A Weighted Blanket, Weighted Stuffed Animal, Weighted Shoulder Wrap or Weighted Lap Pad can help those with Autism or children learning to self-soothe. Uses include car rides, classrooms and areas where sitting can be challenging for an extended period of time.

A weighted blanket molds to your body like a warm hug. The pressure also helps relaxthe nervous system. It’s a totally safe and effective non-drug therapy for sleep andrelaxation naturally. Psychiatric, trauma, geriatric, and pediatric hospital units useweighted blankets to calm a patient’s anxiety and promote deep, restful sleep. In a similar way to swaddling comforting an infant, the weight and pressure on an adult provides comfort and relief.Weighted blankets are “weighted” with nylon poly pellets that are sewn into compartments throughout the blanket to keep the weight properly distributed. The weight of the blanket acts as deep touch therapy and acts on deep pressure touch receptors located all over your body. When these receptors are stimulated, the body relaxes and feels more grounded and safe, and clinical studies suggest that when deep pressure points are triggered they actually cause the brain to increase serotonin production.Fortunately, weighted blankets may be of some help in managing common manifestations of autism spectrum disorders. Weighted therapy blankets allow for something called deep pressuretouch stimulation, which in turn produces serotonin, a neurotransmitter thought to be very influential on mood (as well as appetite, sleep, memory and learning). Many parents find that draping a weighted blanket across the lap or shoulders of a child with autism helps him or her to feel more secure and stay calm throughout the day.Many parents also find that using weighted blankets for autism can help their children with sleep disruption at night. Sleep disturbances are extremely common for people of all ages withautism. These disturbances might include sleep latency (taking more than an hour to fall asleepafter the lights are out), getting fewer than seven hours of continuous sleep, or other strugglesto get restful sleep. Weighted therapy blankets can help children to fall asleep more quickly, stay asleep for longer, and get more restful sleep. The added weight sewn into our blankets stimulates the production of serotonin which, in turn, converts to melatonin, the hormone that tells the body to sleep. Serotonin, often prescribed tothose with anxiety, suppresses feelings of unease and boosts our mood. Then, as the melatonin level begins to increase, we feel tired and ready to fall asleep.Weighted Blankets have been reported to help with the following conditions:ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder)ADD / ADHDAggressive BehaviorsAgitationAlzheimer'sAnxiety DisorderAsperger's SyndromeBi-Polar DisorderCancer AnxietyCerebral PalsyChemo AnxietyDental AnxietyDown SyndromeFetal Alcohol SyndromeFibromyalgiaInsomniaMenopauseParkinson's DiseasePost-Traumatic Stress DisorderRestless Leg SyndromeRestless SleepRett's SyndromeSensory Processing DisorderTensionTourette's SyndromeIf NOT on the Autism Spectrum but still crave a medium amount of weight, consider a45" x 70" - 10 lb Blanket.Remember to never leave a small child unattended while using a weighted blanket, and make sure the child is strong enough to push the blanket off of his or her body if needed.If working with an OT, please consult with them on size and weight.And importantly, please keep in mind, that we are not medical professionals, and nothing on this site is a substitute for a consultation with qualified medical personnel.Representatives at Aunt Sandy's Sewing are not physicians or licensed therapists and do not intend to provide healthcare services, medical advice, treatment or diagnoses.
