We’re going over sensory issues in adult-diagnosed autism therapy. The therapist suggested I find ways to feel squeezed/hugged. So far, I’ve intuitively been using:

  • a weighted blanket (I use blankets whenever I can)
  • a backpack with my laptop zipped up tight nearly everywhere I go

I can’t stand tight clothes, so that’s not going to be helpful.

Any other ideas?

I’ll note ideas up here as users comment.

    I love hoodies! But, right now it’s too hot in Florida to wear them. The a/c can’t even keep up :/

    And you’re right! I cannot stand rough clothes. I even get soft jeans,

      That’s tough then, maybe a stuffed animal as others have suggested, or something with sentimental value, like a metaphorical hug?
