Should I buy a weight vest/blanket or wait?

Donegal Diva

My son is in the process of being diagnosed but last night had a very stressful outburst and at the end spontaneosly put a heavy blanket over him to settle him.  Wondered if I should bite the bullet and buy one or wait for diagnosis/advice etc.

Thoughts?

 

  • One data point does not a trend make.

    Or, in other words, you can't draw any conclusions from this one happening.

    However, it may be worth trying a heavy blanket again, if it works again, that's another data point.

    If it then works for a 3rd time you can start to be confident it is really having a soothing/comforting effect.

    However, be sure to think about and check on other things that may be providing the calming effect.
