Hello all. I’m 33M Level 1 Autism. Ever since childhood, I need deep pressure around my upper body, specifically my left chest area where I can feel my pulse the hardest.

I have some coping strategies but I still need help. When I lie down on my hard floor, we have concrete floors with hardwood on top, it feels so nice.

The problem is I can’t just lie down in public or at work when I feel like I need deep pressure. When it used to get bad I would hold a 30lb dumbbell on my left chest area while lying on my back and it would feel amazing.

I need something more practical. The amount of pressure I need to feel baseline is a very large amount. I used to take a beta blocker and it would completely relieve the need for deep pressure, but now I’m off them and severely dysregulated. I would appreciate any help

Anyone have any of their adventures??

Anyone have these solo adventures?

Many Indiana families are raising concerns about the state’s transition from the LOCSI assessment to the new interRAI system for Medicaid waivers. Families of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are reporting service cuts and denials, despite being told that eligibility requirements have not changed.

For many Hoosiers, these waivers provide essential support that allows their loved ones to live safely and independently.

Families deserve transparency about how decisions are being made and reassurance that vulnerable people will not lose critical services because of changes in the assessment process.

If you or someone you know has been affected, contact your state representatives and share your story. Hoosiers with disabilities deserve to be heard.

Okay guys. Had horrible diarrhea since Monday night. Took an infectious diarrhea panel Thursday, and C Diff. Tested negative for everything. Guess that bug finally made its way to southern Indiana 😭
