    I think it’s soothing for a lot of the rest of us but we either don’t know it at first or are too stubborn to admit it. I noticed when I got these thick kinda heavy hoodies. I love wearing em, but only works when it’s cold enough to not feel hot in em. I need to get a weighted blanket…

      I think that’s generally true. As with most brain things, autism is mostly just normal things except amplified to the point where it’s a problemtm. It’s why there’s so many “sensory” toys out there as well. Fidget cubes mostly started as an ADHD thing and now everyone has em.

        Only minus to weighted blankets is that after getting used to it, it’s even harder to get a good nights sleep in a hotel or especially a tent.
