...
And I'm OK with that.

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