@mamacita - will you share more about how weighted blankets or other weighted items are useful to you or others you know who have a diagnosis of autism?

Coming soon, to a Mayo Clinic Connect Site near you......pressure, painful body sensations, and how weighted vests and blankets help those on the Spectrum. Personal stories and research, techniques used in the school systems. Everything you ever wanted to know, but were afraid to ask

Talk to you soon!
Love and light,

@lisalucier From my experience, having a weighted blanket gives me a better and more restful sleep. It feels comforting and allows my mind to quiet down. The bigger drawback is finding the right combination that is weight without added heat.
