The link between tight clothing and anxiety?

Post Reply New Topic

I did some research and apparently wearing tight clothing can symptoms of anxiety.

Do you think that's true or not?

Explain why many people with autism derive comfort from restrictive weighted blankets.

Some people experience anxiety because of difficulty with proprioception. They don't get enough feedback from their senses to properly understand where they are positioned in space, so they feel unsafe. Tight clothing and weighted blankets and things of that ilk are bit like turning up the volume on senses so you can get that safe feeling. My daughter likes to do her shoes up so tight that she often breaks the fasteners. If she doesn't she feels like she's going to fall out of them.
