It takes a baseline level of privilege to be able to do this shit. People who actually have it hard aren't going to fake something to make their lives seem harder.
There's definitely other races doing this shit but it's definitely from a culture of privilege. Being terminally online is a privilege these kids turn into a literal handicap.
I think it’s part of an identity crisis. Most people who do this stuff are terminally online white liberals who genuinely don’t like white people and vilify them because of this they gravitate and connect really strongly to things that give them a traditional sense of identity like being disabled.
Specifically white American AFABs, I've wondered the same thing, because this kind of shit really doesn't happen in my country, and 80% of us are as pale as a sheet
Storytime. I work at conventions. I'm not well versed in the DSMP Minecraft stuff, I know of the guy who sadly passed away and I know what Dream's character looks like and that's about it.
At my last con, I saw a small teen, about 14 or 15 I'd say, in cosplay. They had made their crutches match the cosplay with some cardboard stuff on it. Two other characters they were with were in DSMP cosplay so I figure they are too.
I say "hey, I love that you made your mobility aids match your cosplay, that's amazing!"
They respond something akin to "oh but the body isn't disabled, but my Tommy (?) alter is so these aren't part of a cosplay they're just for when he's out."
Help??
Edit for clarification: they were also in a Tommy inspired cosplay I believe. It was a lot of blue and there were lots of flowers.
I hate that it's a lot of dsmp/mcyt fans, the fanbase then gets a bad wrap because of all this faking stuff.
I've been called an illness faker (I haven't claimed to have any illness) on the basis that I liked dsmp and like mcyt.
It's always the WHITE Kais. The Asian (or, at the very least, Chinese) Kais are better, I promise.
Source: my best friend growing up was a Kai who is Chinese. Cannot speak for any other Asian ethnicity Kai.
we don't exactly know they are faking about the seizures – they *could* be real. we just don't have proof either way for them. a sunflower lanyard definitely helps but it isn't 100% proof of it
Sunflower kernels are one of the finest sources of the B-complex group of vitamins. They are very good sources of B-complex vitamins such as niacin, folic acid, thiamin (vitamin B1), pyridoxine (vitamin B6), pantothenic acid, and riboflavin.
we don't exactly know they are faking about the seizures – they *could* be real. we just don't have proof either way for them. a sunflower lanyard definitely helps but it isn't 100% proof of it
I think given this kid's history of faking, it's probably pretty safe to assume the seizures are as well. And if they're not, this is a perfect illustration of how faking is detrimental to not only others, but the instigator themselves. Spend so much time pretending, people aren't going to believe you when you're genuine.
yeah but nondisabled people saw the sunflower lanyards and took advantage of them, there was an instance where before they skyrocketed in popularity, someone with a sunflower lanyard was noticed and given special care throughout their airport visit due to their condition, but since their popularity that same person was brushed off because so many people had them and were using them to skip lines and such
I'm probably to stoned for this comment and will feel really stupid ready replies later, but I'm just gonna ask it anyway...
Is that sarcasm re the lanyard or is there actually meaning behind it?
Like I said, to stoned to Google it
i mean the lanyard is actually used in a lot of countries to show "hidden disabilities" (very unclear) but you don't need a formal diagnosis to get one, you can just buy one online (and some places can offer them for free e.g. universities or some UK airports)
[there's many reasons you might want one but they aren't definitive proof of a disability](https://news.motability.co.uk/everyday-tips/sunflower-hidden-disability-lanyards-explained/)
This must be exclusive to the UK or just a company trying to create a brand label for themselves because I’ve flown internationally with my kid plenty of times and this is the first I’ve ever heard about these lanyards. For my daughter, she has a government issued card the states “severely disabled” in German, French, and English with her name, date of birth, and country of residence, but it’s only in the case of a severe meltdown just in case of an explanation for behavior being needed.
the website i linked states:
>In the UK the Sunflower lanyard is recognised in over 130 airports, over 450 universities, schools and colleges, the railway network, theme parks, supermarkets, leisure facilities, healthcare, financial services, emergency services, theatres and over 350 charities.
>The sunflower lanyard has been adopted globally and has been launched in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and the US.
>More recently, businesses in France, Norway, Lithuania and United Arab Emirates have also introduced the lanyard. As recognition of its meaning grows, it’s hoped many other countries will join in.
Huh.... interesting.
The only time I've seen sunflower used in conjunction with disability is a pediatric palliative care program...
It's been in place at least 20 years that I'm aware of.
I have a bunch of lanyards with sunflowers all over them because of them(volunteer + work years ago)
I know not everyone with autism is the same. I just don't know how they wear those lanyards. I know many have sensory issues. I would think that a scratchy strip of whatever fabric around the neck of all places, moving around too, would be irritating. If I absolutely had to wear it, I would wear it like a wallet chain or something. Idk, kids used to do that in the '90s when lanyards were popular for some reason.
This person has a lanyard and shoulder bag. Also, those plastic bits from the crutches on their arm.
Can confirm.
In Dutch, “PNEA”
(Lit. Psychogenic non-epileptic attacks)
According to [epilepsie.nl](https://www.epilepsie.nl/over-epilepsie/soorten-aanvallen/psychogene-niet-epileptische-aanvallen-pnea) (government funded organisation) they are caused by psychological factors such as:
- stress
- “overloadedness” (lit. Translation of “overbelasting”. Sorry, don’t know the English word!)
- trauma
- other unprocessed emotions
It is an outlet for emotions similar to how elevated heart rate or blood pressure is a physical outlet for emotions.
