PHOTOS: Disneyland Releases Special Plush to Help Those with Anxiety, Autism, ADHD, and More

If you’re on the lookout for a comforting new friend, you’re in luck. Weighted plush of classic characters have arrived at Disneyland Resort. Each plush contains a removable 2.5-pound weighted pouch. Both children and adults often use weighted plush to combat anxiety, sensory disorders, and much more, but they are also just cute fuzzy toys.

  1. That’s so sweet!

    Of course it would be more sweet if they weren’t kicking families out of WDW when their autistic children couldn’t wear masks.

      • It would be sweet if the autistic kids would be allowed to wear hoorags. It’s a face covering. My autistic child who has sensory issues will only wear hoorags and not masks that wrap around the ears. Please be sensitive to autistic children. It’s not that they don’t want to follow rules.

  2. Hope they’ll either be available online or in Orlando. I’d love them to make a Tigger or Goofy one too. These are great.
