And anxiety and depression!! Further research has showed it to be helpful with people that struggle with anxiety and depression. I have both, which is why I got mine. I actually saw a post on here about it years ago and looked it up. Now my brother has one and my mom (a counselor) recommended it to this kid’s mom (the kid has insomnia and something I can’t remember) and then later the mom told her that the kid had been sleeping better and was having some hella vivid dreams. The kid was finally getting REM sleep and went on to deep sleep
My son have one, not the original one but cheap copy, he doesn't like using it anymore, so I start using it whenever my anxiety is back, it actually works. @harmonywho Thanks for the link.
Yeah, I prefer heavier blankets too. Not because of a hugging sensation or anything, but it just feels more comfy, like the blanket itself is preventing you from turning around and thrashing in your sleep because of how heavy it is.
Is because they don't know any better, and not care enough to learn to know better. But that's just my opinion. Maybe I'm bias in this, but my son is not terrible. He's the light of my dark and gloomy world.
Cause my brother has it and honestly, it's horrible
Its hard to live with him, to teach him, to talk with him
Normal things aren't so normal and easy to him as they are to kids without autistsm
@rosalinas I know rosie.... I know. It's hard, stressful, mind consuming, and it drains your whole energy. But for me, I refuse to see the 'terrible' part of it. Because if I do, I'm afraid i would give up on him. Thankfully he's progressing and I like to think that's because I didn't give up. Sending you a virtual hug rosie. I hope things gets easier for you.
You're a better mother than me as a sister then
It's just I didn't sign up for this, no one does but here we are and it's so hard...
Thank you, I hope so too
Your a self centered little brat. That Autism mom might be nice but I won't be. For you to speak of your brother like that is terrible and disrespectful to your family. It's hard for YOU because you DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR IT???? Say what you posted infront of your mom and see how she's feels about your comments. I'll take my AUTISTIC CHILD ANY DAY over a ungrateful shit like you. I hope he pisses in your shoes and you put your feet in them soggy the next morning...
That's terrible
i didnt say it was hard for me bc i didnt sign up for this
i said it was hard simply bc it is
just accept the fact that taking care and looking after children with Autism is more challenging than doing the same with the kids that dont have Autism. it'd fact that tehy have trouble communicating and many more. its an disorder for god sake
and if he ever did such a thing, he will be punished
As someone with an Autism Spectrum Disorder myself, I take no offense to what @rosalinas said. I am a fairly high-functioning Autistic person and even then my parents still sometimes struggle to understand why I do what I do.
I know that my opinion is not shared by everyone, or even many people, but the way I see it she was simply stating facts. Nobody asks for an Autistic child or sibling, and that child or sibling will find many things more difficult than it is to the neurotypical. These are just simple facts, as is the fact that caring for an Autistic child is more difficult than a neurotypical one, as is the case with any disorder.
The fact that someone struggles with living with an Autistic person does not mark them as a terrible person, it just shows that they are indeed a person, with their own feelings and responses towards the bullshit that the universe has saddled them and the Autistic person with.
This is the original weighted blanket and that’s where my brother and I got ours from. I highly recommend it
Definitely not autistic
But I have this thick furr blanket that's pretty heavy and I can't to use it when the cold weather hits
Its hard to live with him, to teach him, to talk with him
Normal things aren't so normal and easy to him as they are to kids without autistsm
