Are Rompa blankets any good?

[Yurtgirl]

I have a bright ds with aspergers who often needs what he calls "a big hug" ie full body hug - often while out in shops etc!

I am wondering if these are any good, worth the money etc. I am thinking one might be useful in his room to help calm him when he gets distressed.

What do you think?
Have any of you got one?

It wont link to the correct page!
Product no. 18412 or type blanket in the search box

Thanks in advance to you all

I don't have a rompa blanket, but I use a weighted blanket from Blankets-2-go to calm DS when he is distressed - he is 5 with AS. It was expensive but it definitely helps him. He now gets it himself when he is feeling overloaded. I have a smaller lap pad that I provided for school for the same purpose.

Thankyou for the suggestion widemouthfrog - blankets2go dont seem to be available on ebay atm for some reason

Im glad your ds finds his helpful!

Anyone else? mum23asd and jimjams???

Sorry Yurt, just realised its weight-2-go not blankets to go. I ordered mine directly from them rather than from ebay and then I could customise them. Try the linkwww.weight2goblankets.co.uk

Oooooh thanks for that Widemouthfrog I shall enjoy looking at that in a mo!

Im going to try one of these weighted blankets when I get some money through:

cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=2902703520 79

in case you cant get that link try ebay seller madetosew

I was recommended this by an Asperger forum.
There is also a website called dreamcatcher blankets which make the same sort of thing.
