  • Hi - just a quick comment.  My son likes a very strong hug when upset and hugs back equally strongly.  It's a hug to get stress out of himself but also slightly to reassure himself that the other person is there for him to offer comfort.  He will use a weighted blanket but tends to reject it if very upset.  Have never heard before of compression/sexual fantasies so can't comment but am not angry about it being mentioned.
