They are a toy and are helpful to kids with ADHD and Asperger's.
I had to learn with my grandson, who is an Aspie, that he actually focuses better when he is allowed to swing a leg, fidget with something, or even get up and walk around while he is memorizing something. When we study for an exam he paces.
It was his old occupational therapist that told me about letting him fidget with something.
I have similar behaviors as your friend.
But let's just play "Devil's Advocate"... You're advocating the use of fidget spinners as a therapeutic device to be practiced as medicine; just 200 years ago the Christian world would have called that witchcraft, and you could have burned at the stake for far less, no doubt. ADHD is seen as a mental illness, which most used to consider 'unclean spirits'... You're advocating that fidget spinners are a good tool to exorcise or appease unclean spirits. There are MANY cultures today who would see it the SAME WAY lol.
