What You Don't See
Most people that meet my son in passing say, “He doesn't seem autistic.” And those that know him personally were surprised to learn of his diagnosis.
Most of the time, he can hold it together in front of other people, out in public, at church or homeschool co-op classes. Most of the time, you might see a regular 9-year-old boy. But let me tell you what you DON'T see...

So if that means giving our "secret recipe" away, so be it! Besides, we know the work that goes into making a weighted blanket and we're confident there are people willing to pay us to do the dirty work. For the rest of you...here you are!
