Our daughter hasn't been diagnosed with ASD or anything like that but she seems to have issues with proprioception. We got this to have in our lounge (we were lucky to have a big sturdy beam in the ceiling to attach it to) so she could swing when listening to audiobooks or watching TV. It's been just about the most successful thing we've ever bought - it's been there for weeks now and she spends so much time in it, climbing in and out, swinging around, it gives her real comfort. Not only that but her friends think its amazing that she has a swing in the lounge and love to play in it too!When it arrived I was a bit disappointed - it's just a hoop of stretchy fabric and a couple of bits of rope, it seemed very overpriced for what you get. I had to buy a mounting bracket separately which added to the cost. I still think its overpriced, but the value we've got out of it more than justifies the cost to us.
