My daughter's favorite weighted blanket. It helps calm her and eases her anxiety. NOT FOR TODDLERS!!! Shes used them since age 5. You can increase the weight. 3lbs, 5lbs, and 10lbs. Its based on height and weight of child.

Soft, cozy, weighted friends! Great for self-soothing, anxiety, comfort, and sleep. They are affordable, decently big, and there are many to choose from! My daughter and I each have one!

I got this for my daughter who experiences random bursts of uncontrollable aggression, and lacks impulse control. This thing has been indestructible. She had an IPad as a gift and even with a screen protector and case, it only lasted a few days. Mean...

#1 sensory swing pick. I call it the cool down swing. It's VERY sturdy and easy to install. Ive had a teenager sit in it too. My daughter can also curl up in it and make a little cocoon.

This website has great sensory boxes, that are worth the price tag. My kiddo loves pirates. There are many themes and I suggest looking on Etsy for more themes and cheaper options.

This link is for a cheap, bulk order. You can get 4 packs at Target. I really dont recommend Walmarts because they simply arent good bubbles and targets are the same price. I suggest bulk if your kid/teen/yourself likes them because bubble lovers go ...

These helped my daughter sleep when she was younger or calm down in a quiet space when overwhelmed. She used to hate lots of light and liked being in darker rooms with little lights.

This is on the list because many people with autism dont like their food touching. This can be for school, work, or even at home. My kid doesnt like her food touching. I didn't either until adulthood.
