Frequently asked questions

This page addresses frequently asked questions about Daniel Larson.

Trolling

How can you get off on taunting a severely mentally disabled man?

The Daniel Larson Wiki is not directly involved in any trolling; it merely documents Daniel's life from a distance. The Daniel Larson Wiki actively condemns people who attempt to troll Daniel, and permanently bans users who are caught doing such. Additionally, Daniel is/was incredibly responsive to trolling, and has actively ignored advice from people telling him to stop engaging with those who wish to provoke him. While Daniel has definitely been manipulated and trolled into doing certain actions, it is not simply a case of people picking on someone who is defenseless.

Why don't you help Daniel?

Many people have tried and have accomplished absolutely nothing. Daniel has been offered help an innumerable amount of times and constantly wastes the resources of those who lend a helping hand to him. Regardless of how much you try, Daniel never listens. Daniel has managed to alienate anyone offering genuine help, favoring enablers and trolls instead. Daniel will not listen until you tell him what he wants to hear.

Was Daniel trolled into becoming homeless?

No. Daniel became homeless due to his inability to follow the basic rules of any housing situation he was put into. Daniel frequently damaged property, released his address, and constantly got into conflicts with his caretakers. While there is a possibility that Daniel was influenced in some way by trolls, it was ultimately his idea to live on the streets.

Was Daniel trolled into making threats?

Much like the answer above, no. Daniel made several threats against Bob, the police, and several other entities of his own volition. There is nothing to suggest that he was coerced into making these threats by bad actors. The blame for Daniel's arrest lies on Daniel himself.

Contact Daniel

What is Daniel's phone number?/Where is he currently located?

The Daniel Larson Wiki will never provide that information. This wiki was made by passive observers who choose to not make contact with Daniel in any way. To become part of the Larsonverse or any part of Daniel's life is one of the biggest mistakes you can make. It will never be worth it. Keep a safe distance and watch from afar. Any user found trying to contact, spread Daniel's personal information, or meet up with Daniel will be permanently banned for the protection of yourself and the encyclopedic nature of the wiki.

What is Daniel's current social media account?

All of Daniel's social media accounts can be found on the main page or here. Any account not listed on this wiki are not Daniel.

Health & Psychology

What is up with this guy?

Daniel, as of 2025, is afflicted with autism, schizophrenia, PTSD, and bipolar disorder. These disorders make it particularly hard to function; especially his schizophrenia, which causes Daniel to have frequent delusions.

Is Daniel really 26 years old?

Yes, Daniel is 26 years old. However, he looks significantly older than he actually is due to a combination of prolonged exposure to the sun, a poor diet, refusal to bathe, and constantly being disease-ridden.

Why does Daniel hit himself?/Why does Daniel have so many meltdowns?

Daniel has autism and several other mental illnesses. These issues cause him to be particularly bad at managing his emotions, particularly negative ones. When experiencing negative emotions or when put into a stressful situation, he externalizes how he feels and begins to self-harm.

Does Daniel drink or do drugs?

Daniel is known to drink, but any sort of non-prescription drug use done by him is unknown. Daniel has implied in posts on his YouTube community tab that he has participated in substance abuse, but this claim has yet to substantiated.

Sex

Has Daniel ever been raped?

Probably not. While there is a slight possibility of him being sexually abused in childhood, Daniel is known to constantly falsify stories of others sexually assaulting him. This initially began with Ryan, an old housemate of his, who Daniel claimed he was raped by. Daniel has also claimed to have been raped during his several stays in jail, but there is no proof of these events taking place.

Is Daniel a pedophile?

Yes, Daniel Larson is a pedophile. There is an innumerable amount of evidence of him saving pictures of underage girls, speaking inappropriately to people he believes to be minors, and filming children in public. It is fairly common for people to dismiss this, claiming that Daniel was manipulated into doing these actions, but this has been proven false several times.

Miscellaneous

Is Daniel dead?

As of October 2025, no. Fake death scandals and obituaries for Daniel are fairly common.

Was Daniel abused as a child?

Probably not. While Daniel definitely did suffer from some degree of neglect in his childhood, that on it's own does not prove that Daniel suffered any childhood physical or sexual abuse. Daniel's retellings about his treatment as a child vary significantly, as in one breath, he claims to have been abused, and in another, says that he was never abused. The simple answer is that we will never know for certain.

When will Daniel be released from jail?

We don't know. Daniel was arrested on several federal charges that could result in him being locked up for 60+ years, but due to him being deemed incompetent for trial several times, court proceedings surrounding his case were hindered. All we can do at the moment is to wait and see what the final verdict is when court proceedings come to an end.

Is Grace VanderWaal/The VanderWaal family aware of Daniel?

Yes, both Grace and her family are aware of Daniel. Tina VanderWaal, Grace's mother, as well as Grace's brother, have contacted Daniel on several occasions, demanding he cease talking about Grace. Grace has mentioned Daniel all but once, stating in a TikTok comment that he is a, "pedo that's haunted my life."
