    I'm thinking of thunder coats for dogs who get nervous when it rains or the wrap I bought my rescue dog to make her feel secure. I'm wondering if the idea for autism people came from this. It sure helped my pets, why not people.

    I've made two weighted blankets. For those, it's 10% of the person's body weight. Not sure about the vests. I have heard about them but haven't made one (yet).