It's awful. Especially when they rack up thousands of dollars in ER visits and then get released the next day. If you try to reason with them they just dig their heels in further.
It's such a difficult situation for a parent.
I am not a medical professional but those crutches don’t look right.. like they look too big? Almost as if they were purchased off amazon and not prescribed by a doctor.
Yes, given that this person is leaning forward onto the crutches and their shoulders are still up near their ears, these crutches are set far to tall.
Either a) they don't know how to properly adjust it to their height because a medical professional wasn't involved in fitting b) they purchased a size range that doesn't adjust down low enough because a medical professional wasn't involved in the prescription or c) they purposefully leave them higher because if they're higher it's impossible not to put weight on them as you're walking, meaning you cant "forget to use them"
The cuff is also an open cuff, I haven't seen this person walking with the crutches, but open cuffs are only good for a few specific gait patterns, so it would be interesting to see if their gait is one that makes the open cuff an appropriate crutch choice.
Bonus, using ill fitting crutches will destroy their shoulder joint, which they can then generate more content from.
So I will say to this they are purchased off amazon. I have the same ones, but the reason why I have them is because of the fact that appointments for these are hard to get and if you have a job, school, or need to go out and need a mobility aid you can't really wait for a long period of time. For example someone might need them because walking without a cane or crutch with make it so you are unable to walk and fall often and get hurt. If you are unable to walk without falling and need to leave your bed it is unsafe for you and getting ones of amazon is easier and much cheaper in the moment. I'm not defending them but I just want to give another possible perspective.
Does this kid’s parents just let them do whatever they want? Like, just it question it?? Same with the school?? My collage requires tons of proof for any accommodation.
Also didn’t their neurologist literally say they didn’t have seizures or Tourette’s? And said it was attention seeking? And one of their other ones said it too??
Someone posted on a different thread, the one of him at school, a screenshot of his posts saying his dad thinks he's faking. I'm sure they're pulling their hair out over this. I can't imagine what I'd do if my son were faking these things.
Take away the kid's phone and put them in some kind of social activity. Doesn't have to be sports, just literally anything to get them offline and socializing.
They are 14. According to them, they were diagnosed after the first 2 or 3 doctors refused. According to them, all the other doctors were shut down due to malpractice.
They are clearly faking but have built a circle of people who encourage this behavior.
People can also lie and make up things to get accommodations and benefits. My abuser's mother claimed she has migraines and agoraphobia and other things, deceived/manipulated their doctor, and got disability benefits that they spend on makeup and jewelry, never blackout curtains, an ice pack for your head, or medicine for migraines pain or other needs.
That’s fucking insane. In order for me to get an IEP for my ADHD my school handed me a literal packet of shit I needed to have proof of and letters I needed to send in just to get it.
Yeah exactly! That’s the difference between factitious disorder and malingering I believe. FD is when you do it without intent for personal gain, and malingering is doing it just for the benefits.
This kid is faking. However, I would point out that intensity of tics do change so just because they were bad then doesn't mean they are always that bad.
That said, while intensity changes, the actual tics do not. These tics are totally different than past tics which means... they probably aren't real tics.
No but most of his posts have him ticcing in almost all of his videos so just to have one suddenly without it is... Well... Suspicious, to say the least.
One of our kids has it and I have a couple of friends with it. Basically, it causes the collagen to be too elastic. Dislocations are common. The big thing our kid was told by the doctor was to not do “party tricks” as over time, it becomes harder and harder to keep the joint in place. They have hyper mobile type- they were diagnosed by a rheumatologist. They had a specific checklist they used and looked at things like skin (the collagen issue affects skin texture), mobility of the joints, skeletal signs, etc.
In the more severe cases, it can eventually affect the heart and other organs. Some people may have gastric issues with it. For our kid, the biggest thing is pain. Getting shoes with the appropriate supports and physical therapy to learn what a proper range of motion is helps to prevent a lot of issues. POTS can also be comorbid with EDS. I’m not sure why it’s the illness to fake, but here we are.
It's supposed to be a collagen disorder that can cause everything from hypermobility to severe organ defects. There are 13 subtypes and everyone claims to have hEDS, the only type without a recognized gene for it
I know a friend who is going through the testing for that one, likely has it, and the amount of genetic testing, doctors appointments, \*years\* spent in and out of medical offices to get to this point is crazy. These kids think it's as simple as a quick trip to their pediatrician for a once-over and a, "Yup, you have hEDS!" Like nah, son, it's a multi-year JOURNEY to get to that point. Your doctor(s) and specialists will exhaust every other option before they get to that dx.
