Dan and Arin Being ✨Very Neurodivergent✨ For

[@tyjuarez]

we stan an iconic ADD and OCD duo

[@Mithriya]

THE duo

[@razzthelemon.4400]

i somehow misread this as “iconic ADD and OCD couple” but your version works too i guess 😒

[@Atlasintokyo]

And then me the autistic love child of the two watching them bc I have all three of those diagnoses

[@plaguedoctorraccoon]

Autism comes with a lot of OCD like traits, and also a lot of ADHD like traits.......basically what im saying is if Dan and Arin fused they would make an autistic person thank you for coming to my ted talk

[@Squibbling]

@@plaguedoctorraccoon ...That explains so much- I'm diagnosed with autism and have been told multiple times by professionals that I show signs for ADHD and OCD (yet not enough to get the diagnosises). So yes I say this is absolutely true, they'd fuse together into an autistic person.

[@Axqu7227]

Oh my god lightbulb moment. This is why my autistic ass is drawn to ADD and OCD folks just as much as “own brand” neurodivergence. Totally forgot OCD as part of the ND realm

[@realtehen]

help I read autism as austin

[@TindraSan]

these all also has some overlap with BPD, it's all just one big neurospicy family :D

[@Lucifersfursona]

@@realtehensorry I can’t come in I have austin Listen today sucked let me have this

[@rareoddish]

I don't know about autism, but I know Dan has OCD and Arin of course has ADHD. As someone with both; I think I know one reason I've watched their misadventures since 2013 lmao

[@annceres1204]

I believe ADHD (and maybe OCD too?) also count as neurodivergent. Because it still means that you aren’t neurotypical or “brain normal”

[@rareoddish]

​@annceres1204 oh absolutely, I was just commenting on the little captions during the video. Both of the boys are neurodivergent I think Arin more obviously so, but Dan has his moments haha

[@annceres1204]

@@rareoddish gotcha 👍🏻

[@Acorn905]

Oh do they actually? I didn't know that :0

[@exist4046]

honestly not surprised that Dan has OCD knowing abt how he fucked around with drugs in his earlier years because goddamn can that be a tempting way to try to manage that sorta shit. i dunno what he does now to manage it but it seems to work pretty well so i hope it continues that way! i hope to find some better way to be treated for my problems myself

[@Squibbling]

Dan probably doesn't have autism... But as an autistic girl who loves dinosaurs, I resonate with him SO MUCH 😭💕

[@DeathnoteBB]

*gasp* Lamar… (from the NSP song about a date where he can’t focus)

[@acediaethos4469]

"spinning so that a thought might stay in his brain through centripetal force" is one of the funniest things i've read in a long time 😂 this whole video was amazing, more of this pleeeaaase ❤

[@ryvantiumm]

ah yes Dan's special interests: Dinosaurs and Rush

[@ripleydrawsandthings]

And music! :)

[@smeeeef]

As someone who is neurodivergent I can very much relate to the grumps behavior! It’s possibly the main reason why they are my favorite KZbinrs for sooo long! Thank you for making this btw

[@poprox2657]

SMEEEEFFFFF!!!! So real for this

[@salemfae]

Wild smeef spotted! 💖 Fr I put them on when my brain needs to chill tf out, blessed grumps

[@houdini9739]

smeef!!! same their random nonsense somehow calms down my brain noise

ADHD dingus here, I demand more. This was fantastigreat.

[@beanbbox]

Fantastigreat is my new favorite word Sincerely, a fellow ADHD dingus

[@snjert8406]

@@beanbbox a pleasure, fellow dingus :D

[@virgil2461]

my favorite ND moment from arin is when he is very clearly uncomfortable with anything touching his face but powers through for The Bit (lipgloss episode, drag queen episode, face care products episode)

[@Beebz29]

I knew there was a reason I resonated with these guys

[@basementdwellercosplay]

If they're is a sequel, you should include when they mess up reading a word or numbers for the dyslexic kids in the back

[@mr.memerman3655]

watching this makes me realize I am far more neurodivergent than I previously thought

[@PeopleAcct707]

"Either AudHD memes need to stop being so relatable or I need a diagnosis" - me for years (I don't have insurance)

[@DeathnoteBB]

Tbf a lot of this is also common for NT people, ND people just experience it more frequently and severely. That said I’m sure many people here are ND even if they don’t know it yet

[@kbmakes]

as An Autistic i really really like this video

[@Sleepyz_Crowz]

4:32 is so funny to me cause i have ADHD and i looked directly into the sun about 3 seconds prior

[@stacia2016]

4:15 Omigosh, that's hilarious 😂 You're so right, that's EXACTLY what's happening

[@xXx_Nikki_Slaughter_xXx]

They just like me fr

[@lillisubs47]

OMG this is the funniest game grumps compilation i have ever seen!!! As someone with autism i TOTALLY relate! :D Please make more of these compilations!

[@ripleydrawsandthings]

I actually posted another one not long ago, if you want, as well as a Bluey one (about to upload it now).

[@moths_bones]

Im so glad this reached the right audience of neurodivergents 😊

[@thegaynaika]

God thank you I’ve been waiting to find a comp like this Stg these two men can be so nd and it kills me when it seems like I’m the only one who notices If you ever decided to do another comp with regular gg videos, or even just more power hour stuff I would love that sm

[@ripleydrawsandthings]

I’m definitely going to do more Power Hour stuff! The clips are a lot easier to find, since the episodes are much shorter. If I ever do a regular GG compilation, I might look through already existing compilations first clips. 😊

[@cookiesyruplover]

This is so good! Very curated too! I love the witty little captions, really adds to the hilarity. Case in point: -this would be my 14th reason -spinning so that a thought might stay in his brain through centripetal force Also 3:25 -me trying to bring up a conversation point from fourteen subjects ago~ is so relatable!!!! When a conversation moves along but my brain is still cooking on that past topic, I'm not gonna be able to let it go. I think this is why I prefer typing over talking. Being able to reread things I missed and be as detailed as possible in my response is so much easier.

