An autistic woman’s boyfriend reportedly does everything a fidget spinner can – and everything it can’t.

Ryan Wilkins, 33, allegedly has many excellent qualities or something, but most importantly he is a portable collection of pleasing surfaces and textures that are fun to play with, according to 31-year-old Navya Randhawa.

Randhawa said: “What’s not to love about Ryan? His hair is strokably soft, his chin is pleasingly scratchy, and you can also honk his nose like he’s a clown. Also he’s a great guy and I love him blah blah blah.”

“He’s like if an electric blanket and a weighted blanket had a baby that was marginally less likely to kill you in your sleep.”

Wilkins said: “Sorry, I can’t talk now. Navya’s about to use my lips, but not in any of the ways you might think.”