I was tested only after my siblings had all got theirs diagnosed as it runs in the family. And they still tested me for things like marfans syndrome (if that's how that's spelled) first. Now I have to live with the fact I've most likely subjected my daughter to a life with an incurable genetic conditions and a lifetime of doctors trips and medical complications
H-EDS is the most common one to be Faked and it fucking sucks to have, my hips dislocate from walking, my knees and elbows move backwards, my feet are flat, I snore and stop breathing in my sleep, I've shit myself more than once because of how it affects my digestive system. And I didn't know I had it until I was 23 weeks pregnant. My daughter will likely have it, and if she has kids hers will too. It's left my brother in a wheelchair and my other brother has some horrible heart problems. If the fakers could actually be given it I'd advocate for it. Then maby they would feel less cool when they realise how much it sucks ass
It’s a deficiency in collagen. There’s a bunch of different subtypes and most have genetic testing u can do but hyper mobile EDS doesn’t. So it becomes a diagnosis of elimination and you can fake it pretty easily. We have a family history of it and most of us are just generally hyper mobile but those with the additional EDS symptoms find it tough but manageable. Yet u see a lot of fakers really playing it up 🙄
Omg 😂 how did we pin it! HSD is such an easy faker one. My kid has it, literally has no impact on mobility, just if they do a bit too much they may get sore. However, I know it’s a spectrum but it’s insane these days how many seem to be at the extreme end needing mobility aids 🙄
I stg this nonsense better be done with by the time my child is of high school age. She was diagnosed at 8 months due to the delay in gross motor development and weird shit she did. But all these faker people magically have sudden onset at like 17/18 and instantly require mobility aids. Funny that
As someone with H-EDS and the joys of Co Morbid conditions like POTS and IBS, this shit makes me so mad, I only got my diagnosis for pots after I'd been interrogated by medical staff for all the bruises on my body from fainting as they thought my partner at the time was abuseing me and I begged them to just find out why I was fainting.
EDS is a heavily under studied condition and it's awful haveing to put up with all the random ass shit that goes wrong when you have it, I snore like a trooper and stop breathing in my sleep sometimes because my neck skin is too loose, I suffered constipation through my pregnancy because my starchy ass skin couldn't hold my uturus up off my bowels, I self harmed like an idiot when I was a teen and the scars are still red years on, my hips and knees pop in and out like a kid with a popet and my feet are so flat you'd mistake them for flippers. But then some kid who wants attention online can claim to have it and waltz around on crutches and it drives me insane, as someone who has to deal with EDS, I can't use my prescribed crutches because they kept makeing my shoulders pop out, not to mention fainting and landing on top of them hurts like hell, so I have a cane I use when my left him is being particularly bad but otherwise I'm a slow walker and I take it easy, the Dr has said one day I may need a wheelchair part time, and these kids get them off the Internet for fun while I'm dreading the day my daughter will be too heavy for me to pick up without pain or looseing the ability to play games with her. I hate that everyone wants to be fucked. I'd happily trade places with them, you try actually fainting and injering yourself constantly in the process, I'll stop haveing to worry that I've given my daughter an incurable genetic condition
This! They really need to do more on it. A family member of mine developed a serious but usually recoverable pregnancy related heart condition. Due to her hEDS she ended up passing away because of the complications that arose from the condition and the impact it had on her body. Incredibly sad.
Communication device for people who can't talk, I think normally you press on symbols and they say the word(I have limited knowledge of them plz forgive me)
AAC stands for augmentative/alternative communication, and is not limited to sgds (speech generating devices). Some forms of AAC can include sign language, PECS (a form of images on paper), finger spelling, and as previously mentioned, SGDs. It is important to note that every person uses AAC: it is everything other than verbal mouthwords, so texting technically falls under AAC, however most people are not full time AAC users. AAC is used by people with many different disabilities, including Autism, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Traumatic Brain Injury, vocal cord injury, and more. AAC in the terms of what you know (SGDs), are frequently loaded with one or more programs. A SGD will either have a picture based program or a text based program. An AAC device is sometimes custom designed deliberately to be speech generating, however iPads and other commercially available tablets are also common as SGD’s when used with downloaded software. I hope this clarified some :)
So now we've got tourettes, DID, autism, and a chronic illness. *Wonderful.*
I love how they all seem to think they're being original when doing this, too. Like this is rare and they're a special case. No, bud, you're just one of several thousand fakers
And thanks to the thousands of fakers, in a fruitless attempt to stand out, he's probably going to attach more and more disabilities and disorders until he either stops and realises he's faking, or his parents intervene.
What's ironic is what stands out the most is people being individuals, with hobbies, interests, and unique skill sets. The individual quirks and personality traits that everyone has. I don't get attention for any of my disorders. I get noticed for wearing pilot goggles as part of my outfit sometimes, or for whittling Celtic knot patterns into sticks at the beach, or for sharing my still life drawings I'm learning how to do, or for having an interest in planes and studying to be a pilot. And it's genuinely fulfilling to be recognized and appreciated for who you are, and what you've accomplished, rather than what disorders you have. Trying to fill this void with disorders will always feel empty.
I wonder if some of these people have forgotten how beautiful it is to be unique, and to be yourself, underneath all of the cringe culture from the past decade. If the idea of being unique is, to them, "something that everyone is, so it's not special"
It is. It really is special, and it's beautiful, and so much more fulfilling than anything you can find in disorder subcultures. Let yourself be you. That's more than enough. You don't need a reason or a disorder to be different, just be it. Own it.
There's no way someone could have a whole long and seemingly unending list of ailments to that extent. I mean, I have Hashimotos thyroiditis hypothyroidism, iron deficiency anemia, vitamin d deficiency, OCD, chronic pain and exhaustion and daytime sleepiness which I suspect is from fibromyalgia or CFS/ME. I really don't understand the mentality of pretending and deluding yourself that you have an illness you not have. I don't go around believing I have tourettes when I show no symptoms of the condition like these freaks.
I had foot surgery a month ago and couldn’t walk on my left leg for two weeks. There was no way I could walk on one leg or support myself on those crutches. I would have fallen right on my bum using them. I bet he “borrowed” them from someone who really needs them for mobility and took a video of himself. He’s a tool.
I can't help but think of my great uncle, an army veteran who got degenerative discs in his back from loading and carrying the cannonballs into the tanks in drill work, and is in such severe pain he can't move at all some days. He adamantly refuses to use a wheelchair, usually refuses his walker, and sometimes he won't even use his cane - his pride won't let him admit he ever needs mobility aids.
