Spotted the stall for the #DiscoveryDrum at the #AutismEuropeCongress. It quickly became my go-to place for fast #Proprioceptive input. It is usually sold with toys to hide and find for kids (was designed by an #Autism class teacher), but I asked can I just buy the drum. They realised now there's an adult market, and I bought one for 100 euro. I cannot believe the instant proprioceptive & immediate calming I get ( i can get my whole lower arm in from elbow to hand). www.discoverydrum.com
@niamhgarvey I have always found plunging my arms into a sack of dried beans to feel amazing and very calming. This is the first I’ve had words to put to the experience.
I credit @alice for their excellent #autusm articles in helping to understand my brain.
