Hello everyone,

Does she want a weighted blanket? At 17 she might not take to it. I'm a sensory seeker, love being touched and cuddled so a nice weighted blanket is the best.

if she hates touch she might hate the weight of the blanket. 

What I also love is the giant hoodies you get just now. It's warm and soft and you can cover yourself with it to make a wee safe space. The material kind of deadens external noises too. As it's trendy she won't look too different if she's wearing one on online learning (if I'm in mine I'm in it for the day).

Yes, she does want a weighted blanket. She likes to feel pressure so to be hugged really tightly etc. I was also thinking about a giant hoodie, for myself as well, as they do see really lovely and soft.

They've become a bit of a fashion accessory. It's good in a way because it means we have more choice because NTs are buying them but bad because people think that because they have a weighted blanket they're autistic. It's like the sheldon Cooper effect all over again

Thank you i will have a look at them as well, it mind blowing the amount out there.

One of my weighted blankets is from the hoody company. It's good because it's soft, seam free on the blanket (some weighted blankets have seams where they sew in the beads) and didn't smell when it arrived.

down sides was that you only had a limited number of weights to choose from and a limited variety of colours too. I'm not "into" colours so I didn't mind. 

the brand was kuddli or some other horrific "cute" misspelling of the word cuddly
