Pressure Therapy Vest for Autism (In Progress)

I am currently in the process of designing a deep pressure therapy vest for my thesis. The vest is specifically designed to help people with autism who suffer from sensory processing issues, but can benefit a much larger range of people as well (people with ADD, anxiety, panic disorder, etc.). The styling and functional components are inspired by athletic/outdoors gear in order to reduce stigmas associated with the vest, and to make it easier to use.