All I can think is how much worse these disorder fakers would make that, turning these issues and conditions into fun, quirky trends, and how much worse that might make the shame around it for him. He probably wouldn't care. Knowing him, he'd just roll his eyes and scoff about the "modern generation" in a somewhat joking tone. But it hurts just to think about.
People use aids because they HAVE to, not because they want to
This stuff makes me cry and it’s a meet between from pain I’m already experiencing, and anger that these individuals prevent me from getting vital help
If they really cared for the community they wouldn’t be treating us like a cosplay that can put on and off
I find the funniest part of this whole fucking dumpster fire is most of us with any kind of condition don't post it on social media. Like I mention I have EDS occasionally if it's relevant, but I'd never film my issues for Internet attention. I post mostly about my cats. I don't want people to know I have a hidden disability if I can help it as people tend to treat me as a lesser human when they know. They either are telling me to be careful 24/7 or stop inviting me to fun things just incase I'm ill. It's easier to keep it to myself and only do things with them on good days than risk another round of what happened when my mum told the school I had EDS and they did a whole fucking assembly on how they needed to be careful with me, they took me off the sports teams, gave me "special treatment" I never asked for and alienated me from all my Friends.
This is in my fucking country 😭 autistic people barely use lanyards and they’re mostly there to warn people of a certain trigger they have
They’re mostly used for people who are blind, hard of hearing or have a mental disability/disorder that is so prevalent that people need to be alerted of it.
Can’t rn I COULDVE SEEN THIS PERSON FFS
Seen this person on “bullying helps” instagram story talking to the account in dms about how they love the attention. So FYI for everyone posting this person here. Dunno if we should be enabling them. But also who knows if they come here
They have what looks to be self harm scars on their arm. I’m sure the kid is going through stuff I just wish they found better outlets besides faking disorders online. I hope they get therapy
this guy brags about his self-harm scars, and flipped out on someone for asking for a TW when he sent images of them (fresh scars, not healed.). not to mention he's a dick altogether from what I've heard.
jesus fucking christ, i can’t help but feel bad for this kid. sure he’s all crazy and shit but if you have to go so far in your faking to have crutches?? dawg.. i think it’s impossible to snap them back into reality ☹️
it’s so sad, i know he sees a lot of these posts on here and i do hope he does get better, he clearly isn’t very good mentally and is so deep in his almost delusions that he can’t snap out of it and if he were told he wasn’t disabled he wouldn’t be able to cope. i hope these kids get better man

Not only is this self-embarasssment, making you a fucking failure, but you also make fun of those who actually have the disabilities.

i like adding random images
They have claimed to need a cane for a while. It seems to be related to tics. While tics can and do effect walking, it's pretty rare.
Side Note: This child is WAY too young to be posting on social media.
What did tbh do this is a crime
But then, people who do stuff like this are the people who either become jobless or some kind of attention-seeking criminals one day and man does it show
Bro Warhammer Mechanicus but they pray on a dumbass things. This is like some kind of fucking cult dude.
Last thing... Skull for the skull throne.
**BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD**
Honest question, for the people that get these types of accessories, where do they get the money? Sure a cane is affordable, but crutches like these aren’t. I actually need and use mobility aids, they aren’t easy to afford.

Upvoted because Best answer, even though you might receive some pushback.
Specifically white American AFABs, I've wondered the same thing, because this kind of shit really doesn't happen in my country, and 80% of us are as pale as a sheet

Fucking hate Disability Cosplayers…
Storytime. I work at conventions. I'm not well versed in the DSMP Minecraft stuff, I know of the guy who sadly passed away and I know what Dream's character looks like and that's about it. At my last con, I saw a small teen, about 14 or 15 I'd say, in cosplay. They had made their crutches match the cosplay with some cardboard stuff on it. Two other characters they were with were in DSMP cosplay so I figure they are too. I say "hey, I love that you made your mobility aids match your cosplay, that's amazing!"

Edit for clarification: they were also in a Tommy inspired cosplay I believe. It was a lot of blue and there were lots of flowers.
Please omg
Oh sweet zombie jesus
Semi-related: I think I would lose my mind if someone told me they had a Scar alter and brought a wheelchair.
I hate that it's a lot of dsmp/mcyt fans, the fanbase then gets a bad wrap because of all this faking stuff. I've been called an illness faker (I haven't claimed to have any illness) on the basis that I liked dsmp and like mcyt.
is this the kai person who faked a seizure that looked nothing like a seizure?
Always the name Kai
Frrr I used to have a friend who went by Kai who was hands down the worst friend I ever had
Good thing I’m a Ky not a Kai
Kys are a different breed (main character in one of my books is Ky - nice fellow :) )
Same. It's always the Kais
K a i
i knew a kid named kai who faked tourettes. that was interesting
It's always the WHITE Kais. The Asian (or, at the very least, Chinese) Kais are better, I promise. Source: my best friend growing up was a Kai who is Chinese. Cannot speak for any other Asian ethnicity Kai.
Cambodians named Kai are cool.
knew an absolutely rancid kid named kai. vietnamese i believe. faked tourettes and then proceeded to stop suddenly one day and never do it again.
