Some image I found when searching for deep pressure on duckduckgo. Never heard of the term before, buuuuuut seems interesting…
Also, from the same image, there is a hotdog
I used to do this as a child, alone…
And now I ask YOU, have you heard of this deep pressure term before? What are your experiences? (Now u be the entertainer! I’m done with pretending!)
I got literally diagnosed in first grade, so no, I’m not new to this.
I just never got introduced to these kinds of things. Now I too really want and need it. Didn’t do that blanket sausage thing in a loooooong while, like 10 years.
What’s the difference between deep touch and deep pressure? From online sites, I just see that deep thouch seems to be massaging?
To your last point: Posted something about somewhat similar recently, asking about peoples “comfort clothes” and me naming vests (surprise surprise) since I bought one very recently for the first time and liked working with it on a lot more than just plain tshirt at home (working as in coding, here my shid project i’m working on).
Sorry, I was just trying to relate this to autism in a silly way, no criticism or meanness intended.
I don’t know for sure, but personally I would say that deep touch is the opposite of soft touch (like grabbing someone’s hand vs lightly brushing against it), while deep pressure is about deliberately applying pressure deep in to the tissue (so yeah, like massaging, but also like a really heavy weighted blanket or the steamroller with a ball thing).
I must have missed your previous post, or not had the brain power to reply, good to see these conversations happening either way. 😊
