Craft Nectar made a weighted blanket for her daughter because of its calming properties, and shares a tutorial showing how she did it. According to her blog, weighted blankets are sometimes used as a therapy for ADD, autism, and other sensory conditions. Please note that you need to consult your physician to determine whether this kind of blanket would be helpful and the amount of weight that is appropriate. Go to the tutorial to find out how to make one.