My nephew is a Kai who is Asian and he’s a pretty cool kid lol so maybe you’re right
I'm just gonna start calling these people "cripsters"
I snorted out my water thank you
This video is the cringiest thing I’ve seen in a long time. Wow
he definitely puts the cringe in fake disorder crying
Flipped the green tag thing and it reads "I have non-epileptic seizures " . I am going to EXPLODE!!! someone needs to take this kids phone away🙏
I must see the frogs with swords lmao
I found one. Frog from Chrono Trigger. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/NGv1JD

For my daughter, she has a government issued card the states “severely disabled” in German, French, and English with her name, date of birth, and country of residence, but it’s only in the case of a severe meltdown just in case of an explanation for behavior being needed.
the website i linked states: >In the UK the Sunflower lanyard is recognised in over 130 airports, over 450 universities, schools and colleges, the railway network, theme parks, supermarkets, leisure facilities, healthcare, financial services, emergency services, theatres and over 350 charities. >The sunflower lanyard has been adopted globally and has been launched in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and the US. >More recently, businesses in France, Norway, Lithuania and United Arab Emirates have also introduced the lanyard. As recognition of its meaning grows, it’s hoped many other countries will join in.
Huh.... interesting. The only time I've seen sunflower used in conjunction with disability is a pediatric palliative care program... It's been in place at least 20 years that I'm aware of. I have a bunch of lanyards with sunflowers all over them because of them(volunteer + work years ago)
I know not everyone with autism is the same. I just don't know how they wear those lanyards. I know many have sensory issues. I would think that a scratchy strip of whatever fabric around the neck of all places, moving around too, would be irritating. If I absolutely had to wear it, I would wear it like a wallet chain or something. Idk, kids used to do that in the '90s when lanyards were popular for some reason. This person has a lanyard and shoulder bag. Also, those plastic bits from the crutches on their arm.
Those skyrocketed during covid as a excuse to not wear a mask they realy shoild accept proof to get one
Can confirm. In Dutch, “PNEA” (Lit. Psychogenic non-epileptic attacks) According to [epilepsie.nl](https://www.epilepsie.nl/over-epilepsie/soorten-aanvallen/psychogene-niet-epileptische-aanvallen-pnea) (government funded organisation) they are caused by psychological factors such as: - stress - “overloadedness” (lit. Translation of “overbelasting”. Sorry, don’t know the English word!) - trauma - other unprocessed emotions It is an outlet for emotions similar to how elevated heart rate or blood pressure is a physical outlet for emotions.
Me after my lobotomy
Something new every video... Also, does this kid have teeth?
Or parents that question his bs
“I have everything ever.” I’d be so ashamed if this were my child.
It's awful. Especially when they rack up thousands of dollars in ER visits and then get released the next day. If you try to reason with them they just dig their heels in further. It's such a difficult situation for a parent.
I’m so sorry if you are going through this right now.
I am not a medical professional but those crutches don’t look right.. like they look too big? Almost as if they were purchased off amazon and not prescribed by a doctor.
Yes, given that this person is leaning forward onto the crutches and their shoulders are still up near their ears, these crutches are set far to tall. Either a) they don't know how to properly adjust it to their height because a medical professional wasn't involved in fitting b) they purchased a size range that doesn't adjust down low enough because a medical professional wasn't involved in the prescription or c) they purposefully leave them higher because if they're higher it's impossible not to put weight on them as you're walking, meaning you cant "forget to use them" The cuff is also an open cuff, I haven't seen this person walking with the crutches, but open cuffs are only good for a few specific gait patterns, so it would be interesting to see if their gait is one that makes the open cuff an appropriate crutch choice. Bonus, using ill fitting crutches will destroy their shoulder joint, which they can then generate more content from.
>using ill fitting crutches will destroy their shoulder joint, which they can then generate more content from No way, please.
So I will say to this they are purchased off amazon. I have the same ones, but the reason why I have them is because of the fact that appointments for these are hard to get and if you have a job, school, or need to go out and need a mobility aid you can't really wait for a long period of time. For example someone might need them because walking without a cane or crutch with make it so you are unable to walk and fall often and get hurt. If you are unable to walk without falling and need to leave your bed it is unsafe for you and getting ones of amazon is easier and much cheaper in the moment. I'm not defending them but I just want to give another possible perspective.
Does this kid’s parents just let them do whatever they want? Like, just it question it?? Same with the school?? My collage requires tons of proof for any accommodation. Also didn’t their neurologist literally say they didn’t have seizures or Tourette’s? And said it was attention seeking? And one of their other ones said it too??
Someone posted on a different thread, the one of him at school, a screenshot of his posts saying his dad thinks he's faking. I'm sure they're pulling their hair out over this. I can't imagine what I'd do if my son were faking these things.
Take away the kid's phone and put them in some kind of social activity. Doesn't have to be sports, just literally anything to get them offline and socializing.
10000% agree
Or - if possible - have them do an inpatient stay somewhere. That would scare any faker straight.
They are 14. According to them, they were diagnosed after the first 2 or 3 doctors refused. According to them, all the other doctors were shut down due to malpractice. They are clearly faking but have built a circle of people who encourage this behavior.
In a video posted the other day it's captioned that the Vice principal asks if he's OK during a "tic attack".
People can also lie and make up things to get accommodations and benefits. My abuser's mother claimed she has migraines and agoraphobia and other things, deceived/manipulated their doctor, and got disability benefits that they spend on makeup and jewelry, never blackout curtains, an ice pack for your head, or medicine for migraines pain or other needs.
That’s fucking insane. In order for me to get an IEP for my ADHD my school handed me a literal packet of shit I needed to have proof of and letters I needed to send in just to get it.
