As someone on the autism spectrum, I've been trying to mask my issues since I was about 5 or 6. Tiled public bathrooms have always felt too loud for me. I have tried earbuds and headphones, but it still feels difficult. I grew up with constipation and frequent accident. Today I don't have any accidents like I did back then but I still feel attached to the feeling of diapers because I didn't get the chance to wear back then. It feels really embarrassing and frustrating. I have been through times where I don't need to wear them for awhile and then one day I just get tired of trying to wait or remembering to go. I've tried those reminder apps but it gets almost too repetitive. Does anyone know what I'm going through?

I wanted to share this because I know a lot of us on here have anxiety and sensory issues. in 2019, I got a weighted plush for Christmas and I sleep with it in my bed every night, it helps me find rest so much and calms me a lot. For me I am very touch sensitive, and light touches really bother me. I love stuffies, but when they are too soft or too light it can be stressful. These guys are heavy and made of really good 'just soft enough' material. I got mine off etsy from a store that specializes in them; they make scented and unscented ones. For me I got unscented because the smell would irritate me. i had a few issues with the seams opening at the armpits but it was nothing I could not fix with a needle and thread and five minutes. it's held up remarkable well for all the love I have put it through. Mine is 8lbs and it cost 52 dollars and the shipping speed was reasonable. There are other stores and other places you can get them too, but i just wanted to share this wonderful product that makes me feel very happy and calm when I am in my little space at the thoughts that some of you might want to check it out! Hope I am posting this in the right place- I couldnt find a great spot for it. Please let me know if i'm in the wrong one and I will move it. Thanks! Bbbird
