My students consist of boys who enjoy playing games and using energy. They need to have personal time in a dark quiet area. Children with autism generally feel off balance and the only way to feel like you're not about to drift away is to be squished tight. One reason those affected by autism feel this way is due to vestibular dysfunction. Seeing, hearing and touching is all part of the vestibular system. Dysfunctional vestibular systems can cause panic attacks, leading to the famous autism tantrums. The Cuddle Swing was suggested by our occupational therapist to help stimulate our autism child's vestibular system, and to give deep touch pressure.
