In my childhood my grandma used to take me to the local attraction park in my previous city. And they had an attraction that is a pool where you were put in a big transparent plastic/rubber/whatever ball, that was then filled with air, and then you went into the pool in that ball. I loved that. The best sensory experience , 10/10
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.
@@levanah_lillith rocking chairs are the best! My cat loves to sit underneath it and behind it as well, so I always have to check behind it and make sure he's not there before rocking away
I have a gaming rocker. One of my favorite pieces of furniture. And yup. I rock CONSTANTLY, even while playing a very chill game. It's at my parents' place now. I miss that thing.
From the looks of that, it's a single stroke pump. A double stroke pump would get the job done in like half the time and probably not be that much more work. (It pumps air both on the down and the up stroke)
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.
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 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.
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!
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
I remember my grandma had some sort of rocking chair, but it was a weird curve shaped thing that resembled the front bucket seat in a 70s car. It just sat in the middle of the room and you could sit in it and rock around. It was big enough to fit an adult under 6'. That thing was SO MUCH FUN. I don't know why they stopped being made because it does the exact thing this inflatable does, but with less sadness and frustration.
"We're at the temporarily giving up portion of the activity." Usually followed by the yelling at myself for letting something stupid defeat me. Then the stubborn anger comes out and gets it done.
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.
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.
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.
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 cant count all the things my husband has bought thinking they look cool, or be extremely helpful in some way, but to only find out they were the wrong size, didnt work, or it wasn't what he expected. Oh well, sometimes I can use whatever it is or someone else gets it.
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'.
To me, you come off as pretty normal if quirky when you're addressing the camera, but then when you divide your attention, it jumps out a bit more, and I think that's why it took me half a lifetime to figure out what other people are seeing in me. Staring at yourself is a really simple activity where it's hard to identify your own oddness, but if I go look at myself attempting to actually live, that's where the weirdness comes out. And I'm fine with it. I just needed an explanation as to why people treat me like they do.. You, on the other hand, are very charming and likeable.
That looks like a pretty cool toy! I'm actually a BT on the spectrum myself and looking for get my RBT certification as well. Been studying for the RBT test. How do you deal with some of the sensory issues working as an RBT? I applied for ADA accommodations at my job my supervisor thinks they will definitely help.
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.
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
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
Sometimes it is faster to just blow stuff up using your lungs, at least to start, your lungs probably have more capacity than the pump does, but getting a high pressure would be more difficult, so starting with lungs and then switching to the pump might be the least effort way to do it. Although it will still tiring either way, so maybe the pump is best.
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 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.
My sensory toy when I was little an ant that my aunt got from the Orkin man. It was rubberyish and the i the he was the coolist toy ever... I lost him when I tried to make him fly and he landed on the roof... A bird took it from there...😅
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!

You forgot step 2.5 get distracted and give up
This sounds accurate.
Wtf 🤦🏾♀️ Oof
@@LB-ge8ihalternatively, give calming toy to dog and see if they like it! 😂
Imagine one that was a whole circle and you could roll around in it like a hamster wheel
:O
They have them ❤
Those exist!!! They were called Zorb when I was a kid, can confirm they're very fun. Refuse to confirm in public how fun they are on a trampoline 👀
That exists. When I lived in a large city, they had some sort of group that would roll around in them once a week

"this would be a different kind of content, eww" 😂 you always crack me up
Jayne (from TV's "Firefly"): "I could stand to hear a little more." 😉
“We’re at the temporarily giving up stage of the activity”- genuinely the most relatable thing ever said

Yes indeed, but Kaelin was likely asked to review the inflateable rocking chair.
It's a great side hustle, except it does not pay at all.
I have one.
Ohhh I love rocking chairs! I'm scared the cat would get under it though by accident ❤
@@levanah_lillith rocking chairs are the best! My cat loves to sit underneath it and behind it as well, so I always have to check behind it and make sure he's not there before rocking away
Next episode: Kaelynn holds a yard sale.
😂🤣
You can literally replicate the feeling of this with a gaming chair and it's probably easier to set one of those up.
Gaming chairs do not feel like inflatable chairs
@@soupisfornoobs4081 no, they feel better
@@HappyMatt12345 your wrong, bean bags feel better
I have a gaming rocker. One of my favorite pieces of furniture. And yup. I rock CONSTANTLY, even while playing a very chill game. It's at my parents' place now. I miss that thing.
@@IDrawToothpicks EXACTLY.
Me... a gruff older guy when the doggo gave you sympathetic looks and tail thumps.... "Awwww I love that doggie....".
I hadn't even realised there was a dog in the video 😅 your comment made me rewatch it ^^
Me, reading the comment: There was a dog?
dogs are so supportive. "no idea what's going on but i love you and believe in you"
I adore her ❤ she's amasing and such beauty inside and out! 💐🤩
Kaelynn, you need an electric pump. It makes life easier.😂
From the looks of that, it's a single stroke pump. A double stroke pump would get the job done in like half the time and probably not be that much more work. (It pumps air both on the down and the up stroke)
I bet it would work great as a pool float
Haha the definitive "cool!" Gets me
I guess it works, after all that the only thing you feel is exhaustion.
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.
Yeah, although those tend to be rather loud.
@@SmallSpoonBrigade The small battery powered ones aren't that loud these days.
You are so amazing, I love watching you content! Thank you for posting for us to see. :]

