Temple Grandin states: "Some hyperactive autistic children, who fidget all the time, often will be calmer if they are given a padded weighted vest to wear. Pressure from the garment helps to calm the nervous system...For best results, the vest should be worn for 20 minutes and then taken off for a few minutes. This prevents the nervous system from adapting to it." (From: Teaching Tips for Children and Adults with Autism, Revised July 4, 1996)
