I've always done that Aspie/Autie thing where I wear excessive amounts of clothing and layers because my proprioceptive system is messed up and I need deep pressure. I've read about other Aspies/Auties that do this too. Is there a term, in the Aspie lexacon, for dressing like this? If not, let's create a term for it! Help me out here, peeps.

I'm NT, but even I have to have a heavy comforter on when I sleep at night. I may get hot, but I love that pressure of a heavy blanket.

That's one thing I like about winter. Being able to snuggle under some heavy blankets. I turn the heat off at night to avoid getting too hot.

I don't like being too hot, but I need alot of pressure. I use a comfort bag for my head and I sorta wedge myself up against buckwheat pillow. I also have several different pillows propped around me, but I don't like having my head very elevated and have a very flat memory foam pillow that I usually use, and I often end up with my head underneath it.
