People do not believe you have ADHD or Autism if you are considered extremely attractive, well spoken, intellectual, and intelligent. It’s actually insane.
lets be real, while our nail biting is common to anxiety as well, we do it so much some of us have to get acrylic nails for us to STOP chewing on our nails and cuticles, and that the second we stop, we go RIGHT BACK to biting and chewing on them we’re just told “calm down”
“Fidget toys are ridiculous. ADHD and autism didn’t exist back in my day.”
Oh yeah? That’s because we had:
- clicking pens
- chewing pencils
- speaking into fans
- peeling Elmers off our hands
- rubbing that broken shirt seam
- drawing the cool S
- bouncy balls in all sizes
- slap bracelets
- rubber bands
This is sensory seeking and self-regulation, before it was commercialized.
So after all of the backlash and Maya having a one on one FaceTime call with him his response is “I’ve seen animals on other peoples streams” yeah dumbass that’s the point. It wasn’t good when they did it either. It’s exploiting living beings for content and the majority of these animals streamers get are from breeders or places that don’t take care of them. Outside of Adapt I feel like none of the other faze guys actually care about what Maya teaches and they’ll always prioritize content and views over morals. He can’t even take accountability and admit it was a mistake. He’s still trying to put blame on others by saying “well they do it too so why can I?” The point is no one should be doing it Jason. Maya is way too nice to these idiots.
