@hollieteddyandremyx: Why do so many autistic children benefit from weighted blankets? It’s not just about being cosy — it’s about sensory regulation 🧠💛 Weighted blankets provide something called deep pressure stimulation, which can help: ✔️ Calm the nervous system ✔️ Reduce anxiety ✔️ Improve sleep quality ✔️ Increase body awareness ✔️ Support emotional regulation ✔️ Provide a sense of safety during overwhelm or meltdowns Always check the right weight for your child (usually 10% of their body weight) and consult an OT if unsure. #autism #autismawareness #autismacceptance #autismmum #senparentsoftiktok #sensory #sensorytools #sensoryprocessingdisorder #weightedblanket
