That squeeze machine is like those blood pressure machines you see in drug stores.

Sweet! I'm out of my way to care for a spider, and it will be cherished.

my bunk bed does the same thing for me like her squeeze machine. I feel safe and I have nicer thoughts

@fz1844 nope. their wives are the ones that get the blame. there is refrigerator father theory. women get blamed, not men.

@karlsmith00 ...actually they are often blamed...but usually by their wives. :-)

Aah... im not Autistic and i think that machine would help me feel relaxed. :)

I'm like Temple. I like heavy blankets, and being squeezed, like between cushions of a couch. But I don't like most people to hug me, because I hate the stress that with most people there is always an undertone of some kind of thought or agenda I'm not on the same wavelength with. So people scare me. But deep pressure DOES feel lovely and relaxing.
But to say autism can be "cured" feels as offensive to me as saying lefthandedness can be cured. I'm not sick. I'm just different.

@gufniata Actually she said that while she wanted human hugs, "but it was too much overwhelming stimulation - I like it controlled". The machine works better for her b/c she can control it.

she's mimicing a hug with this machine..someone hug this woman

So she likes bondage?
i wonder if fathers were ever blamed for how children turned out? probably not.

@EgyptianPrinceCB While I think there's something to be said for not seeing her difficulties as part of her brilliance (although I do think it's fair to commend her way of dealing with them), the things you named seem pretty irrelevant to me. Especially the "putting on make-up" thing - something's quite wrong with a society that deems that necessary for fitting in, in my opinion (or the lack of it for men - but that's another matter).
