Adults and children with autism often seek pressure in a variety of ways to calm down and cope with sensory overload. Often, hugs and squeezes of others can cause distress more because autistic children or adults are often unable to communicate their needs by indicating a particular amount or the length of the pressure. It is frustrating and inefficient for the autistic person and anyone is hugging or squeezing them.
The hug machine was created to help revive this frustration, putting autistic people in control of their situation. Children and adults with autism sometimes have thirst for pressure to help calm anxiety. As a result, a woman with autism developed the hug machine, also known as hug box or a machine squeeze. The hug machine has two padded buffets connected near the bottom of the boards to form a V. form A lever to push the sideboards to create pressure. the lever also allows autistic or adult child the ability to control the amount and duration of pressure.
Studies are still underway to discover why those with autism respond to pressures and how it can produce a calming effect. The hug machine may affect the increased sensory perceptions of persons with autism who often feels painful or disruptive behaviour. By applying pressure, perhaps children with autism or adult moves its own to a single sense - pressure, which in turn produces a calming effect. Many children with autism and adults, anxiety can be completely incapacitating. It is frustrating not being able to function with the anxiety and if appropriate social behaviour is even more difficult. Sometimes, the release only for this anguish is pressure. To date, the hug machine is used by several programs and researchers who study autism and therapy programs.
Don't forget that the buddies or press an autistic child may not help him. In fact, you can increase their meaning and cause more anxiety. If you may not be able to buy a hug machine, you could create a similar object. Try wrapping autistic or adult children in coverage, where they can control how much pressure to be applied. You can also watch buying upholstered boards that simulate side panels of the machine of embrace more closely and perhaps tie or some heavy wires on each side to allow the child autistic or adult control how much pressure to apply and for how long band. Communicate with your child's school to see if there was no interest in buying a hug-machine community. It is perhaps not a cure for all the problems of your child, but it works well to help many autistic people deal with the world.