[@garymcginnis8511]

Ive recently discivered the possibility of undiagnosed autism in myself and the fact i have always gravitated to neurodivergent-coded people and things makes SO MUCH SENSE

[@Mr.Smallziez]

this is my type of divergence

[@tahrey]

This is sending my neuroscope wild, particularly with the shaky leg of all things. I feel like we could have a fun time just hanging out in a room with a couch, some props and craft supplies, and a few beers, and that's not a feeling that I get often from popular media folks.

[@seichysweetpie3781]

OMFG the last one killed me 🤣 That's me EVERYTIME I have to follow instructions

[@Snuzzled]

I still love how I the first clip Arin is all "No Dan don't goddamn it!" but he still cares enough to make sure he puts down Dan's cup that he initially picked up. 🥺

[@pinkdruid2347]

I’ve been watching KZbin videos since the early 2000s. Over time I’ve realized almost all of the KZbinrs I like most are neurodivergent. I’ve also realized over time there might be a reason for that… …I have adhd and autism.

[@jesuisege]

this compilation is my first introduction to these people... AND I AM A FAN

[@octolingo1892]

I’ve never watched these guys but this came up in my recommended so I’m gonna watch it lmao

[@southparkfirefly]

You should they're awesome, Game Grumps is their gaming channel but The Grumps is where all these clips came from.

[@KyoSohma2211]

As someone with ADHD and OCD, I relate to both of them so much lol

[@marcykiger9899]

I love being Dan and Arin in one human body

[@JayTohab]

The commentary is peek, thank you

[@jennifertheiss7836]

0:30 and they try to tell us Arin doesn't smoke oui'd 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ripleydrawsandthings]

He was either high or thinking…and honestly, I couldn’t tell you.

[@averynelson1186]

Like, I knew that I am sensory-seeking with food. But somehow I did not put it together that Arin was sensory-seeking with food also until you laid it out like this 😂

[@TindraSan]

ok but now I'm just imagining you playing some sort of wind instrument then subconsciously shaking your leg and the music goes all wobbly XDDDD

[@ripleydrawsandthings]

I actually played the ukulele! So, when it was sitting on my shaking leg, I wouldn’t be able to play. 😆 Same happened when I briefly played the violin.

[@oliviabarbara6830]

“nah its-a fine”

1:15 I WHEEZED BC I KNOW THE IMAGE😭 Edit: op are we the same person😭😭

[@noyd4172]

ah yes, a fellow Wikipedia enjoyer

[@risxra]

@@noyd4172 you joke but I legit use Wikipedia as my primary search engine lmao

[@ripleydrawsandthings]

That is one of my favorite images, because that was 100% me as a kid. I used to line up and sort my LPS, play with them for, like, fifteen minutes, and then put them away.

[@GBfanatic15]

Dan: boy there is nothing you will not put in your mouth is there? me: me and Arin seem to have a lot in common XD

[@DizzyEyes94]

More of this P L E A S E

[@ripleydrawsandthings]

Coming right up! I’m currently trying to find some suggested clips. :)

[@DespiteEverything42]

3:40 me when.. friends are talking and i had a joke from lkke 2 minutes ago i forgot to share at the time it would make sense BUT I cannot just let it go

[@ripleydrawsandthings]

And I usually bring it up with no context, which means they are super confused about what I’m talking about.

[@Morirs6]

no because as someone with OCD and ADD i can’t tell if im arin or dan from time to time 😭😭

[@christianlarsen1168]

Any1 got a discord i can join? i feel like we would get along if you like this vid lol

[@DeathnoteBB]

1:01 Which Power Hour was this? I either forgot it or it’s a recent one I haven’t caught up to

[@ThatOneIsAwesome]

It’s a fairly recent one, about tinned fish 🐟

[@DeathnoteBB]

@@ThatOneIsAwesome Oh thanks!

[@mtsmcr]

am i... neurodivergent?

[@ripleydrawsandthings]

Mayhaps. :) Although, I will tell you that it’s not the symptoms, but the frequency and severity that matters. A lot of people hate loud noises or have trouble focusing without being ND…but is it to the point you need to wear headphones or can you never get anything done?

[@TheMutantCreeper]

I forgot Dan had (has?) OCD. I’m assuming he has it way more under control now but I wouldn’t doubt some traits still exist.

[@cosmicalist]

You never "cure" OCD or similar types of disorders, you just learn to control them with time, therapy, and medication if necessary

[@virgil2461]

​@@cosmicalist I assume that's what they meant by "under control", that makes it sound more like "maintained" than "cured" imo

[@dimensionalMystery]

1:15 let's not "headcanon" a real person as autistic if they haven't stated it. he has OCD, stacking things is a common trait of that too

[@ripleydrawsandthings]

Ah, that’s true! I’m very sorry…in the future, I’ll say that I personally relate to some of his actions, but that Dan himself doesn’t have autism! The picture was just so similar to him stacking the paint that I thought it would be funny.

[@dimensionalMystery]

@@ripleydrawsandthings no problem! i hope i didn't upset you, i forgot my tone tag (it was supposed to be "/nm")!
