Hey, thanks for reaching out with your question! Social cues can definitely be tricky. One tip I've found helpful is to observe body language and facial expressions, although I know that's easier said than done. Sometimes, asking for clarification in a casual way can also help, like 'Are you being sarcastic?' or 'Is that a joke?'
As for weighted blankets, many people in the autistic community find them really beneficial for sensory regulation and sleep quality. However, they can be a bit pricey. If you're unsure, maybe try a cheaper version first to see if it works for you.
Hope this helps! Feel free to ask more questions if you have any. 😊
