This seems to be a new trend to see if it helps calm kids (or adults) with autism. A friend asked me to do some internet research for her as she was thinking of making one for her grandson. I found this research article and shared it with her. She decided not to make the vest but didn't tell me why. I found this very interesting since my DH has Asperger's and it would be a blessing if he could manage to be still once in a while
