I would have hit the bone on the tip of both my elbows and been howling by my second rotation. This little man has talent.
Right!! I would have died to death 😆🤣
"Autistic spinning is a self-stimulatory behavior, or stim for short. It helps children on the spectrum self-regulate. Children who spin are stimulating their vestibular system. This sensory system helps with our sense of balance, coordination, movement, and spatial orientation."
That’s right, between the spins, a young kid with headphones, and the sporadic eye contact you’ve nailed it.
you could post any video of a kid doing anything slightly out of the ordinary and all of reddit suddenly become experts who diagnose the kid with autism... smh
I bet that kid is also highly active on r/wallstreetbets.
But would r/wallstreetbets take that bet?
Yolo!
this kid legitimately has autism though
how do you know? do you have any evidence? stop making assumptions like this
Lol. Because you didnt know this people who do know what this is must think they are experts on everything. Believe it or not people on reddit are living with or have a family member who has ASD and are educated about it.
No one suspects you have any qualifications but i do.
so? you cant just see a 40 second video of a kid and go "yeah he got the tism" i was tested myself as a kid and i find it incredibly offensive how blatantly people like you are throwing this stuff around, even if youre qualified, you dont have enough to go on so dont go around stating your assumptions as a fact
But also that kid almost definitely is autistic this isn’t a one off. The behavior is extremely likely that it’s an autistic child. To be fair I think it’s super cool.
Are they generally listening to anything specific with the headphones? Or is it more about reducing outside noise and preventing overstimulation from that?
My sister does this, but with a toy on her finger that she spins with one hand, we call it her twiddle. She is nonverbal and has pretty bad coordination in general, but she spins this thing so fast it becomes a blur. People always try but no one can even get close to matching her speed, it’s pretty cool.
I was about to post an anecdote about my life (I did this so many times as a kid that even in adulthood I'd ride gyroscopes and walk right off afterwards) when I read your comment and it made me question a lot of things about my life.
Are you suggesting Reddit just diagnosed you as autistic?
There are other clues but I'd never considered one of my favorite childhood activities to have been a strong sign. Hell I used to dream about spinning around.
I like to spin and listen to music does that make me autistic?
Someone got the tism.
Got the moves
Lil bro’s gonna rizz em with the tism when he’s older
Rizzmatism
100% tism
You could see it in his face/eyes , I don't even know what I mean by that but I immediately thought autism when he walked by the camera like that. For all I know that's just what a dizzy kid looks like lol
Aww’Tis’them moves
Got that sizzle for the rizzle.
That Tism for the Rism.
So do I, it’s okay. At least he got cool coordination. I’ll raise you no eye contact, zero emotional intelligence, and one side of self sabotage.
No wonder some people are so good at dancing.
he’s a maniac 🎵 MAAAAANIAC 🎶
🎶and the ti-sm🎶
I threw up.
Does he not have inner ears?
Spins fast enough they just become outer ears.
You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner ear to... The Outer Limits
bro should join the Sufis
Bro just spun himself back in time
Just a genuine love for pageantry.
Sir-ha, ha-go back to your seat-ha.
It's no good diddlin' kids!
Little dudes footwork and balance is amazing. They also look like they are having a ball. Cheers.
Lil bro is acoustic
At this point, this lil bro declares himself as spinning top.
Probably autistic. They have superpowers
Just because they can draw good doesn't mean it's a superpower.
Draw well* You just mad because autistic kids can do things better than you.
You got me there.

I honestly found that to be impressively beautiful. He was so in the moment. I could watch him all day.
That kid is vibing hard
6am and already the boy ain’t right
When I was an autistic support teacher, I had a few kids that required spinning as part of their sensory diet. That was all typical for me but then it blew my mind when I hat an OT specialist tell me that it was important to spin them equally in both directions. I.e. if I spun a kid in our class swing 5 times clockwise I needed to do it 5 times counterclockwise.
Ok ill bite. Why was it important?
I’m not great at explaining, but here’s a good resource that explains it much better than I can. effects of spinning
Apparently that's only for if you don't get dizzy. That's the only time the article mentions that. They also say spinning while on your stomach is even better. Interesting. That's harder to do. Gotta have like a special stool for spinning. Or a tire swing or something lol
I love him 🥹
Whirling dervish.
Man, I got dizzy just looking at the foot work...so consistent for such a young kid
Bro is having the time of his life
I’m in the hospital with a concussion after hitting the wall.
This is peak music overlay. Watch, listen and learn class.
Well that's ASD if I ever saw it
Reckon I did that in the 90s.
The most impressive part was walking straight afterwards.
At my age it takes just a few much slower spins and I am horribly dizzy. It's not fun.
Not even rollercoasters 🎢 are fun anymore, due to headaches
That’s probably healthy :D
Next fkin level
My granddaughter can do that with no dizziness which is crazy to me.
Judging by the comments here maybe get her checked for autism?
Damn!
Little Bro is about it.
Song?
Bronski beat - small town boy
Future Deadhead right here
Impressive!
I miss being able to spin like that. Used to have so much fun at the carnivals. Now one ride with the kids and I'm done. Watching from the sidelines for the rest of the night.
Bro is a sufi mystic on the verge of enlightenment
He's ready for the Iron Lotus
i'm getting dizzy and a wobbly stomach just watching this. oh to be that young again.
His nickname from now on is Taz.
The first guy I see when I load into a match of CS
🤨
Walks into living room,,,,hurls lunch.
Que son especiales... son especiales
I would be upside down
Very cool
He’s obviously listening to ringa roses with 400 bpm blast beats.
I was watching this vid and this song from the nineties started up in my head the chorus goes :
"You spin me right round baby right round like a record baby right round, round." x3
Thats amazing
If I were to spin in a circle for that long it would ruin the rest of my day
Get that kid into dance, skating, idc, he’s got a skill.
He got faster and faster... Unbelievable and beautiful to watch. Maybe get him into dancing?
That's actually super impressive!!!!!
Well shoot, at least he's dancing to some sweet ass music!
Is he tho?
What's the name of this song?
I forgot to mention "Why". Play it loudly!!
Small town boy by Bronski Beat
Autism is wild, man.
Definitely on the spectrum
Tism be hittin
Sick, someone give him a knife now
I just wannaaaaa feeeel
Lil bro got that fire
Fuggin’ dance machine!
I’d have been dizzy after the first spin
He's going to be a fighter pilot
Ritalin
Kids got talent. I got dizzy and threw up all over myself just watching this.
That’s some bangin’ EDM that kid is listening to. Or it’s the Teletubbies theme song
You....uncultured....swine.
Since when does a famous 80's disco anthem equate to being just another EDM tune or the Teletubbies theme? Bronski Beat fuckin' slaps and this song a classic ;)
80's alt classic.
Look at that whirling dervish go! And not a hint of dizziness.
