Autism Blankets

This is a relatively new idea-- that special blankets may help families of Autistic children get some needed sleep. These special children often sleep much better with a heavy blanket over them-- one that weighs about 10 - 15% of their body weight. The Thursday volunteers who meet at the local quilt shop have made 15 blankets for this cause. All will be filled with rolled up sheets. Ladies of Salem have donated the sheets and will be filling the blankets. A finished sample is shown in the photos.