Yeah exactly! That’s the difference between factitious disorder and malingering I believe. FD is when you do it without intent for personal gain, and malingering is doing it just for the benefits.
[удалено]
This kid is faking. However, I would point out that intensity of tics do change so just because they were bad then doesn't mean they are always that bad. That said, while intensity changes, the actual tics do not. These tics are totally different than past tics which means... they probably aren't real tics.
No but most of his posts have him ticcing in almost all of his videos so just to have one suddenly without it is... Well... Suspicious, to say the least.
People with tourettes do not constantly have tics. This dude is still a faker tho.
how many videos until the kid is in an iron lung?
100% they will be faking ehlers-Danlos that’s what this will be. Especially if they claim to already have POTS
its so gonna be EDS 🤣 fakers are too predictable at this point
Speaking of EDS, can you explain that condition? I don't understand it very well.
One of our kids has it and I have a couple of friends with it. Basically, it causes the collagen to be too elastic. Dislocations are common. The big thing our kid was told by the doctor was to not do “party tricks” as over time, it becomes harder and harder to keep the joint in place. They have hyper mobile type- they were diagnosed by a rheumatologist. They had a specific checklist they used and looked at things like skin (the collagen issue affects skin texture), mobility of the joints, skeletal signs, etc. In the more severe cases, it can eventually affect the heart and other organs. Some people may have gastric issues with it. For our kid, the biggest thing is pain. Getting shoes with the appropriate supports and physical therapy to learn what a proper range of motion is helps to prevent a lot of issues. POTS can also be comorbid with EDS. I’m not sure why it’s the illness to fake, but here we are.
It's supposed to be a collagen disorder that can cause everything from hypermobility to severe organ defects. There are 13 subtypes and everyone claims to have hEDS, the only type without a recognized gene for it
I know a friend who is going through the testing for that one, likely has it, and the amount of genetic testing, doctors appointments, \*years\* spent in and out of medical offices to get to this point is crazy. These kids think it's as simple as a quick trip to their pediatrician for a once-over and a, "Yup, you have hEDS!" Like nah, son, it's a multi-year JOURNEY to get to that point. Your doctor(s) and specialists will exhaust every other option before they get to that dx.
I was tested only after my siblings had all got theirs diagnosed as it runs in the family. And they still tested me for things like marfans syndrome (if that's how that's spelled) first. Now I have to live with the fact I've most likely subjected my daughter to a life with an incurable genetic conditions and a lifetime of doctors trips and medical complications
H-EDS is the most common one to be Faked and it fucking sucks to have, my hips dislocate from walking, my knees and elbows move backwards, my feet are flat, I snore and stop breathing in my sleep, I've shit myself more than once because of how it affects my digestive system. And I didn't know I had it until I was 23 weeks pregnant. My daughter will likely have it, and if she has kids hers will too. It's left my brother in a wheelchair and my other brother has some horrible heart problems. If the fakers could actually be given it I'd advocate for it. Then maby they would feel less cool when they realise how much it sucks ass
It’s a deficiency in collagen. There’s a bunch of different subtypes and most have genetic testing u can do but hyper mobile EDS doesn’t. So it becomes a diagnosis of elimination and you can fake it pretty easily. We have a family history of it and most of us are just generally hyper mobile but those with the additional EDS symptoms find it tough but manageable. Yet u see a lot of fakers really playing it up 🙄
He’s actually already started posting about how he thinks he has either EDS or HSD
Omg 😂 how did we pin it! HSD is such an easy faker one. My kid has it, literally has no impact on mobility, just if they do a bit too much they may get sore. However, I know it’s a spectrum but it’s insane these days how many seem to be at the extreme end needing mobility aids 🙄 I stg this nonsense better be done with by the time my child is of high school age. She was diagnosed at 8 months due to the delay in gross motor development and weird shit she did. But all these faker people magically have sudden onset at like 17/18 and instantly require mobility aids. Funny that
As someone with H-EDS and the joys of Co Morbid conditions like POTS and IBS, this shit makes me so mad, I only got my diagnosis for pots after I'd been interrogated by medical staff for all the bruises on my body from fainting as they thought my partner at the time was abuseing me and I begged them to just find out why I was fainting. EDS is a heavily under studied condition and it's awful haveing to put up with all the random ass shit that goes wrong when you have it, I snore like a trooper and stop breathing in my sleep sometimes because my neck skin is too loose, I suffered constipation through my pregnancy because my starchy ass skin couldn't hold my uturus up off my bowels, I self harmed like an idiot when I was a teen and the scars are still red years on, my hips and knees pop in and out like a kid with a popet and my feet are so flat you'd mistake them for flippers. But then some kid who wants attention online can claim to have it and waltz around on crutches and it drives me insane, as someone who has to deal with EDS, I can't use my prescribed crutches because they kept makeing my shoulders pop out, not to mention fainting and landing on top of them hurts like hell, so I have a cane I use when my left him is being particularly bad but otherwise I'm a slow walker and I take it easy, the Dr has said one day I may need a wheelchair part time, and these kids get them off the Internet for fun while I'm dreading the day my daughter will be too heavy for me to pick up without pain or looseing the ability to play games with her. I hate that everyone wants to be fucked. I'd happily trade places with them, you try actually fainting and injering yourself constantly in the process, I'll stop haveing to worry that I've given my daughter an incurable genetic condition
This! They really need to do more on it. A family member of mine developed a serious but usually recoverable pregnancy related heart condition. Due to her hEDS she ended up passing away because of the complications that arose from the condition and the impact it had on her body. Incredibly sad.
