About Auticraft

Auticraft was founded by Caelyn, a young adult with developmental disabilities. As an autistic person with ADHD and PTSD, Caelyn struggled to find sensory tools that could regulate her nervous system and calm her down. She found comfort in weighted blankets, but felt that they weren't portable enough. She realized that weighted stuffed animals could provide sensory regulation through Deep Pressure Therapy, just like a weighted blanket, but easier to take on the go. Caelyn started making weighted stuffed animals in 2021 on Etsy as a way to give back to the neurodivergent community. Hundreds of adults and children alike have found safety, comfort, emotional support and sensory regulation in her weighted stuffed animals. Auticraft offers a wide variety of weighted plush, each one customized to your chosen weight. Each plush is meticulously hand weighted, hand stuffed and hand sewn shut for the ultimate sensory experience. Auticraft's weighted stuffed animals are the perfect sensory tool for therapists, teachers, parents, kids, and adults. The added weight can assist with conditions such as anxiety, autism, ADHD, dementia, Alzheimer's, PTSD, SPD, down syndrome, grief and stress. Each purchase of a weighted stuffed animal from Auticraft helps fund Caelyn's medical and living expenses, as well as training for her lifesaving service dog, Toby. We know that you will find lots of comfort and joy in our weighted plush! Thank you for supporting our small business!
