In today's video, we get into the nitty gritty of "Do fidget spinners reduce anxiety?" I give a comprehensive review of all the various self-help claims that come with Fidget Spinners, and evidence is shown to either further or contract all of those points. These points include topics like the treatment of autism, the reduction of anxiety, the general side effects of the spinners themselves, and much, much more. All information to support the evidence was taken from experts in Psychology and medical fields, including Dr. Kollins from Duke University, dr. Schweitzer from UC, Davis, and Occupational Therapist, Stephen Poss. Leave a comment down or tweet me about your experience with fidget spinners. Did they help you, harm you, or was it just a simple toy you used for five seconds and never tried again?