You're so brilliant and educated. It would be Great to meet you and your family. ❤❤❤❤❤
the finished product reminds me of these rocker seats my sister and i had at some point growing up. those were fun 😄
Was the airpump the sensory toy? XD
I could definitely see myself using that as a pool float. 😂
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!
‘It looks the same’ ohhhh, had that feeling sooooo many times while inflating an air mattress 😂
I have the wooden version of that. It works. Because it's made of wood. And not inflatable.
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
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 just freaking awesome we love you here ma'am keep it up can't wait for more
The dog's tail wagging when you had a short "giving up" moment ❤

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 😅
"We're at the temporarily giving up portion of the activity."
Usually followed by the yelling at myself for letting something stupid defeat me. Then the stubborn anger comes out and gets it done.
Not sure I could work on that for an hour and a half. I might have given up.

You should see my 5-Year-Old daughter in her " calming sensory swing" yeeting herself off the top of the couch 😂
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.
Tail wag when you collapsed is emotional support I love labradors
I don't have any sensory problems that I know of because I just repress all of my feelings and it makes everything ok.
"different kind of video"... had me on the floor.. 🤣🤣
I need a nap after watching all that hard work 😅
I want one of these so bad like indescribably bad
Literally me every time I try to put something together, including the pants comment 😂
I definitely want that other type of content.
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.

She's so witty
I'd be laughing my butt off with her
100% best friend material FR

You are so full of life ... just reminds me how lonely I am 😂😂😂
I want to test this in a pool!
The dog: 👀 you’re really struggling with that huh?
To me, you come off as pretty normal if quirky when you're addressing the camera, but then when you divide your attention, it jumps out a bit more, and I think that's why it took me half a lifetime to figure out what other people are seeing in me.

The sensory activity is pumping up the constantly leaking pool float
ah, there may have been a mistake! You see, this is what is known as an "infuriating sensory toy" /j
That looks so fun
I highly recommend trying a hammock instead. The style that can swing (ie, attached at two points; not four).
That looks like a pretty cool toy! I'm actually a BT on the spectrum myself and looking for get my RBT certification as well. Been studying for the RBT test. How do you deal with some of the sensory issues working as an RBT? I applied for ADA accommodations at my job my supervisor thinks they will definitely help.
I've used that same kind of pump for an air mattress. It's extremely annoying for a neurotypical person as well.
Im sorry if this is superficial, but I just love your appearance. You just look nice, in every sense of the word.

That would make an awesome pool float though
def would be ideal in a pool for adult-sized people lol
FOR FUTURE REFRENCE: Get a trash bag and cut of a tiny corner. DUCT tape the nozzle to the bag. Done

Id low key like to use that
Great job!👏 😊

thumbnail looking like you got that dank kush
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!😊
It wasn’t great for me, but when I donated it, the kids at the therapy center LOVE it 😊

Where'd you get this video of me trying to build flat pack furniture? /joke
More testing of sensory tools please.
You should get one of those electric inflators.
I heard cold showers are good for dopamine boosts. But also I dont want to do that.
Good job! ❤❤❤
I wish you and I were friends. I have autism as well.
If I didn't know better I'd say the inflation stage is the real point of the exercise, just to exhaust the user.

Looks like it was exhausting 😂
Maybe you could use a blow dryer to prep that thing
I like your room and your black Labrador is awesome. I have a black 🐈⬛️ and her name is Meccho Schmitty🤗 K bye!
So this is what aly looks like
Fun!
Does tight hugs help calm you ?
Ok but now I wanna know if these are safe for the pool bc that looks way more comfy than the flat pool floats
I could have brought over a air compressor
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
Happy Autistic Pride Day
Cute
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!
How much money did you spend on the pool float?
If there was ever a movie about her, I think Brie Larson would be the perfect actress.
Hey i know this is cliche and people say most days, but you are loved and God is for you always. ❤ God bless you❤❤
Cool
Shes adorable 🥰. I could be the strawberry farm guy 😜. But seriously she would brighten my everyday
I don’t think the sensory aspect is the setup😅
😆
And I thought it was hard using a small hand pump on a bike tire
