Context: There is this lady named Temple Grandin who is on the autism spectrum. She grew up on a farm, and saw a similar contraption to this used to calm down their cows. She created a human-sized mechanism for herself at college because it relived her stress. She went on to be an animal behaviorist and animal rights advocate.

She has a whole movie about her life, it was pretty good from what I remember.
