I don’t usually do this kind of post, but a lot of us are on tight budgets with everything going on in the world, so I put together this quick blog post with some Neurodiverging-specific Amazon deals I found for Prime Day.

There are a lot of weighted blankets, ear defenders, sensory crafts, fidgets, and home OT equipment on super sale, so if you’ve been on the look out, please check them out below!

Prime Day only lasts through tomorrow, October 14th, so if you’re interested in any of these, check them out now!


Weighted Blankets, Lap Pads and Compression Sheets


Weighted lap pads are great for kids or adults who are soothed by some extra weight. Florensi’s Weighted Lap Pad for Kids is 20″ x 23″, and comes in weights of 3, 5, or 7lbs!

Regular Price: $34.90
➡️ Prime Price: $27.90

 

If your child has trouble relaxing into sleep, a weighted blanket might help! The MAXTID Weighted Blanket for Kids is 3lbs, perfect for kids between 30 – 60lbs. It comes in all different sizes for different beds.

Regular Price: $49.99
➡️ Prime Price: $39.99 

 

 

And, if you’re looking for a weighted blanket for an older teen or adult, the YnM Weighted Blanket is where it’s at! This is a 15lb weighted blanket and comes in a twin or full size! (I have a 15lb blanket for my bed and it helps me sooo much.)

Regular Price: $79.90
➡️ Prime Price: $39.15

Finally, if weight isn’t a good choice for you but you still have trouble falling asleep, a compression sheet might be the answer for you. The Florensi Compression Sheet is a kind of stretchy, sensory blanket that wraps around the bottom of the mattress and provides deep pressure, without the weight.

Regular Price: $27.99
➡️ Prime Price: $21.99


Stim Crafts for Everybody!

Everybody needs to stim. Maybe you have some birthdays coming up? Maybe you’re – gasp – looking for stocking stuffers already?

 

My daughter loves water beads. They’re great for a water table, a busy box, and sensory play of all kinds. These Rainbow Water Beads also come with 2 scoops and tweezers for early skill development!

I, personally, cannot handle the texture of slime, but it seems like I’m the only one! My kids love it, and so do their friends. Lucky for them, National Geographic’s Mega Slime Kit & Putty Lab includes 4 types of slime plus 4 types of putty, including magnetic putty, fluffy slime, and  glow-in-the-dark putty. Nice!

Price: $29.99

Products for Reducing Sensory Stimuli


If you have a light sensitivity or trouble sleeping at night, blackout curtains can be a savior. These NICETOWN 100% Blackout Curtain Panels are thermal insulated black liner curtains for the bedroom, reducing light, heat, and noice for better sleep.

If you need ear plugs for sleep, these Noise Canceling Sleep Earplugs are a better choice than the Eargasms above. These are made from soft, reusable, and moldable silicone, which means they’ll still fit if you have weird-shaped ears like me!

Regular Price: $9.97
➡️ Prime Price: $7.98

 

 


These are more than your basic ear defenders. The COWIN E7 PRO  Active Noise Cancelling Headphones are bluetooth headphones with a microphone, and battery life up to 30 hours! A great investment if you’re using your headphones a lot.

If you’re looking for basic, but good, ear protection for you OR your kids, I recommend these EAREST Protection Ear Muffs, which reduce noise really well, fold up for easy travel, and come with a little traveling pouch. Ours have been going strong for years.
