Our son has autism and it occured to us that he might enjoy a trampoline, seeing as he likes to seek out deep pressure in his leg joints.
He loves it, as you can see. He jumps and squeals.

  • My son was just diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome and someone suggested getting a trampoline. What's the connection? Is it more than anecdotal?

  • @2Quickforyoumx522 Some children on the autism spectrum enjoy 'deep pressure', which means pressure in their joints. It is calming and therapeutic. Like a massage, really. For our son, he jumps for the pressure he feels in his ankles, knees and hips. He also goes through stages of grinding his teeth (deep pressure in the jaw) and loves weighted blankets and vests.

  • I've watched all of your vids of your son and its scary how similar he is to my son, he even looks like him to a degree. My son (who's 3 1/2) also sounds, behaves and loves the jumping like your's. I've watched quite a few vids trying to find a child who sounds similar to mine and your son is by far the closest. I'd love to know how your son is doing and what method you're using to help his language. We're considering naturalistic methods at this time.
