Around 9 years ago I was prescribed a weighed blanket with chains inside it, an enormous help to my sleep quality and even helpful daytime during stressful times. I have Aspergers.
Nice to see these become more common alternative to medication.
- Kaibeezy 7y agoThanks to you and OP for the reminder and encouragement. I’d been meaning to get one for my sleep-challenged Aspie.
- Zenbit_UX 7y agoI've only ever heard that term being used derogatoroly online, do you really use Aspie as a term of endearment towards your family member?
- Tyr42 7y agoMy sample size of one says yes.
- Kaibeezy 7y agoI've only ever seen or heard it used positively and even affectionately. If that's not usual, it's high time it be reappropriated.
- TheOperator 7y agoAspie is usually not considered derogatory... more casual and friendly. Some may not like the word but it doesn't have any sort of sinister connotation. I see pretty much every synonym for Autism or Aspergers being used derogatorily online.
