The Gold Standard concerning the value of pressure on the nervous system is Templle Grandin. She invented the "Squeeze Machine" for use in the cattle industry
Just as infants are calmed and soothed by being swaddled, so do we feel soothed and comforted by steady, direct, overall pressure to our bodies. This is true for Neurotypicals as well as Neurodivergent individuals.
You can find this information easily on the internet. But there is a link that I can attach that speaks in her own words of the value of this type of protocol.
If you find it first and post it, you get a gold star from the teacher!
My days are filled with school, appointments, and trying to get my poor Hubby back on his feet. I will try to post as often as I can, here, and in the other sites on Mayo Clinic Connect.
Take care, loves. Talk to you soon.....

@mamacita, Thanks for reminding us about Temple Grandin. I just posted a remembrance on my FB page last week or so. There is also a movie that is quite memorable. I was living in Hawaii at the time and used to see the Boeing 747 airplanes being loaded with many pallets of 6 - 8 cattle in each. I knew they were from the Parker Ranch near Kamuela on the Big Island. And I knew that they came over on barges to Oahu. What I didn't grasp was that they were being flown to New Mexico to the slaughter facility. Mixed emotions with this one. Be healthy and content. Chris
