Grandson with autism
Hi..thank you for reading this.
My grandson is 3 years old and unofficially diagnosed with autism. His parents will be taking him to a specialist in Sept (the soonest they could get him in) for a barrage of testing & evaluation. In the meantime, they are doing what they can between childcare and independant reading.
Both my daughter and I read that weighted blankets or vests can be a great comfort or stress reducer to an autistic child, but they are so very expensive. Does anyone on here know of a place we can purchase these items from, at a decent price? Or have a comparable pattern from which I could make a blanket?
Again, thank you for reading this, and any info on these items is greatly appreciated!
