he’s absolutely right I don’t need a weighted blanket i need to be put through one of these
Wait a hot second does the internet not know about human squeeze machines, they are basically exactly this but safe for humans, they are used for deep pressure therapy for people who find it grounding. Also sometimes called a hug machine they are a set of large foam rollers that you squeeze in-between and the tension on the rollers is enough to squish you a bit
hang on i need to look something up
holy shit
This is an invention of Dr. Temple Grandin’s! She came up with it after seeing cattle in squeeze chutes that were intended to calm them down, and (correctly) deduced that it would help her self-regulate as an Autistic person without the sensory and emotional overload that can come with hugging a human being.
And ngl, I want one.
