Eric, 5 years old, NC |

Wish submitted by:

Eric was recently diagnosed with Autism. Eric communicates without words, but his twin brother and mother understand him well. He is gentle and curious about his surroundings. Eric has seen a lot of traumatic events and emotions around him. He loves playing with anything technology and gets excited while looking at picture books.

Eric is a young, energetic, nonverbal child on the autism spectrum who greatly benefits from sensory support. Due to his high activity level, he often seeks deep pressure and movement to help his body feel calm and regulated. The Giant/XL Sensory Pea Pod would provide him with a safe, soothing space that offers gentle compression and clearly defined boundaries, which are particularly helpful for autistic children. Its larger size allows Eric to grow with it over time and use it safely as his sensory needs evolve. Additionally, it can be shared with his brother, Ernesto, fostering positive interactions, comfort, and connection while supporting both children's needs in a calm and nurturing way.
