My DGD has "sensory issues." At 2 she had a round pillow w/a face & ribbons looped all around. They were radiating like rays. I was supposed ta be a sun. She could not sleep without "Day." Those loops were called "Taggies." I think that they sell blankets & other things w/Taggies. She doesn't like things that are silky but does like velvety things. She doesn't like ta be touched unless she instigates it. She doesn't deal w/change very well either. She is 6 & they have learned how ta deal w/most o' her "issues." (I don't like that word but don't know any other way ta say it.) She likes the fleece blanket I made her. When she gets overwhelmed she will wrap up in it & it calms her down. I think a sensory quilt would be awesome. It would help him ta be able ta feel all kinds of textures. I recommend makin' the backing out o' whatever texture he likes the best. Taggies all around would be neat. Don't forgit textures that are opposite o' each other, like satin & denim.
