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.

      If I lived in Florida instead of Norway I’d want a wearable cooling-vest, though I wouldn’t dare to actually walk around in one. Maybe OP is braver.

      It could be heavy and tight, and make you far less hot.

      If it’s built into a tech wear jacket that looks good on him, maybe he could even get away with it?
