Now I get it. When I was an about 11 years old, Mum had these large, square, flat floor cushions. She stored them between the wall and a large cupboard. I used to enjoy squeezing in between those two cushions. Now I understand why that squashy spot felt so good.
its meant for people who experience extreme discomfort and anxiety when touched by other people, usually autistic people. im autistic and i hate touching other people because the texture and weight of other people makes me uncomfortable. objects are different, less sweaty. If you dont think this would work for you, then congrats you are a normal person, but for people like us who dont like touching people we need it. usually when something seems odd or unnecessary, its really just not meant for you and thats okay. pleas be more understanding next time
@@intensestare5027 I didn’t mean to be not understanding. If anything maybe inconsiderate and I apologize. I just wanted to encourage more hugging. Which can’t be a bad thing. Maybe don’t hug you more but for society in general we should hug more.
Im 29 and finding out Im autistic is quite overwhelming but validating. Haven't sat down to watch it in full but I've cried at the handful of clips I've watched everytime. My eyes my dry out completley if Im able to sit and focus through it,.
Shame on you. A woman more intelligent than you can comprehend designed this for herself and her own people, to help them with something that nothing else helps with.
I've got a lovely pet Boa. He calms my nervous system down ok (i am autistic) and he is an expert hug machine!! For emergency release, i nibble on his tail.
@undertheradar001 are you serious or joking? I hope you are serious, and I'd like to know more about the whole thing! The tail-nibble piqued my interest 😆
@@bildo99ify Serious. The tail nibble or mouthwash in his mouth would make him let go if he bit. He is also trained not to squeeze. He has never bitten. They are great animals to calm if they are used to humans. Boas are very forgiving and very gentle when they get socialized. If he wraps round, he will loosen if you relax. It is like getting a hug and a gentle massage. A Boa has a calming effect like a heavy blanket.
Thanks Mike, presently I'm not mobile due to car jacking. I once participated in a Bancroft's orientation with my ID #21926. I got disqualified because I missed the last lecture. If accepted back, do I have to restart? The orientation.
Right? Especially after reading the results from the recent randomized control Danmask-19 study (3000 people) showed little to no effect on prevention with mask wearing.
What is the cost? A few minutes with a mask. Possibly saving a human life or reducing suffering is worth that mild inconvenience to most decent people.
Especially after the studies of the last forty years showed little or no effect that masks play in protecting from contagion. If it helps you feel safer, go for it - but not all day as breathing your own waste back in does lead to health problems.
I would say for nonverbal people it’s important to provide ways of communication besides talking. Such as signing or aac technology. Going off of body language alone might not work very well.
