PART 3 OUT NOW: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oIqZlMmfp6XAabQ.html

Unfortunately autism and addiction are two things that don’t go well together. Addiction itself is hard without autism. I’ve met quite a few autistic people in recovery and almost all of them relapse really fast. It’s sad.

I have ASD and an Addictive Personality, and I can second this. I cannot have prescription painkillers and I have to be very careful about being around alcohol and other substances. I'm acutely aware that if I'm offered, I *will* take it and abuse it, even if I'm telling myself 'No' in the moment. My subconscious knows that I enjoy being intoxicated far more than I enjoy being sober and I will find some way to justify taking whatever I'm being offered. The solution is always therapy and a support system. Clean 2 years ❤

I’m gonna add some insight, as I knew this kid from high school. Josh was always extremely socially inept. He would walk away in the middle of conversations and didn’t understand that lots of people were making fun of him. He was on the track team and he would do all kinds of crazy shit. The team would run at Sunken Meadow State Park in King’s Park for practice. He was known to eat live crabs and worms off the beach/dirt on the track. He would also pee off the side of hills towards oncoming runners. As for World of T-Shirts, that’s a brand name he come up with. My school has programs for kids with disabilities to try and help them out in life. One of the activities was creating a business and selling products to students and teachers, which is where the name comes from. He actually sold t-shirts before he was famous. He began to blow up in 2020. He was top 3 in my school for followers on Tik Tok, behind my brother and some girl whose name I don’t remember. My brother had just under 420k followers at his peak and he was bringing in quite literally thousands of dollars a month in sponsorships. Josh got to talking to my brother about it. Josh was dead-set on passing him. Eventually, he did and he passed that girl too to become 1st place in the school. He became a bit of a celebrity in the school. We had an NCIS LA actress and an MLB player graduate from my school, so it wasn’t this crazy small-town thing. The adults didn’t know who he was. The thing about the janitor is true. He was a janitor at the school after he graduated. My school likes to hire former students, whether or not they have disabilities. Any information after that is public. As for the fish thing, that happened at a stream in Patchogue Village, by the Blue Point Brewery. People fish there pretty frequently when the weather permits it

I only shared one class with Josh my entire school career and it was in my senior year. A kid (Joe) I was friendly with liked to mess with Josh, since it was really easy. For example (this was a tech class), we built wooden catapults and had to launch plastic balls as far as possible. Joe would tell Josh he didn’t see his catapult launch the balls and that he must be lying. Josh would then say “I…I…I…Diiiiiiiid” like clockwork. I have videos from that class of some of the moments like that. I told Joe to stop a few times, as bullying a special needs kid is kinda fucked up

That clip of Quinn going “who gave Daniel Larson my address, I don’t need him showing up here!” Had me rolling

Alcohol probably makes him feel more “normal”. More outgoing and more social. I totally understand why he got stuck with drinking.. especially also when you think about how he grew up, without a mother, no father etc.. I just don’t understand that nobody is helping him. Nodbody seems to care.. :(

As someone who’s autistic I feel bad that he doesn’t have the best support system. Yes he’s over 21 and he can do what he wants but he needs to realize that his drinking problem will get him in huge trouble

Bro, literally bless you for sharing this. Sending as much positivity as possible you deserve mad subs fr

I met him before a concert at MSG on 8th ave. As a long islander now living in NYC, it breaks my heart to see how everyone is failing him when he needs help. It breaks my heart to see people laughing at him not with him. I hope things get better for him

Bro as soon as you said he was living on Long Island I was like oh my God that I saw the Ronkonkoma sign at LaGuardia and I legitimately screamed I’m very close to him

Quinn created a monster and now he's spiraling

Great video about a subject that hasn’t been covered to death. I hope you keep covering him!

i cried when the part about him swimming in the hudson came up, i live closeby and the hudson smells like death no one ever touches that shit

This whole situation is like gen z bumfights. Except nobody gets money.

I saw this dude on Reddit earlier today this video had me engaged the whole time and I’m caught up now you came in clutch man

Daniel was instigated into that fight with the Bodega owner. People basically told him to go fight him.

Loved this video. Short and to the point. Captured details I try to dump onto my friends to teach them about Josh and Daniel. Nice work

Great job on the video, it was super well made and I hope you keep it up and continue making quality content that I would say rivals much larger creators making similar content!

9:55 Not a miracle, public intoxication (from alcohol) is not illegal in New York state. The police can however take you into "protective custody" i.e. send you to the ER if you are too drunk in public.

I love this hard hitting journalism. "I dont know what happened but some people say this happened and that could probably be true and I believe it."

