Your thread is bad and you should feel bad.

I'm curious, what's a weighted blanket? Is it heavy or something?

As a mostly recovered aspie, I can see how that would help.

Sorry I have autism originally

>>37164233
From what I can tell, it's a really heavy blanket that's supposed to help you calm down during sperg attacks.

Does said blanket have heater pads in it? If so, I'm sold, Shill MacShillstein.

Idk if they make heated ones but they sound neat.

Just get a dog desu. Much nicer to talk to interact with.

I still live with my mom, who's allergic. I'd love a cute little pug.

I want a pig.

>tfw too hot for thick blankets
>tfw always summer

I have autism and I heard of those recently, but still not widely available enough and too expensive. It inevitable though that they will become mainstream soon like fidget spinners, at which point I'll buy one for $20

I think that's what I'll wait for. There's a Kickstarter for one right now but it's aimed at normies.

iv got HFA, i absolutely hate weighted blankets. They make me feel trapped.

What? I'm an aspie and don't have a clue what you're talking about. The hell are sperg attacks?

>>37163744
They're very comforting, they calm me down. I enjoy pressure stimuli and I even like feeling crushed. Some autists don't, though.

I suppose he means sensory overload, meltdowns and shutdowns, and perhaps daily, baseline anxiety or panic attacks due to autism-related problems.

>tfw no fat belly gf to lie on top of me

>>37163744
I have one. It helps tons.

GUYS ANSWER ME THIS
> Why autists can't look people um the eyes?

I really want to understand. As a very shy person, I have such difficulty but sometimes I can do it, like with my mother or someone really close.
Being shy sometimes I feel like threaned or smth, I don't know. But it is something I can surpass with time.

>Do you have autism?
Yes
>Have you ever tried one of those weighted blankets?
No, I just put two blankets over each other while cuddling my waifu.

Eye contact is not only intrusive/uncomfortable/too intense but also distracting and can be tiring.

I can't focus on what the other person is saying nor properly articulate my thoughts/words if I'm looking them in the eye at the same time. It's too much sensory input and I can't read "eye language", so it's pointless and unimportant anyway, doesn't come natural to me and regulating it is very difficult and exhausting.

I suspect I may have autism, but I do not want to be diagnosed.
