Sensory strategies that work for OUR kid (not the generic advice)

My son hates the standard fidget toys. He's happiest jumping off the bed or organizing his toys by color for 45 minutes.

I've read a million generic 'sensory diet' posts and they all feel written for some other kid.

What sensory input or routine actually works for your child? The weird, specific, doesn't-fit-the-textbook stuff?

Yes — 'jumps off the bed for 45 minutes' is way better intel than 'provide proprioceptive input.' Drop your kid's specific weird-that-works thing; specificity is the gift here.

Mine needs deep pressure she can control — a heavy cushion pile she burrows under after school. We call it the 'reset cave.'