Got this recommended randomly and it's great. I've never heard of worldoftshirts but this was interesting. Subbed. Keep up the great work and I'm sure your channel will blow up! 👍

you can see him shaking when he doesn’t drink. it’s so sad and i really hope someone can help him. but then again it genuinely pisses me off when he starts saying how he lives paycheck to paycheck, like he isn’t E-panhandling on tiktok live EVERY DAY

to say that this "revamps" minecraft indev is putting it so lightly! you should be super proud of what you've made. here's to infdev+ :D

With a good support system this bloke would do good in life💔

Another folk on the spectrum here. Except this time, I was a case of "autism miracle". Diagnosed at 5 and have been through a lot ever since. From therapy to catch up with school. From bullying to designing characters as a "friend". No remorse from the bullies and no vengeance from the offended. All suffering was deserved and all hard work was paid off. A long story of what I've experienced and even longer for those around me. On my worst days, I've blamed autism for everything that happened. But thanks to years of learning, therapy & (importantly) discipline, they were only said inside my head. As an upcoming art teacher with a post-grad degree, I like to convince myself that I'm the "Chris Chan in an Asian family" and jokes aside, I also find Joshua & Daniel very interesting. Besides autism and the Lolcow Cinematic Universe, these two must be a quick answer to "what if" my childhood was different. No matter how I disliked it, mine was lavish compared to theirs. I had the intervention, the experience, the discipline, the hard work, ambition and hunger for knowledge and truth. And I did, even though my parents were poor back then. In a parallel universe, Daniel is a famous musician who've grown out of Grace and has finally found the sound of his very own. And Joshua will distract himself from doing crazy shit by training to become a professional athlete. This "what if" is sad, considering that even the slightest choice of education and parenting could determine what adults will those children become. The rule does not discriminate, on the spectrum or not, and I hope their stories will serve as warning to future parents like me.

I’ve been wishing Josh the best for a while. Hope he is stable, happy, and healthy for the future to come❤

You can’t tell me this isn’t Andy Dick

This is so odd to watch because I went to school with him. We shared a free period and everyone would try to be his friend while making fun of him. The teacher didnt seem to care much about this though. I stayed in that class for a bit but left eventually. I didnt really talk to him save for maybe once in gym but that was to get past him and a bunch of girls. I also remember the fish thing and people condemned him and stuff but I just figured the guy just needed help. I see him every now and then even though I graduated. Hope he gets the help he needs though.

Been waiting on this video for the longest time, I knew one would pop up eventually, thankd for making this 💪🙏

Well put together video ! I enjoy this kind of content ! Subbed, keep up the good work 👏

What about the video of him taking a shot at a bar, throwing up all over himself and in his drink, then washes it down with that drink. I’m afraid this will end in death if he doesn’t get the help he needs. Shame on Michael Quinn

this was a great vid! i’ve had so many questions about this guy for so long and you answered them all

Quinn got josh into drinking & paid for it. Months later now he’s finally realizing what he’s caused & trying to regulate josh when they hang out. Which then results in josh running out after & getting fucked up. Vegas will be wild

the crazy thing about the fish video is that's a spot I've fished at for years. I know the kid he didn't set him up. the person videoing silly caught a fish and recognized josh. he asked him if he wanted to release it and get a video of them doing it until josh did what he did

The bluegill stomp is when he really started going downhill

vomiting in public in europe isn't that weird...

this is very well made, i really enjoyed this

He graduated same year as me!!! It’s so sad to see him go down this way.

That fish thing was crazy, I was the one who recorded it. The explanation is long as hell but to make it short I caught a fish from that river and looked up and saw Josh, recognized him and said “wanna release this fish for my video” in his defense he didn’t really say yes but he put his hand out and I gave him the fish with the expectation of him releasing it and then I’d have a crazy video to show my friends, then he proceeded to do that. He kept saying the dirty pond wasn’t right so that could be why he killed the fish but I don’t know. I posted the video and it was up for a day and got removed.

I don't understand why or how nobody has taken Daniel and trained him in either boxing or boxing, Muay Thai & Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is beyond me. Lord Danderson beats the ever loving shit out of himself and smashes his head into things causing him injury, losing teeth and even breaking his nose many times and he doesn't go down. I've not seen him ever get rocked and drop and he hits himself pretty hard so while that would be an interesting thing in theory I think giving the Rand Rand Danderson Man that kinda training would put the public and people he freaks out on and threatens to hit during his _many_ public freakouts. I've seen others say that Daniel may meet his fate by attacking a stranger or a cop and being killed and I see that having a high probability because over the course of his life he's been homeless and in hospitals and he likes to try to be homeless to avoid the wards.

