I mean this specifically for autism-related things. I'm IN LOVE with my LED light strips and wearing bullet ear muffs to bed. I don't know how I lived without them, I'm so much more comfortable and I really want more things to make life easier. They can be things that aren't products too like features on your computer, etc. Anything that makes your life 10000x easier.

I had to think hard about this. I guess sunglasses. They cut down on the visual over-stimulation that kept giving me migraines.

Autism related? Hmm..

Brought -- my currently tinted and definitely lighter weight graded glasses.
Less than a year old.

Same, sunglasses. I sat on my best pair but keep a stash.

Heavy wool blanket knitted by my aunt. I lost it when I moved house

I have gotten used to not sleeping with a heavy blanket, but I miss it.

Gifted and autism related? I'm not sure.

Bought on my own: My weighted blanket, my Wilbarger sensory brushes, and my pillow fort with coloured lights.
I also use special earplugs and velvety blindfolds for sleep.

I really need Irlen glasses but haven't bought any yet.

My first computer. It only understood BASIC, but it took the drudgery out of math and let me do engineering.

I'm not even joking, gummies. One of my friends sent me a bunch of gummy candy before I got one of those chewy stim toys, because he knew they were my favourite thing texture wise.

Flame less candles for my Christmas tree. I still have it up. I looked up German Christmas tree on YouTube and I saw videos with candle-lit trees. The rest is history.

I agree, a pillow fort with lights sounds amazing!

I'm obsessed with anything that glows or string lights etc. Mom bought me some glow paint, and glow sand you can add to concrete, plaster etc to make stuff with. Never been so excited :heart:

Also, been gifted many cool string lights and color changing/dimmable light bulbs with a remote. Those have helped so much. My photosensitivity is strong, so being able to dim every lamp in the house is amazing!

My active noise canceling headphones have been a huge help too.

54 cm Felt Tk2 an older model used.

Now riding a bike is almost as fun as skiing

oh, I thought it said gifted 'or' autism related, no far from a gift, they buying expierince was full craigslist gaslight and stuff fell apart cuz the guy was an idiot to the point of handing me a death trap, but after a few hundred more dollars its a great bike that fits like a glove, and has transformed me from a slightly awkward rider to a damn smooth cyclist in about 6 months. So what if I paid 900 for a 500 dollar bike that was a 250 dollar bike 2 weeks later..
