Doesnt really say anything - there have been plenty of products that were designed for specific people that ended up being adopted by others because it just was a better product for them as well
Like how Coca Cola was originay created for people with a morphine addiction. Unless morphine addiction became a lot more widespread recently while I wasnt looking.
I used to take prescribed melatonin supplements and getting a weighted blanket to make myself feel all snuggly and cozy I was out like a light, like falling asleep even faster. I got off the melatonin cus I was able to fall asleep with the blanket and now I have one less med im the carefully balanced system that is my meds in my body
Whether it was placebo or conveniently timed of not needing meds or actually working I love my blanket
One friend said that he would occasionally forget it’s weighted when trying to move it, then completely wrench his arm out as he attempts to make the bed
I find it weird in that I barely notice the weight when using it, but it somehow magically gets heavier whenever I have to move it by hand / make the bed / etc.
That's the same thing my psychologist told me! I've asked her like 3-5 times if she's sure I'm autistic, and she has confirmed every time. I don't know though. What if I'm not autistic? Here are my relevant characteristics:
I use a weighted blanket
Sometimes my skin burns, and I have to shake about to feel better
I'm nearly always playing a drum beat in my head
A psychologist that specializes in autism assessments and treatment has confirmed it 3-5 times
My psychologist friends that have known me for 7 years are certain I'm autistic
They're great, the whole point is they give you extra weight of a comforter without additional heat. Cleaning is easy, you just take the cover off like a duvet and wash them.
I just use a sheet most of the time (even now in the winter) because I overheat easily (I don't really sweat).
I'm broke so even the bottom price of $35 seems expensive, anything marketed as "cooling" or just large-weave (?) is considerably more expensive. Large-weave seems like it'd be cooler, but that is coverless so that was my thinking.
