[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 119091, member: 393"] I had weighted blankets here for the tweedles. I don't know much about the weight (Occupational Therapist (OT) ordered these for kt & wm). I can tell you the investment for wm was pretty much a waste. kt, on the other hand, utilized her blanket until she outgrew the need for it (& I'd had to replace it). It seemed to help her in her most anxious moments - she became aware of her boday & how she was reacting to things. What worked for wm was a compression vest (I believe it's called). Man, you put that vest on wm & he was a cool dude. He, many times, wore it under his shirt so people wouldn't see itl. As wm has gotten older, he's refused to utilize his vest. And we aren't going to order him another unless he wears it on a daily basis for an hour or so of quiet time. (Foster mum & I worked this out) Good luck in your choice. I know that this can work.