One of the problems with Josh is he doesnt face consequences. His disability gives him a free pass from any consequences most non disabled face.

thank you so much for covering this topic, great video!!

It will catch up to him sometime, maybe not to larson extent but i do fear the future is not bright

My theory is that Josh will probably stop drinking when he is forced to eaither by doctor's orders or a court order. He will not stop until that or he's forced to due to liver failure

You mentioned the tiktok of Josh calling out Daniel, but there’s a little lore that is pretty unknown about that. I know someone who pretended to be a company and got close with Josh. He then convinced Josh he was fired from the company and became his behind the scenes guy a little before Quinn came into the picture. He convinced him to call out Daniel larson to a boxing match, which really hyped up the whole Daniel vs Josh lore. He also convinced Josh to post some other stuff but then decided to cut contact with Josh.

whats funny is daniel larson followers had no idea why he was in nyc, and add to that the whole reason he got into a fight in the bodega is bcus ppl in a discord live call were telling him to start a fight with ppl, never referencing world of tshirts once, its super interesting

Very well put together, this video needs more views!

Modern day Chris Chan... Josh is just a lolcow and the internet enables it for him constantly buying him alcohol and other stuff.. he even just recently started a cameo and supposedly made 4k in the first 24hrs and that's probably gonna kill him having access to that kind of money as unhinged as he is

The fact that a young person with special needs is just straight up abusing alcohol constantly is so disheartening and sad to see

"He's autistic keep that in mind" "I don't know why he would do this"

Guy gets dealt a bad hand in life and falls to alcoholism, nothing new. He's an adult and needs to seek help, but if he doesn't wake up and do that and ends up being taken by alcoholism, then that's life.

Dude this video is super well made. Well done!

He’s with barstool sports now they can enable his addiction!

This is sad man, him mixing autism and alcoholism is really worrying

My father was a victim of alchoholism it's so sad to see another young person lost to it

Video summary: Autistic tik toker becomes an alcoholic

good video, pretty well put together for being a small channel but if we are being honest there should be no "documentary style" or "downfall style" videos made about josh until his wrath is finally and truly over. Every night he stoops to a new low, you would think something like the Hudson River incident or Casino Debacle would be the craziest thing that Josh could get himself into but just two nights ago he got into an altercation with multiple people on a train, which could have gotten him seriously hurt. And we haven't even made it to Vegas yet, so you do with that as you wish.

Bro a video this well made about THE king of New York? How is it under 10k views

wierd thing, but i had no idea Josh was this popular, or things had gotten as bad as they have. Were friends on TikTok and have been since before he was big- and its just crazy to me to see how he is now. because when i originally followed him and he followed me back he wasn't nearly as erratic as he is now. I only hope for the best for Josh.

I actually met josh before all of this it’s sad to see what happened

Booze is addicting for anyone much less someone on the autistic spectrum. I hope Josh finds a healthy passion or hobby to focus on other than Cameo, TikTok, and drinking. He's on a really bad path here especially with his condition.

We need an update on This man after the last few weeks man has really gone down hill with him running at people and "almost getting ran over"

I’ve never seen your pfp before and thought that was an anime boomhauer

Bro how do you miss the videos of Michael Quinn encouraging the fight between Josh and Daniel? Michael Quinn said he was going to fight Daniel Larson and stirred up a lot of the shit

Wait I looked it up and nothing came up What’s the Daniel Larson pencil incident

The banned joke probably is a stim of some sort for him but he's seemingly finished the joke in some videos/lives where he'll ask people who approach him what being b a n n e d on tinder means and they'll say he was banned and he goes "but i don't even have a guitar or drums". That's the joke..

Solution is TikTok to ban videos of people solely drinking alcohol or binge drinking.

it’s unfortunate because his followers most certainly have an impact on the trajectory of his life; most of them even enabling him to continue down this path. they’ve done it with many before him and it’s a shame that it continues to happen.

I think that Josh is binge drinking because he doesn't understand what addiction is. He sees all these advertisements and pictures of people drinking and partying and he sees these things and thinks "hey people like they drink and they're liked. So I should drink too. Then I'll be liked" I know this for a fact as I have known people like this. Sadly with autism and socially unaware people and booze are a deadly combination

As someone on the spectrum, we’ll said. My family has addiction issues, and my mother *drilled* into me this, and that if I ended up on something, get help. She taught me what addiction is and what it entails. She used to work in addiction clinics as a senior clerk (she works in a school now), and methadone clinics when I was small (she was reinterring the workforce), so she’s seen it all. I have as well, dealing with my abusive father and exes. I’m teaching my son, who’s also on the spectrum too, this as well.