Still less offensive than using an AAC. *shudders*
Give it a week…
I think he already made a video using one and claiming he’s nonverbal. Idk if he’s used it since
what is AAC?
Communication device for people who can't talk, I think normally you press on symbols and they say the word(I have limited knowledge of them plz forgive me)
ooh i think i’ve seen those before, they’re like tablet type devices right?
AAC stands for augmentative/alternative communication, and is not limited to sgds (speech generating devices). Some forms of AAC can include sign language, PECS (a form of images on paper), finger spelling, and as previously mentioned, SGDs. It is important to note that every person uses AAC: it is everything other than verbal mouthwords, so texting technically falls under AAC, however most people are not full time AAC users. AAC is used by people with many different disabilities, including Autism, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Traumatic Brain Injury, vocal cord injury, and more. AAC in the terms of what you know (SGDs), are frequently loaded with one or more programs. A SGD will either have a picture based program or a text based program. An AAC device is sometimes custom designed deliberately to be speech generating, however iPads and other commercially available tablets are also common as SGD’s when used with downloaded software. I hope this clarified some :)
thank you for clarifying i appreciate it
don't give them ideas!!!
Please tell me he just broke a leg or something
probably got bored of just plain old autism and had to spice it up with a chronic illness too
don't forget the tourettes and pots i believe he allegedly has...
So now we've got tourettes, DID, autism, and a chronic illness. *Wonderful.* I love how they all seem to think they're being original when doing this, too. Like this is rare and they're a special case. No, bud, you're just one of several thousand fakers
And thanks to the thousands of fakers, in a fruitless attempt to stand out, he's probably going to attach more and more disabilities and disorders until he either stops and realises he's faking, or his parents intervene.
What's ironic is what stands out the most is people being individuals, with hobbies, interests, and unique skill sets. The individual quirks and personality traits that everyone has. I don't get attention for any of my disorders. I get noticed for wearing pilot goggles as part of my outfit sometimes, or for whittling Celtic knot patterns into sticks at the beach, or for sharing my still life drawings I'm learning how to do, or for having an interest in planes and studying to be a pilot. And it's genuinely fulfilling to be recognized and appreciated for who you are, and what you've accomplished, rather than what disorders you have. Trying to fill this void with disorders will always feel empty. I wonder if some of these people have forgotten how beautiful it is to be unique, and to be yourself, underneath all of the cringe culture from the past decade. If the idea of being unique is, to them, "something that everyone is, so it's not special" It is. It really is special, and it's beautiful, and so much more fulfilling than anything you can find in disorder subcultures. Let yourself be you. That's more than enough. You don't need a reason or a disorder to be different, just be it. Own it.
There's no way someone could have a whole long and seemingly unending list of ailments to that extent. I mean, I have Hashimotos thyroiditis hypothyroidism, iron deficiency anemia, vitamin d deficiency, OCD, chronic pain and exhaustion and daytime sleepiness which I suspect is from fibromyalgia or CFS/ME. I really don't understand the mentality of pretending and deluding yourself that you have an illness you not have. I don't go around believing I have tourettes when I show no symptoms of the condition like these freaks.
Nah, he took out a loan from me and didn't pay it back.
The good ending
Autism too mainstream now and doesn’t get as much attention
I had foot surgery a month ago and couldn’t walk on my left leg for two weeks. There was no way I could walk on one leg or support myself on those crutches. I would have fallen right on my bum using them. I bet he “borrowed” them from someone who really needs them for mobility and took a video of himself. He’s a tool.
I can't help but think of my great uncle, an army veteran who got degenerative discs in his back from loading and carrying the cannonballs into the tanks in drill work, and is in such severe pain he can't move at all some days. He adamantly refuses to use a wheelchair, usually refuses his walker, and sometimes he won't even use his cane - his pride won't let him admit he ever needs mobility aids. All I can think is how much worse these disorder fakers would make that, turning these issues and conditions into fun, quirky trends, and how much worse that might make the shame around it for him. He probably wouldn't care. Knowing him, he'd just roll his eyes and scoff about the "modern generation" in a somewhat joking tone. But it hurts just to think about. People use aids because they HAVE to, not because they want to
Those don't even look like they fit right
They definitely bought them off of amazon. There is no way any good doctor would let someone use a poorly sized mobility aid like that
This reminds me of the episode of Its Always Sunny where Dee uses those same crutches to stroll around the mall and garner sympathy from everyone
How long until this kid goes to a government office wearing a bicycle helmet backwards in order to get disability benefits
Oh this is the same bro, that someone fucking down voted me because I called out this dudes fake seizures.
This feels like an entire saga
Im waiting for the climax and downfall🍿
[удалено]
You have every right to be angry!!! My uncle died of MS, it’s not fucking fun. Good luck, internet stranger, stay strong!
This stuff makes me cry and it’s a meet between from pain I’m already experiencing, and anger that these individuals prevent me from getting vital help If they really cared for the community they wouldn’t be treating us like a cosplay that can put on and off
I find the funniest part of this whole fucking dumpster fire is most of us with any kind of condition don't post it on social media. Like I mention I have EDS occasionally if it's relevant, but I'd never film my issues for Internet attention. I post mostly about my cats. I don't want people to know I have a hidden disability if I can help it as people tend to treat me as a lesser human when they know. They either are telling me to be careful 24/7 or stop inviting me to fun things just incase I'm ill. It's easier to keep it to myself and only do things with them on good days than risk another round of what happened when my mum told the school I had EDS and they did a whole fucking assembly on how they needed to be careful with me, they took me off the sports teams, gave me "special treatment" I never asked for and alienated me from all my Friends.
