There are several main reasons why autistic people love stuffed toys.

First, plush toys can provide stable sensory stimulation. Their soft texture, regular shapes and soft colors can bring a sense of familiarity and comfort to people with autism and reduce anxiety caused by external uncertainty.

Second, for autistic patients who have difficulty in social interaction, stuffed toys are “companions” without pressure or threat. Interacting with them can train patients' ability to touch, hug, and other physical contact, helping them improve their social skills to a certain extent.

Third, plush toys often have cute and clear appearance features, which can help people with autism understand and recognize emotional expressions and meet their cognitive needs.

Fourthly, owning a specific stuffed toy can become a self-identification and emotional sustenance for people with autism, allowing them to find their own little world in a complex world and gain a sense of security and belonging.
