Instructions for calming sensory toy: STEP 1. Attempt to inflate toy until thoroughly exhausted. STEP 2. Take a long, soothing nap, thus achieving CALM. STEP 3. Repeat as needed.

Imagine one that was a whole circle and you could roll around in it like a hamster wheel

"this would be a different kind of content, eww" 😂 you always crack me up

You can literally replicate the feeling of this with a gaming chair and it's probably easier to set one of those up.

Next episode: Kaelynn holds a yard sale.

“We’re at the temporarily giving up stage of the activity”- genuinely the most relatable thing ever said

I would just get a rocking chair. I have 3. They can be had for pretty cheap if you get them used, and are amazing. Headphones, sunglasses, lap weighted blanket, maybe a candle, and whatever else you can do for stimming or sensory stuff is AMAZING.

Me... a gruff older guy when the doggo gave you sympathetic looks and tail thumps.... "Awwww I love that doggie....".

Kaelynn, you need an electric pump. It makes life easier.😂

We had one of these in the first autism classroom I worked in! Except that one was more colorful and had plastic balls inside it. Easiest way to make it work is to lay across the middle of it and roll back and forth. Also it is not immune to sharp objects and if it gets a hole in it you will NEVER find it. 🙃 Personally I always found the giant cocoon/boat/peapod thing in that room to be more relaxing/fun.

Haha the definitive "cool!" Gets me

I guess it works, after all that the only thing you feel is exhaustion.

You're so brilliant and educated. It would be Great to meet you and your family. ❤❤❤❤❤

You're definitely my favorite person on the internet. ❤😅 I feel we share a mutual struggle to exist 😂🎉

This is why you have a small air compressor on hand. That and flat tires.

You are so amazing, I love watching you content! Thank you for posting for us to see. :]

Watching this i could feel the stress of dealing with a stupid product in my body. It is such a pleassure to use things that are well-thought and well-made and everything goes smoothly as it should.

Love the effort. I usually have a great deal of patience and compassion, but as soon as something doesn't go as it is supposed to (according to me at least and im the responsible one), the gloves are off. Really nice to see Kaelynn being her wonderful self. Really inspiring and look forward to sharing this with my students.

I could definitely see myself using that as a pool float. 😂

Was the airpump the sensory toy? XD

I bet it would work great as a pool float

I had been looking at getting one of those from Amazon a while back for my 5 year old daughter. Did you enjoy it enough to recommend it? Thank you!😊

Love your vids :D my daughter has autism, and your videos are really helping me connect with her. I do wish I had someone with autism who could explain things to her on hand. Its so hard to answer her questions about the world with her vastly literal world view. Keep up the great work!

You are just freaking awesome we love you here ma'am keep it up can't wait for more

the finished product reminds me of these rocker seats my sister and i had at some point growing up. those were fun 😄

I love her sense of humor LOL She's so witty I'd be laughing my butt off with her 100% best friend material FR Also that does look like a glorified pool float...I'd probably still play with it but I'd pop it most likely because I also am "kinda large"

I took one look at this, remembered my experience with these types of beds. I would just get a normal child (or adult) rocking chair. I miss swings or swinging chairs/benches that are suspended by chains. Just a good breeze would be enough for a nice gentle rocking motion.

The dog's tail wagging when you had a short "giving up" moment ❤

Cue me walking out to my garage after 10 minutes to scream then remember I have a automatic air pump for situations like this but the noise is too noise

The dog: 👀 you’re really struggling with that huh?

This reminds that episode of the Odd Couple (1970-1975) were Felix got Oscar chair that was shaped like a Potato Chip, of course your is way cooler Kaelynn it looks like fun.

Not sure I could work on that for an hour and a half. I might have given up.

Literally me every time I try to put something together, including the pants comment 😂

"different kind of video"... had me on the floor.. 🤣🤣

Reminds me of a gaming chair we had in my family. That shape, but not s blow up thing. Think that shape but with the textures if an office chair

You are so full of life ... just reminds me how lonely I am 😂😂😂

I need a nap after watching all that hard work 😅

I want one of these so bad like indescribably bad

“We are at the Temporarily Giving Up stage of the activity” 😂😂

Great job!👏 😊

‘It looks the same’ ohhhh, had that feeling sooooo many times while inflating an air mattress 😂

I want to test this in a pool!

ah, there may have been a mistake! You see, this is what is known as an "infuriating sensory toy" /j

My dad built my brother an adult rocker with a weird gaming chair & a box base. It really stinks that 20 yrs later, it’s still hard to find tools for ASD adults.

