AUTISM: "Hug machine" eases stress for children with autism

From the CEC Smart Brief:

Occupational therapist Michelle Whitacre finds a "hug machine," with its swing, padded wooden box and pressure-controlling joystick, calms children with autism. Used at about 10 centers nationwide, the machine was created by Temple Grandin, an autistic woman, to help her relax. WAVE3 TV (Louisville, KY) (08/31)