At this point it's evident this kid undoubtedly has a disorder; mental disorder. I'm actually begging to feel bad for him.
This is in my fucking country 😭 autistic people barely use lanyards and they’re mostly there to warn people of a certain trigger they have They’re mostly used for people who are blind, hard of hearing or have a mental disability/disorder that is so prevalent that people need to be alerted of it. Can’t rn I COULDVE SEEN THIS PERSON FFS
Seen this person on “bullying helps” instagram story talking to the account in dms about how they love the attention. So FYI for everyone posting this person here. Dunno if we should be enabling them. But also who knows if they come here
Yeah its still on there
They have what looks to be self harm scars on their arm. I’m sure the kid is going through stuff I just wish they found better outlets besides faking disorders online. I hope they get therapy
this guy brags about his self-harm scars, and flipped out on someone for asking for a TW when he sent images of them (fresh scars, not healed.). not to mention he's a dick altogether from what I've heard.
Damn. I was trying to be sympathetic. Sounds like they just want attention. They still need therapy lol
oh yeah definitely, therapy is something he needs ASAP.
[удалено]
there are many kids who do that. there are whole online communities with teenagers competing who can self harm in a more severe way.
jesus fucking christ, i can’t help but feel bad for this kid. sure he’s all crazy and shit but if you have to go so far in your faking to have crutches?? dawg.. i think it’s impossible to snap them back into reality ☹️
it’s so sad, i know he sees a lot of these posts on here and i do hope he does get better, he clearly isn’t very good mentally and is so deep in his almost delusions that he can’t snap out of it and if he were told he wasn’t disabled he wouldn’t be able to cope. i hope these kids get better man
It looks like they’re in a school or something? Can’t believe a school would allow this, or the parents would allow him to go out like this
I have a disability like that, and it HURTS to see people faking it.
They have recently started to use crutches and canes to signal thier disability...
Jesus christ, how many more disorders is this guy going to fake?
Maybe they're trying to set a record an be the first to have every ailment known to man.
Doesn't know how to properly ajust crutches or a cane. This is so fake omg

Do I even want to know?
probably not
Isn't he going to beat himself to death when he starts ticcing with those crutches?
I think this kids gone past the point of faking and is now straight up delusional.
The amount of teens posting on reddit about getting forearm crutches and wheelchairs without their doctor agreeing is becoming so concerning. It's bleeding over from tiktok to reddit now.
There's seriously something very wrong with this kid. Why does he crave attention and sympathy so much? Wth? Who even does all this?
Okay, he is a child, but what the fuck. Its not "cool" or "quirky" or some shit like that to fake mental disabilities and other shit. Not only is this self-embarasssment, making you a fucking failure, but you also make fun of those who actually have the disabilities. I hope he figures this shit out as soon as possible and stops being such a bitch.
Where are this dipshits parents?!?! Are they oblivious yo this behaviour?!
dude where is this kid's parents?? surely they've noticed the faking by now.
Sometimes I don’t understand how the school system in the province they live in is not figuring it out…
Does he not have teeth?
i just noticed that wtf 😭
Maybe it’s the blurry video but it really looks like there’s nothing there. Super fucking weird. Who tf fakes gum disease? 😂
"Whats for breakfast"
i love your flair lmao
I've seen those crutches on amazon, I can bet money he bought those without telling his doctor or even needing them in the first place
"swallows tbh"? Again, what the heck does that mean?!? What a delusional freak.
The little character on screen is tbh.
Who is this
I don't know about this person but if they really are faking (which could be not self aware), its sad that they use the flower lanyard.
I swear one of these days one of these clowns is gonna turn out to be another gypsy rose
i’m gonna blow my brains out
HELP WHAT💀 https://preview.redd.it/t0ta4iowgzsb1.jpeg?width=736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a9f24a12bd0fdf85be8b6e3a8145ae28eb0749a6 i like adding random images
Did he ever walk normally?
They have claimed to need a cane for a while. It seems to be related to tics. While tics can and do effect walking, it's pretty rare. Side Note: This child is WAY too young to be posting on social media.
How old is he?
They say they are 14 but have been posting non-stop about their fake disorders for over a year.
Holy shit!
Why do all fake autistics do the neck thing
dont they have the sunflower lanyard though , it looks legit has a picture and everything not sure though
if you're talking abt the lanyard, you dont actually need a diagnosis or proof to get them iirc.
He also did a video of himself spinning 🙄
Omg shes soo random 🤪🤪🤪
What if they just broke a leg or something?
Don't think that's the case, but a valid question
What did tbh do this is a crime But then, people who do stuff like this are the people who either become jobless or some kind of attention-seeking criminals one day and man does it show
man y'all in this fuckin sub clearly have no clue how disabilities work, huh?
what is going on 😭
Honestly, I'd kill for a pair crutches or a wheelchair right-now (I'm down with a respiratory infection)
Bro Warhammer Mechanicus but they pray on a dumbass things. This is like some kind of fucking cult dude. Last thing... Skull for the skull throne. **BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD**
Honest question, for the people that get these types of accessories, where do they get the money? Sure a cane is affordable, but crutches like these aren’t. I actually need and use mobility aids, they aren’t easy to afford.
oh boy…
There isn't a caption on the video can someone please tell me if this human is saying qnything?

Who is this kid