My dogs a/o cats would pop that before I got it aired up. I'm going to stick to my C pillow that makes a great base for a bed nest. I am looking at getting a pluffle (human dog bed), but my service dog by choice would definitely steal it since he's huge

I feel so bad for you watching this because it seems like this is one of those situations of 'maybe if the set up of this thing hadn't been so tough and stressful that it resulted in me being already drained by the time it was ready to use then I would have actually enjoyed it more'.

I saw the giant pod for adults or two children. I wanted to try it for a while.

Fun!

Haha, I've made that mistake before. Trying to inflate a queen sized inflatable mattress with a hand pump -_- My mum bought me an air compressor that was only slightly more expensive than a hand pump (like AU$15), and it made SUCH a difference.

ozark trail hammock chairs are better than any rocking chair I've ever used, and perfect size for me to curl up in, even at 5'10 and 190 lbs 😅

That would make an awesome pool float though

def would be ideal in a pool for adult-sized people lol

I have the wooden version of that. It works. Because it's made of wood. And not inflatable.

I highly recommend trying a hammock instead. The style that can swing (ie, attached at two points; not four).

I remember inflatable furniture. It was the 90's. 😅 Also, I lived in a tiny room with a blow-up bed (more recently)... I don't recommended it if you value your back.

Id low key like to use that

FOR FUTURE REFRENCE: Get a trash bag and cut of a tiny corner. DUCT tape the nozzle to the bag. Done TO USE: Fill with air by opening the bag and the closing it while squeezing down. Probably faster than a pump

Suggestion: a gamer chair (the kind that sits on the floor) would be able to do this WITHOUT an hour and a half of trying to inflate it. Like, a gamer chair is literally that, but not inflatable.

I heard cold showers are good for dopamine boosts. But also I dont want to do that. Good job! ❤❤❤

I recommend a kneeling rocking chair. Way way more adult friendly. Not hard on my knees. And you can pop your feet onto the knee pads if you want to sit in a ball with your knees up and rock.

Cute

More testing of sensory tools please.

If I didn't know better I'd say the inflation stage is the real point of the exercise, just to exhaust the user.

Where'd you get this video of me trying to build flat pack furniture? /joke

I like your room and your black Labrador is awesome. I have a black 🐈‍⬛️ and her name is Meccho Schmitty🤗 K bye!

You should get one of those electric inflators.

Ok but now I wanna know if these are safe for the pool bc that looks way more comfy than the flat pool floats

Maybe you could use a blow dryer to prep that thing

Looks like it was exhausting 😂

How much money did you spend on the pool float?

I have an off topic question! Your dog looks like a lab, if they are, are they an english lab or an american lab? i have two english labs who look just like them!

I like that other people sit on floors by choice. Floors are superior sitting locations.

So this is what aly looks like

Well done!! That seemed like a silly designed way to inflate, with such a large tube end. I wouldn't blame yourself in the slightest

I could have brought over a air compressor

Happy Autistic Pride Day

I am autistic

Hey i know this is cliche and people say most days, but you are loved and God is for you always. ❤ God bless you❤❤

😂

Hi If you were asked about your opinion of the abdl community what would you say

Next time just buy a wobble board! They have them for adults to and they are made from wood.. don't use them when you have a sensitive proprioception.

If there was ever a movie about her, I think Brie Larson would be the perfect actress.

Try it in a pool

I don’t think the sensory aspect is the setup😅

That's not a pool float?

Shes adorable 🥰. I could be the strawberry farm guy 😜. But seriously she would brighten my everyday

I think you're cute. Just wanted you to know.

You should have bought a rechargeable air pump instead of using an bicycle pump!

I think I'll stick to a nice deep bath

Lick the sky. 😂😂😂

In regards to the pants... Just wear men's pants. They are more loose. And they are sized in inches because we don't screw around with gimmicky number systems.

So its a pool float but with an overinflated price to prey on people... Gotcha

I would not and could not handle this thing, that plastic stuff on the sides like when things make contact with it the sound it makes or how it sticks to the skin just sends me, idk what person invented this and labeled it as “calming”, like Johnson and Johnson saying no more tears in their shampoo for kids

that would be only fans content

"this would be a different kind of content, eww", hahaha. That was funny. Although, you could've just wore short. The "toy" seems like fun, but maybe a hammock would've been better.

Actual rocking chair for the win. 🤦🏾‍♀️

😂 "calming" Did you like it? Are you vestibular seeking?
