    Weighted blankets!

    I have one, I had it made by a local lady who makes them. She custom makes them based on your size and weight. It is quite heavy. I can't really explain how or why it works but it does. I have not had to use it during a melt-down as I haven't had one for quite some time, however I often use it...

    The Eye Contact Issue...

    For me I find it so intense it is like an emotionally painful thing. As though your very soul is laid bare and your every inner thought is on display and being read and ridiculed.

    Would that be like growing out of being Gay? Growing out of being Left-handed. Growing out of being human?

    Growing out of autism

    I was a primary teacher and could never abide exactly the behaviour you describe.

    "Safe Spaces"

    So I have watched this thread, and I have remained out of it. It seems unfair to me that I should allow these things to be stated, particularly in light of a further video being published by the OP, calling me a curebie and liar. First a little summary of the situation. In a facebook group...

    Growing out of autism

    Outgrow autism, piffle, that's like saying you outgrow yourself. I haven't looked at the links but it sounds decidedly like advertising for the ABA industry. The very fact that it calls only on those that observe the autistics is evidence in itself that it is not a serious study in reality but...
