Speaking of, my therapist suggested I seriously consider a weighted blanket or a Warmie weighted plushie, because it apparently really helps with my autism and anxiety.
When I get anxious, like really anxious, my heart rate increases and my hands start to shake.
When I get overwhelmed, I just want to be left alone, because I know if I don't get ahead of it before it escalates, that is going to lead to a full blown meltdown.
So, I guess I need to seriously consider weighted plushies and blankets.
